Cafe de Vili’s
There’s nothing like a 24 hour bakery on the outskirts of the city. With decor straight of the 80’s, this place serves everything you would find in a corner tuck shop, but on a larger scale. I’ve had the chips and gravy from here before, but this time I went for the Caramel and Banana…
Bond & Lane Canteen
You would be surprised at the number of old shopfronts that are found in the suburban backstreets. Some of them are converted into residences, while others remain empty till this very day. Bond and Lane Canteen, on the other hand, have continued with past traditions, and opened up a cafe serving breakfast, lunch, sweets and…

San Churro – Gouger St
San Churro stores are popping up around Adelaide and the latest one to open is along the Gouger Street cafe precinct. Unlike their sister store on Rundle Street, this particular place is spacious and has a maximum capacity of 200 over 3 levels. The decor is typical of what you see in other San Churro stores,…
Jenny’s Gourmet Bakery
The most reputable place to get your cronuts in Adelaide is at Jenny’s Gourmet Bakery. You have to get here quick folks. When I got here around lunch time, there were only 3 types of cronuts left. Today, I went for the Cookies and Cream Cronut. The cost was $5, which was reasonably priced considering…
BTS Cafe – Gouger St
BTS, for those in the know, stands for “Better Than Sex”. I noticed Better Than Sex were opening up a new store on Gouger Street and I was really pumped about coming here. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, and their delicious cupcakes are right up my alley. Well, maybe not my alley,…
Gloria Jeans – Hindley St
Gloria Jeans is an American franchised coffee store that is now equally as popular in Australia than it is in the States. I’ve walked past Gloria Jeans on Hindley Street on many occasions and I’ve always had my eye on their New York cheesecake. Today, I lost all self control and bought a slice. The cheesecake…
Waffle’s Waffle & Coffee
I walk past Waffle’s Waffle and Coffee (WWC) every single morning on my way to work. I’ve been meaning to try this place for quite some time. Today was going to be different. I was going to stop waffling past this place and go inside and get me some waffle! WWC is located on trendy…
Falafel Stop
The Falafel Stop is a convenient place to “stop” after a night out of drinking on Gouger Street. Their specialty is falafels, but they also serve a range of fast food snacks such as yiros, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and even Middle Eastern sweets. Tonight, I ordered the Chocolate Covered Lady Finger. The Lady Finger…
