"Sometimes sticking to the basics is the best policy. Long and short does one thing and does it well – make coffee. Melbourne coffee shops set the bar extremely high, so there’s no room for scrubs, and the Long and Short passes all tests with flying colours. The owner, Scrodge, is always down for a chat and seems to know everything worth knowing about the goings on of Brunswick, so if you’re looking for a point in the right direction, head down, grab a coffee and say hi. There's a small selection of tasty snacks as well." - Smith & Thomas
