When I lived in Melbourne I was blown away by the coffee culture there. They took it damn seriously, and the local places were amazing. Even the random dudes in vans with an expresso machine in the back that were parked outside of parks/venues/busy areas were slinging primo stuff.
Hands-down best coffee I had in the Oz, though, was in Perth (Northbridge area). There was a tiny hole in the wall coffee shop next to a spice market that was amazing.
If the rest of the Oz is like either of those 2 locales, I can see why S-bux would fail.
