Last Friday, Oz-French gypsies Mzaza released their new album ‘Ghosts’.
Mzaza members have a healthy obsession with coffee and good food and band tours can easily be mistaken for culinary tours.
Jordan, Mzaza's resident coffee expert and percussionist, takes you on a tour of his top five cafes in Sydney and Melbourne. You might spot them there during their 'Ghosts' album-release tour, which kicks off this week.
The Bunker
I love going to The Bunker at Darlinghurst in Sydney; it's a fantastic alternative, eclectic suburb perfect for people watching and great coffee and food.West Juliett
West Juliett in Sydney's Marrickville is owned and run by John, my Greek brother from another mother; his lemon and lentil soup would come close to rivalling my grandma's!The Grounds Of Alexandria
The Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney is a cafe with a petting zoo! There is nothing more to say!Seven Seeds Cafe
Seven Seeds Cafe in Carlton, Melbourne, is a hidden gem; from the outside it looks like the plain façade of a regular warehouse, behind the unassuming door reveals a feast for the senses, a coffee lover's paradise.Industry Beans
Industry Beans in Fitzroy not only has divine coffee but offers a near sexual experience of having the best in-house made, chocolate-peanut-butter brownie on the planet! Who needs Viagra?Mzaza Tour Dates
