I was highly impressed with this coffee shop in the bottom of Dominion Tower. You may think it caters to the busy corporate clientele in the tower--and maybe it does--but it's still an incredibly well-roasted and well crafted cup of coffee in a shop with beautiful waterfront views and a hip, modern vibe. I had read some good reviews on the lavender latte, and it didn't disappoint: the floral aromas and smooth taste were well worth a second trip. I also appreciated the barista could make it less sweet. I also tried the mocha, which was a rich flavor, combining well with the espresso.
Along with unique specialty drinks, they have also mastered the basics, and I was impressed the barista knew what a long black was, something not common in America. They were even familiar with the "babyccino," another thing ubiquitous in Australia that is hard to find in the states. Overall, Neptune's Fury is a great reason to head into...

For food, I ordered the halved croissant with cream cheese and strawberriesā¦that I did not take a picture of because it went down my gullet that rapidly š They had some outdoor seating which worked perfectly to chat + soak some rays in for a randomly warm (thanks global warming?) November day.
Iām salty that the delicious scones made by the Virginia Pie Shop are not served here anymore...but Iāll get over it.
If youāre on the ERT, this spot just makes sense to pop into for a trail...

I work in the building, and itās such a joy (and convenience) to have a place like this to stop into when I need a quick break or a friendly smile.
