Review: Primary cafe

April 8th, 2010 Peter Comments off

On a rare occasion, I found myself in the Parkville area, home to the Melbourne Zoo, Monash University’s Pharmacy campus, just on the outskirts to the city.

While it allows you to choose your desired chocolate-milk ratio, it does not really add to the experience. The experience, however, is built and developed by [...]
