Foundry Records

I got invited to Foundry Records and I do believe this is the first and only time I've been unable to find a friend to come with me, so solo ThatSeriousGirl trip it is! I had no idea what they sold for breakfast when I went there as I couldn't find anything online about them!

I ended up parking on Brunswick Street and legging it to Wickham Street since there isn't a huge abundance of parking down that one way hell hole to Chinatown.

The sign is pretty distinctive

This place!

The interior is very much cool brick cafe!

Lots of photos to buy

Usually there's live music here!

Music here was great

They sell a lot of really cheap CDs and vinyls from local bands as well as popular alternative/indie artists from around the world.

I was sorely tempted checking out their collection of music

They also sell band shirts!

So comfy

This is their bar/counter area!

I spy drinks!

This is a little cosy corner full of comfy couches. I did not sit here of course because I like to creepily watch the door when I eat.

Nice

They have probably the coolest looking menu I've ever seen. It's in the shape of a disc. On the other hand, there's only bread on the menu. 

So cool

Drink wise, I just grabbed myself a soy flat white. It was beautiful, silky smooth, strong with no overly bitter flavours and balanced enough flavour wise that I didn't need sugar.

Solid coffee

As you know, I'm a pretty solid brekkie eater so I went for the biggest thing on their menu the Cheesus and Mary Jane toasted sandwich with smoked ham added inside. The combination of tomato, cheese and ham is a classic one and this one was pretty good with a nice stretchy cheese, smokey ham, ripe tomato and a dark rye bread. I didn't eat my pickle as it was way too salty and there were already quite a bit of rock salt used as a garnish.

Foundry Records
Atmosphere: 10, super cool atmosphere for lovers of cool music.
Service: 5, counter service but the barista was super chatty with everyone there.
Food: 5, toast is toast. This would be a wonderful place to set up shop if you need to get an assignment done.
