Cafe Piato

It was during my corporate days (before becoming a freelance writer) that I had to head off to client meetings, and my experience at this popular café on St Kilda Road was on one of those occasions. I was just in the mood for a latte. I was with great clients, so the experience was terrific. It was great to be sitting further opposite from the counter with pen, paper and a compendium in hand. Not the time to relax, although the coffee and the customer service was something great; that extra element that made way for a great meeting to be enjoyed.
No need to reach for the sugar. A small latte with a couple of glasses of water kept me satisfied and not out of it or dehydrated at the end of this experience. From what I could observe from this establishment (I was too focused on the meeting experience to recall anything else otherwise) the space was abundant, and the staff were quite prompt and fast on their feet. No complaints about the service; it was really something, and when it mattered great service was delivered. If I ever had to head out this way again, I will be coming back for more.
