There really are many places to have a quick bite in Melbourne but one groovy lane is Degraves Street which is a laneway that runs between Finders Street and Flinders Lane, near Elizabeth Street. Close to an exit from Flinders Street Station, it is a popular place for people to stop for a coffee or snack before catching a train. The above view is of Degraves Expresso bar which attracts an eclectic crowd who are all buzzing (no wonder, really, when they're here for the excellent coffee). There's a Parisian edge to the café, enhanced by the art deco interior. The menu runs the gamut from Panini to house-made desserts such as fresh muffins. Soups are always good value and often vegetarian.
