Bluebird Espresso was listed in Epicure as serving the best smashed avocado in Melbourne. Since it’s on the way to uni I thought I’d pop in to see how it was. The avocado pieces were quite large and more chopped than smashed, but I’m not fussy. At first glance, there didn’t seem to be heaps of avocado, but looks can be deceiving; when I spread it out over the lovely, crusty, tasty multigrain sourdough toast, there ended up being a layer of avocado ~2.5cm high.

To my dismay, Bayte wasn't open for lunch today and only opens for lunch Friday to Sunday. A few seconds after I arrived at the door, a group of girls also came, only to be disappointed by the changed opening hours (apparently not for the first time). I thought I'd go home for lunch instead, but upon checking the...
