Food Scene
Consistently excellent coffee and food for breakfast and lunch, great salads, very friendly staff, cool tucked away location, beautiful North Melbourne heritage neighbourhood only 10-15 minute walk from the apartment. If you want a good coffee, this is the place, never lets me down (and I am pretty fussy about my coffee).

Another great Malaysian restaurant near Newmarket station just a few doors from Laksa King. If you can't get into Laksa King because of the crowds this is just as good in my view but not as popular for some reason. Slightly different menu choices, but great laksa here as well.
