Salford Lads Club

Parking is a breeze but it can be tricky scoring a table at this popular cafe in a spacious converted auto workshop in industrial Port Melbourne. Locals flock here for the toasty, intense Coffee Supreme espresso ($3) or a smooth, chocolatey long black ($3.80). Eggs dominate breakfast, while blackboard lunch specials might include a steak sandwich or gin-cured salmon. Named in honour of UK band The Smiths (look it up), SLC's industrial feel is enlivened by vintage teaspoons, a custom-painted pink San Marco espresso machine and a tyre swing in the tree out front.
