There's a buzz around this tiny coffee shop on the perimeter of South Melbourne Market, not only for its expertly crafted brew but for the weekend doughnuts from local bakers Doughboys, with everything from apple cider to hazelnut truffle to dulche de leche with Kaffir lime filling. Grab a street-side table or takeaway and wander the market stalls.
