Red Lime Shack

Very rarely do I venture out to the Port for a meal, let alone a vegan cafe. To me, Port Adelaide is like a ghost town where a lot of buildings with historical significance sit empty. The area just doesn’t have the vibrancy that you associate with other popular cafe strips around the city. However,…

Donut King – Harbour Town

Donut King has been fattening the population since 1981 and has over 320 stores across the country. Over that time, people’s tastes have evolved, and so has their menu. They now have a wider range of snack options which includes healthy smoothies and low fat ice cream and milkshakes. They also have fruit freezes and…

The Cheesecake Shop – Torrensville

The Cheesecake Shop was first franchised 21 years ago with over 200 stores opened within their first five years. These days, there’s a store in every state of Australia and New Zealand, with new expansions into the United Kingdom and Poland. The Torrensville store is situated on a nice corner position amongst other shops and…

Cotto Espresso – Hyde Park

The newest kid on the block on the coffee bar scene is Cotto Espresso. It’s not their first store in Adelaide with the original Cotto store opening in Woodville eight years ago. Since then the owners have teamed up with the former chief executive of Cibo to take the brand to the next level. This…

Orange Spot Bakery

Orange Spot Bakery are located towards the end of Anzac Highway in Glenelg. Known for their award winning pasties, this bakery is incredibly popular. While I was there, most of the seats were taken and there was a line 10 people deep. With more awards than a Hollywood film festival, you can be sure that they’re doing…

Lezizz

We’re quite fortunate to live in such a multicultural society. We have access to so many different cuisines without having to fly anywhere. Lezizz is located just outside the city fringe on Glen Osmond Road and specialises in Kurdish and Persian cuisine. Their menu offers lamb and chicken kababs which are readily available elsewhere, but…

Whipped Bake Bar Cafe

I have a dear friend who works till the early hours of the morning and lives by the beach. When we catch up for lunch, it’s her first meal of the day and she usually wants something a bit light. Knowing this, I pick a place that serves an all day breakfast, as well as…

The Rolling Pin – Semaphore

I’ve read good things about The Rolling Pin out in Magill, but I’ve never had the chance to drive out there to check it out. Thanks to their success, they’ve opened two new stores out in the western suburbs, one in Semaphore and the other in Port Adelaide. The Semaphore store is located right in…

Sheesha Lounge Plus

Sheesha lounges seem to be all the rage these days with new establishments popping up all over the state. Hindley Street is really where it all started with several places offering the flavoured water pipes. While the toxic substances from sheesha are masked with more pleasant flavours, this particular past time, which is quite popular…

Krispy Kreme – West Croydon

For so many years, the people of Adelaide have been deprived of Krispy Kreme donuts. The most common way they were brought into the state was by purchasing them at an eastern state airport. It was only earlier this week that the first of four Krispy Kreme donut stores opened in Adelaide. For four consecutive…
