If you get a green light on Cleveland at Elizabeth Street, Rosie’s will appear but a piglet-pink blur as you drive past. If you get a red light, you might notice it looks like a giant has dropped a cupcake in between the fridge and the wall. The hole-in-the-wall coffee and cake outlet is the ultimate ‘in between’ space. Its size is in between café and vending machine, and it’s located like a nice little colourful comma, breaking the long drawn out sentence that is Cleveland Street. **The coffee ranks from good to a little bit better than good, and priced in between $2.30 and $2.80, making it a perfect for a journey in between mid morning and the rest of the day. Not so in between however, is the delightful Rosie, who is there herself, happily eradicating the need for middle management.
