Husband

It's a cafe. In South Yarra. Nice salads and wraps. Really good coffee. And they sell French deli-type things, like the sugar cubes that come in the box with a parrot on it. I reckon you can judge a place on that alone really. Definite cool value.
Now...the name: Husband. Funny name for a cafe. This is a quasi-explanation: "Having a local barista is very much like having another husband (albeit one that is completely agreeable and a great listener)."
Maybe. The verb "to husband" means to use resources economically. Could that be the etymology? Another foodie guide describes the cafe as being like a husband in that it is "there for you morning, noon and afternoon..."??? A cafe that poses more questions than Selwyn Toogood on W3.
