Industry Beans is one of the most beautiful cafes I've ever visited - just love the atmosphere there. Especially being surrounded by one of a kind coffee greenhouse! Have you ever been to a coffee greenhouse before? or even heard of one? The cafe has a minimal design with natural materials to create a welcoming atmosphere and also has a seasonal brunch menus from sides to desserts and obviously delicious drinks. Industry Beans is well known for its 'Coffee Bubble cup' - cold brew coffee with coffee soaked tapioca pearls.

OCTOBER MONTHLY FAVOURITES & Hello 2020!
Hello 2020!
Can't believe my last blog post was back in July 2019.. its not to late to start with 'January October monthly favourites' right? Who ever thought that 2020 would bring the whole world into a lockdown?? No travelling, seeing friends or family, working from home, can't go more than 5km from home, shortage of toilet paper and carbohydrates foods etc.. what a year! I think its safe to say that we're all looking forward to 2021!
Going back to last year, 2019.. I did quite a bit of travelling and went to South Korea, China, Abu Dhabi, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia & Italy! I also traveled by myself internationally for the first time ever!! I realised I definitely like having a travel buddy! I also did zip lining which is always so fun at Mount Tamborine and I also tried paddle boarding for the first time in OPEN WATERS at Byron Bay Beach and never again will I do paddle boarding at a beach! I definitely need to try again BUT in a canal, to get use to it!
As for this year in January, I got to finally see my all time favourite tennis player Novak Djokovic play. I travelled to Melbourne and saw KAWS: Companionship in The Age of Loneliness Exhibition, hosted a few BBQs and made a Lotus biscoff Cheesecake! Had day drips to Noosa, picnics in the Park, did some hiking and ate a lot of yummy Korean food!
Unfortunately my travels for this year is a no go and to think that in only 37 days I would be heading of to explore Japan for the first time seeing Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima etc Ahh makes me so sad!! Hoping for next year I get to explore the beautiful country Japan and of course make a cheeky stop over by South Korea as well! Here are some photos of 2020 so far..

A QUICK GUIDE TO SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
- The local currency is the South Korea Won.
- Going by Taxis is cheaper than you think! (But not so if you're going to Gangnam). Taking the trains (subway) is super cheap, and easy to get around (Don't forget to purchase a T-Money card).
- Take the time to learn a few basic phrases: "annyeonghaseyo" ("Hello"), "juseyo" ("Please"), and my favourite is "kamsahamnida" ("Thank You").
- No tipping is required!
- Gyeongbokgung Palace
- Bukchon Hanok Village

PADDOCK BAKERY | GOLD COAST CAFE
Paddock Bakery is located at Gold Coast, Queensland where it offers wood-fired sourdough, plus brekkie and lunch, in a stylish weatherboard space with a leafy garden! A great place for brunch with friends and family. It opens 7 days a week from 6:30AM to 3PM, a perfect little cafe to go to before heading to work/university or school!
What to order from Paddock Bakery? Here are some of my recommendations;
New Zealand King Smoked Salmon, cream cheese, pickled red onion, capers, lemon zest and fresh herbs on our house boiled and wood-fired bagel
or
Fresh avocado served on our house 7-grain wholemeal sourdough toast with toasted pistachios, sunflower seeds & pepitas. Dressed with lemon juice, Joseph olive oil & fresh parsley
& Hot Chocolate!
