Moving further south to another Australian wine region, I’m now in Frankston, the northern most point of the Mornington Peninsula. According to the city’s welcome sign, it’s “where city meets country”. It’s more like suburbia.
I’m actually living a very short distance from here while I’m in Australia. Yes, enjoying the tranquillity of country life. So, after running some errands I decide to grab a quick lunch at the Brothers on Young. The café sits among a slew of indistinguishable shops in an outdoor shopping complex on what I assume is the main drag in Frankston. What draws me to Brothers is its laid back café vibe and its promise of good coffee. With mocha-stained wood panel floors, contemporary art displayed on the walls, and Michael Jackson (back when he was awesome) playing through the speakers, the ambience is hip, modern and leisurely.
Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere, simple but tasty food. And the flat white …delicious and beautifully decorated with micro foam coffee art (a heart). Well, I heart you too, Flat White!
Brothers on Young is located at 6 Young St, Frankston, VIC, Australia 3199
