"Wide Open Road is a true all-rounder in Brunswick. Yes, the roastery churns out one of Melbourne's best blends, but the baristas also brew exquisite tea, and the kitchen serves up terrific cafe meals that defy any one genre. Espresso drinkers can choose from the signature Bathysphere Blend, another blend tailored to milky drinks, and rotating single-origin coffees. There are also loose-leaf teas by Larsen & Thompson; brewing for these is carefully timed and temperature controlled." - Dan F. Stapleton
