If you've had your fill of Lebanese bakery, try something different at True North. Lovely wood panel cafe with booths, it's a great place to get a burger or bagel and wash it down with a local beer or cocktails.

Food Scene
This is the hottest little Lebanese bakery in Coburg! And a 5 minute walk from my place. Incredible range of savoury Lebanese bakery treats like Zaatar pizzas (tip ask then to put fresh onion and tomato on) and spinach and cheese - all cooked in a pizza oven. It's inside a small shop too - so you can pick up incredible marinated Persian feta and soft fresh Leabanese bread. It's super budget friendly - you can get a coffee and bakery item for about $5!

Taste of Thai is absolutely delicious! It's pretty basic inside in terms of ambience, so I usually pick up some Thai with a bottle of wine from the Liquorland across the street when I'm feeling like a night! They'll deliver too.

Getting Around
Coburg Train Station is a 5 minute walk! But far enough away not to hear the trains at night from my place. It's on the Upfield line - it goes through stops through Brunswick, North Melbourne before going into the City Loop. You can be in the City in about 25 minutes. You need to buy a Myki card at the train station from the attendant or from the machine. You can find the timetable on the PTV website.

Catch the number 19 tram down Sydney Road - jump off at Brunswick, Royal Parade Park, Melbourne University, Queen Victoria Market or all the way into the city. Takes about 30 to 40 minutes to go all the way depending on peak hour. If you're going to Brunswick or the city - faster to get the train!

All the Essentials
Firstly, there are two Coles in Coburg across the street from each other! One used to be Bi Lo and I think they keep them both open so not to lose the real estate. I'd recommend crossing the street to the Waterfield one - bigger range of products, has a bakery in store and has a Liqourland next to it.
