Over the weekend the Aussie and I paid a visit to Laneway Speciality Coffee Shop in Parap, Darwin for some lunch as we had heard great things about the food as well as the coffee that they serve there. Darwin’s not really known for it’s coffee shops and so Laneways is quite popular.
On their Facebook page they say that their main focus is on specialty coffee, simple fresh food and family friendly service. The sourdough is organic and baked fresh daily and the sweets cabinet (which was filled with gorgeous looking cakes) is where you will see their naughty side!
It was tough deciding what to eat because the choices all sounded delicious but the coffee was an easy choice and I opted for a latte which tasted really good and was not expensive when you consider how much, not so great coffee costs in Darwin!
The Aussie and I both ordered the Wagyu Burger and I added bacon to mine!. The burger was delicious as was the filling and I would definitely order that again because it was really tasty and I think great value for money, especially as we were still full from lunch in the evening and didn’t need dinner! Even better we realised later in the day that an old school friend who recently moved to Darwin from the UK was our Chef and so we will be popping back soon to say hi to her.
There were also some specials available and so I tried the very tasty Raspberry, pomegranate and lime soda and the Aussie tried a Vanilla Guerilla milkshake which was in a huge milkshake cup and he wolfed down so quickly I couldn’t even get a picture so it must have been good! Mind you he is a milkshake fiend and that his drink of choice if it is on a menu!
I loved the way that the place was decorated with old thrift shop style objects like old glass milk bottles, tins from milk powder for storing knives and forks and old style scales up by the till.
I’m not a big coffee drinker normally but I did really like the atmosphere in Laneway’s. The service was fantastic and you felt like you were really well taken care of. My only regret was that we were too full to try one of the cakes on sale but next time they are definitely on the list!!!

That burger looks out of this world good!!! It’s seriously about to derail my diet…
I love how they put a little obligatory salad on the side!
