Alex Clisby, barista at Goldilocks
Alex is a man who knows coffee. In fact, he just returned from a three-month trip to Europe where he sampled the coffee of Greece, Italy, Spain, Holland, England, France, Germany and the Czech Republic. His verdict? Well, you may be surprised to hear that Alex voted German coffee as #1 – though he diplomatically says that he can only speak for the selected cafes he tried on his travels. If you think another country should take the crown, be sure to let him know!
When he isn’t working the
Slayer Espresso machine at Goldilocks, Alex can be found playing drums in his band,
The ReFunds. He formed the band with his brothers and they regularly play around Melbourne, for those of you looking to hear some original rock’n’roll music.
Alex has tried most of the dishes at Goldilocks and says his favourite is the pulled pork with fried eggs, Asian salad and herb chilli salsa – one of the unique breakfast options on offer. From the
Firechief menu, he recommends the Dorper lamb, with braised saltbush Dorper lamb, goats cheese, toasted almonds, parsley, mint and crushed tomato.
Luckily, Alex is a morning person (it must be hard for baristas who aren’t), so if you’re in need of a smiling face at 8am on a Monday, be sure to drop by and say hello!
