if you've got a laptop, a few hours, and no particular desire to share a table with anyone, flinders lane has a habit of sorting you out. grain store at 517 sits on one of the city's better streets for this kind of day, close enough to the cbd grid to be convenient but not so loud that you can't think. the specialty coffee is the obvious draw, and it holds up, but the tea list here is worth your attention too, which isn't something you can say about most places in this part of town. small plates cover the food side, with vegan options that don't read like an afterthought. come for the cortado on a tuesday morning when the lane is still quiet.
