LDU Coffee

LDU isn't trying to be the kind of coffeehouse where you post up all day on a comfy couch with a laptop; Australian coffee culture is more about the coffee itself. Those modern design elements — all that wood and concrete — make the space get quite loud as the room fills up, so it may not be the best place to have a meeting, either. But with coffee this good, that's OK. Not every coffee shop needs to be populated by laptop-wielding telecommuters. The coffee here is the draw.
