Shirt Bar is a unique cafe sitting low in the Sussex Lane next to the gigantic Westpac Building near Wynyard station. It is a bar, cafe and a boutique tailor combine. The ambience of the cafe is nice and cosy, giving you that bit of tranquility as you take your time with your coffee. The few seatings available also provide a nice spot for meetings while enjoying the coffee.
I discovered this place as I was on my way back to office from a lunch at Westpac Food Court. Since then it has been one of my favourite spots to sit in or more often than so, it is also my preferred cafe to bring my inter-state colleagues to.
Since the day of my decision to dedicate my blog time to coffee, I have made Shirt Bar as my first blog. I was very lucky to be given a "yes" decision for a quick interview with the barista. I hope you will like the blog and stay tune for the next blog with "Triple Shots".
