You can usually tell how good a place is by how full it is. When we visited Chocolate Bean tonight, we were fortunate enough to get a table. The venue is certainly small but from the decor and layout, I think it creates a charming, cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Tonight, I ordered the Peanut Butter…

Forget what you’ve previously heard about this place. Crema has recently changed hands and now has a new part owner and head chef, Leslie. Leslie is an Escoffier accredited chef, who has won numerous awards and titles, and has been a chef for the last 29 years. The focus at this place is to provide…
Spats Coffee Lounge
It is rumoured that the building where Spats is located used to be a brothel and offered guys (and some girls.. but mainly guys) a special type of “dessert”. These days, Spats offers “dessert” of the regular variety, as well as beverages, cocktails and meals. When Spats took over the brothel, they made minimal changes…
Steven Ter Horst Chocolatier – Unley Rd
When other stores source their products from this place, you know it’s good! Aiming for a sugar high, we ordered two desserts, a beverage and one of their hand made chocolates. For me, there were two highlights; the hot chocolate and the salted caramel tart. The hot chocolate was the best I’ve ever had. With…

One monk in particular, San Churro, believed chocolate had healing properties and brought joy to peoples lives. In Australia, San Churro is bringing joy to Australian lives with…
Astonish Patisserie
Astonish Patisserie is so close to home for me. It’s my one stop shop for late night sugar fixes. This little dessert place reminds me of someones home library, although the coffee table made out of old books needs a bit more thought. The atmosphere here was relaxing and the service was OK. For what appeared…
Onyx Dessert Lounge
After having dinner with a group of friends on O’Connell Street, we noticed this newly opened dessert lounge was located just across the road. There’s always room for dessert no matter how full you are, so this was a good enough excuse to pay this place a visit. The first thing I noticed about this…

On a street not known for it’s cafes, Adelaide’s newest eatery has just opened its doors. Public on Franklin is run by a husband and wife team and has been six months in the making. Located on the ground floor of a newly developed office block on Flinders Street, this store offers food with a…
Chocolate Taperia
I’m such a regular here, they recognise me when I walk into the store. Located on Melbourne Street, this cute little dessert store offers desserts with Spanish and Latin American influences. The staff were warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional. Tonight, I had the dessert platter. This consisted of Mini Gelato, Churros, Dark Chocolate Mousse,…
