Live near or work at the Mater Hospital? Then here's a local coffee shop for you.



Desmond & Molly Jones is situated, unfortunately, right on Stanley Street but the acoustically well-designed, and unrelentingly trendy café serves up the best coffee I've had so far within a couple of kilometres of the Mater.

Please don't be frightened off by the noise of the street before you step inside of this new-age/rustic blend establishment – good coffee is hard to come by in these parts.

I've personally frequented D&M's six times now and have been very impressed with the consistently good coffee they bring to the table, regardless of the order. A fresh, rich blend of beans, alongside perfect tamping, leave the coffees aromatic and smooth with a sizable hit of caffeine to wake up the doctors and nurses after last night's shift.

Oddly enough, having the street right outside lends an earthy feel to Desmond & Molly Jones, further complementing the style they've chosen. Lattice is used to obscure the street but the sidewalk is embraced as a part of the café. With a pizza place next door and a florist the next shop down, the result is something along the lines of finding a quick and quiet place within the city, but away from the main bustle, to stop before entering the fray.

The breakfast meal is busy but elegant (see the attached photo) and in-house goodies are thrown together every morning by Chef Jonas McQuiggan. The salted pork belly, pear and sharp cheese on Turkish bread that I had turned out to be a bit full on, but still a good feed for the price (under $10 for that and the short black).

The last thing I'll mention about this lovely little destination is that the service has been phenomenal. I had some mad chats with the owners and they create a really relaxed, easy-going atmosphere for the rest of the clientele.

Open 7am-3pm through the week, 7am-1pm on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. Make sure you give it a go.
