Where to Get A Mont Blanc Coffee In Brisbane Sure To Hit The Spot
Fun Little Drink culture is alive and well in Brisbane. Our thirst for taste bud-tantalising beverages has yet to be sated, and any caffeine factor is a win, quite frankly. Enter: the Mont Blanc. Hailing from the coffee culture epicentre of Australia, the Mont Blanc was born in a Melbourne cafe by the name of Good Measure and quickly became the talk of the town (and beyond)—creating a stir behind counters across the country.
Inspired by the Korean specialty coffee scene, this drink is typically constructed from cold brew, black sugar syrup, a cold cream foam, nutmeg and orange zest. You’ll find it won’t be served with a straw, and this is by design. Mont Blancs are intended to be sipped, so that you taste the coffee through the foam (any cute milk moustaches are just a bonus).
So if you’re craving a Fun Little Drink, scroll on down and discover where to find a Mont Blanc coffee in Brisbane:
