No,we hadn't heard of Espresso Botero,either - apologies to Danny Young's Maclean-based roastery in the Clarence Valley. His beans are done proud in a caffe latte ($3.50) at the Blue Chook,encased in a red-brick,library-like building at the end of a pram-friendly ramp. Co-owner and caterer Anthony Perring stirs pots in the open kitchen,coming up with fun things like bite-sized egg tarts for breakfast,or sticky toffee pud in a jar to take home. The lovely smell of slow-braised meatballs wafts through the open windows to the few streetside tables easy to know what to order for lunch,then.
