After the disappointment of Geelong’s premiership spanking, its fair to say that the blokes were at their lowest as they dutifully made their way to Guildford for a brew. Having prepared for the worst, the blokes (in their infinite wisdom) had saved one of their most requested spots for such a solemn morning. The pressure on Willing Coffee was therefore immense - not only did they need to deliver to live up to their name, they also needed to be a guiding light in the blokes’ darkest hour
Vibes 🍃- Heeding back to the 1950 Italian style, family run cafes, this quaint petite environment certainly was something to marvel. Owned by former Australian Cycling Champion – Tim Willing, this establishment pays homage to our favourite lycra-lined road friends with even a pump facility. A beautiful red-quartz and mahogany bar accompanying stunning aesthetics and awesome baristas. Massive ✅
Taste 👅 – Awesome array of beans on offer raging from single origin ‘Twin Peaks’, Filtered New York ‘Sey’ coffee and a choice of three batch brews on the pour. Our old friend Community Coffee Co. ran a custom milk blend that was incredibly fruit forward and boldly unique. Heavy tones of grapefruit and berry, tangled with cocoa; potentially under extracted but hard to tell given how fruity it was. We love the courage in this brew, not easy to pull off!
Temperature 🌡 – As Katy Perry said, sometimes you’re hot, sometimes you're cold. Unfortunately, fell towards the latter
Glass Size 📏 - Big tick for the 6oz, but as you know we prefer the dispersion ratios in a glass vessel
Froth 🥛 – If the froth was a female, it would be Margot Robbie. Honestly perfect
General Appearance/Consistency 🤩 - Understandable that there were no swans on offer considering the hiding they got yesterday. Still whipped out 4 wicked looking beverages
Fair to say our ‘Willing’-ness to venture to the swamplands of Guildford paid off. An outstanding brew that only reminds us of the Geelong Cats' 2022 Grand Final performance against an embarrassing Sydney’s Swans🦢🤡. A much-recommended spot and rightfully so!
83.0/100 on the Brew ‘o’ Meter 🤖🤝
