Proud Mary

Cafe
172 Oxford St, Collingwood VIC 3066
Proud Mary

"Proud Mary is probably the best. It is such a cultural institution. That's our go-to coffee every morning, and I just love how dark their roast is. I've never had a Proud Mary's coffee that I didn't like."

Bar

The Alderman

"My favorite pub is not exactly a pub, but a chill bar that has pub energy. It's called The Alderman on Lygon Street. The owners work there, they're so lovely and really generous. It's such a cozy little place."

Retropolis

Vintage Clothing Store
1 Newman St, Preston VIC 3072
Retropolis

"There's another place called Retropolis in Preston — obsessed. I got my round kitchen table from there. It's another underrated place because you have to drive past it to see it. It's not like on a main strip, but there's a roller rink built next door."
