“Melbourne is blessed to have a population that enjoys eating and drinking out. “Australia really has created our own dining culture as a space to meet friends and colleagues,” says Mark Dundon, co-owner of Brother Baba Budan, one of Melbourne’s most popular cafés. And especially in a place like Melbourne (where the central business district is not unlike downtown New York in terms of density) cafés provided much-needed spaces for socializing. Café culture was something that meshed well with the Australian experience, where life was slower than in hectic Europe, inevitably influenced by the surf and sunshine. When droves of Italian immigrants relocated to Melbourne, Australia, after World War II, they brought their taste for coffee with them. The answer goes back to the mid-20th century, when Italian café culture had a boom of sorts in the 1940s thanks to the invention of the steam-powered espresso machine.
