"Walking into Monk Bodhi, a pint-sized coffee roaster and cafe tucked away in a nondescript alleyway in Balaclava riddled with Melbourne's ubiquitous street art, you're immediately overwhelmed by the scent of toasting coffee beans and a charming, unpretentious, hippie vibe. The produce-driven food here is so tasty that you'll almost forget you're nixing the meat and dairy. Like many parts of the world, açaí bowls are all the rage in Melbourne right now, and Monk Bodhi does a bangup job with its version." - Krista Simmons
