Australia’s cafes now have menus overflowing with bigger and better gimmicks when it comes to coffee. All manner of pantry leftovers have made their way into coffee in cafes around the globe. Canada boasts a coffee loaded with cereal (thanks but no thanks Cafe Melbourne in Montreal) and perhaps more abhorrently Commonfolk Melbourne introduced the Broccoli Latte. Oh, how I wish the latter were a joke, but unfortunately it’s a real brew that consists of a traditional latte partnered with broccoli powder.
