, In Melbourne, when you want a simple, quality baked good with a great coffee, you often need
to visit two separate venues.
“All are welcome” brings something new to the table: the approach to pastry is to highlight
lesser-known viennoiserie and expose people to new flavours and ingredients, while the bread
offering is simple with an emphasis on consistency over quantity.
All in all, All Are Welcome has got that no-nonsense approach to tasty coffee, but this time the
cafe has added in some next-level pastry—just enough to make you wish you lived just around
the corner so this could be part of your daily routine.
Venues = where people meet (shops, festivals…)
Pastry = gebak
An emphasis = een nadruk
On consistency = op samenhang
To make an order. (WRONG) → To place an order.
