After having a two-week trip to Suva extended to six, I decided to start hunting around for the best local coffee spots. For a seriously spoilt , Sydney coffee head like me, finding the right coffee spot was essential to my productivity while writing, working remotely and meeting people in Suva. These are my honest reviews, which include the good, and the ones that ended with instant coffee added to my cup.
My usual order is an almond mocha β call me a hipster if you like, but my choice of coffee is thanks to a sweet tooth and a mild intolerance to lactose. I enjoy my coffee reasonably hot, stronger on the coffee side than milk or chocolate. Alternatively, I still enjoyed coffee with skim milk with hopes that almond might make an appearance if I ask often enough.
A few days into my time in Suva, I found myself standing in the queue at Bulaccino with a girlfriend from Sydney. I ordered a take away mocha with skim. The service was wonderful, and the staff obviously knew my friend as they were calling her by name. While I was waiting for my coffee, I noticed that the warm customer service extended to anyone who walked in.
A few minutes after ordering came the moment of truth β would the coffee be any good? I was hanging for a good coffee and was overly thankful that it was indeed decent and delicious.
They also served our takeaway coffees with shortbread biscuits, which I was very pleased with! It reminded me of my local Italian barista in Sydney who does exactly the same thing.
