Dirty Red is set up in a heritage-style terrace that looks like you’ve just walked into the coolest little loungeroom in Glebe. No, you can’t fit a pram anywhere inside, though the lovely staff have often gone to unfair lengths to help me make it work. There’s a bar behind the counter and someone is just plating up a couple of amazingly-topped brownies paired with some morning mimosas. And their food menu is to die for… I want everything, but my enormous pram and multiple babies prevent me, so a takeaway coffee and BB it is. The coffee is not only excellently prepared but also has a deliciously unique flavour. Their BB by default is served with “espresso butter”, which just sounded irrestibly enticing, so I broke with my no-butter convention. The crust was slightly salty and the espresso butter was minimal and ever-so-slightly coffee flavoured, perfectly complementing rather than overpowering the BB. Freakin’ fantastic.
