How come all the coffee shops shut so early? I wanted a coffee at like 5:01pm yesterday and the only option within walking distance that was open was a 7-11 and the hotel foyer.
Iβm with you. Very few of them stay open after I finish work as well.
Itβs usually down to a very select few or bars or stuff to get a coffee at 4-4:30
I hate they close early too. If I want a "late" coffee when I'm out, I usually end up at Macca's. I don't mind their cappuccinos and they come in a good-sized large.
But yeah, even in Brunswick most close at 3pm. Green Refectory closes late, but they do dinner as well as coffee/cafe food. But they do not have a good-sized large, so I consider that place an extra nice treat.
It's the opposite problem with Japan where they all OPEN at 10-11 and close at 7 so you can't get a goddamn morning coffee except at a dumb chain that sucks.
