The Wedge Espresso

It may be Badde Manors to say so, but the passing of time has driven a wedge through Glebe's cafe scene. Proof is this cool new caff, located in a long, ludicrously narrow, corrugated-steel clad space behind a chemist, with its Iced Milos ('heaps on the bottom, heaps on top, milk and ice-cream in between'), artisan teas and inspired all-day breakfast plate (boiled egg, prosciutto, avocado toast, sliced tomato and yoghurt trifle). The Wedge deploys a special blend designed for milk-based coffee by Melbourne's 5 Senses for its spirited caffe lattes ($3.50), good with a top-notch lemon-and-sage poached chicken sandwich. A long, cool wedge of a cafe with Iced Milos, artisan teas, 5 Senses coffee, all-day breakfasts and a we-do-it-our-way ethic that's spot on for the inner westies.
