Coffee, Chocolate & Tea (CCT) – The Perfect Blend

Image by Julia Forrest

When it comes to coffee, I have to admit that I don’t know much about the art of the medium, but I can say with certainty that the coffee at Coffee, Chocolate and Tea (CCT) is top notch. You’ll find CCT on a discrete location on Argyle Street, its slightly off the beaten path compared to the other coffee shops in the area, but the extra effort to get there is worth it.

On my first visit, I was curious to know what the large red machine was in the corner, and the staff explained to me the process of grinding the coffee beans to ensure freshness. The space is open and stylish, although space is at a premium with benches and only tall stools to sit at.

I enjoy CCT’s velvety smooth flat whites, but as their namesake suggests, speciality teas and handmade chocolates are also on the menu. The selection of teas is excellent. Over 40 different varieties of black, green and white to be stepped in your own pot. Not a tea bag in sight as it is all loose leaf. You will even be given a timer so your tea will brewed perfectly.

You might see the chocolatiers putting the final touches to the individually handcrafted chocolates in the room at the back, before displaying them in a glass case, tempting you to try one. The salt caramel chocolates are the definition of chocolate heaven in my opinion.
