The fourth edition of our canny little series

Continuing our efforts to highlight some of the best local businesses around, we took to Grinder Coffee for a bite to eat and some… well, coffee. Dressed from head to toe in some of the freshest arrivals of late, we ventured out to the brand new city centre location where we must say, our expectations were massively exceeded.

Situated in Hills Art Centre, you can enjoy a cuppa while checking out some of the quality, ever changing art that’s on display. With a massive menu to choose from, we couldn’t help but try as many goods as we could stomach. From bagels and ice coffees to warm drinks and croissants, we were thoroughly happy with what was served up to us. I mean, looking at the images while I write this blog is making me desperate to go back.

In true Aphrodite fashion we couldn’t just rock up in any old clothes, so we threw on some of our latest gear and made a stunning ‘fit, check it out below. Pairing a port red CP Company Tayon L overshirt with an essential white tee from Samuel Ross’ A-Cold-Wall, we created the perfect smart/casual look. As the sun is finally coming out we opted for some shorts, courtesy of Carhartt WIP, on the bottom half, and finished the look off with a timeless pair of New Balance 991’s
