The hottest food trends in Adelaide last year were dessert bars, burger joints and all things Mexican. This year, we’re seeing a lot of restaurants with Latin American influences. The Onyx Dessert Lounge (now Onnyx – note the 2 n’s) has revamped itself and introduced Brazilian food, which is a first for Adelaide. Now what’s…

Coffylosophy
Coffylosophy came highly recommended from a friend and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Just from the name alone you would expect them to make good coffee, however, it’s not all they do. They have a range of teas, hot chocolates, iced drinks, fruit smoothies, fresh juices, sweet and savoury crepes, an all day breakfast menu and…
Koko Black – Adelaide
Koko Black is to Melbourne, what Haighs is to Adelaide. After visiting one of their stores in Melbourne, I had already known they were coming to Adelaide and I had eagerly awaited their opening. The Adelaide store is located in Adelaide Arcade at the Rundle Mall entrance. There is a retail area at the front…
Bici Espresso e Pasticceria
I have previously read about this place and knew it was somewhere on Hutt Street, but it was never obvious to me exactly where it was. It was only one day when I was driving down towards South Terrace did I notice the big signage. The venue itself is modern and spacious with two counters…
Yankee Cafe
With the number of American fast food stores opening up around the city, South Australia is slowly becoming the next American state. Yankee Cafe is the latest to open it’s doors and is located literally metres away from Henley Beach. The cafe is tastefully decorated with patterned wallpaper and picture frames along the wall. The…
Gelatissimo – Rundle St
During mad March in Adelaide, the Rundle Street precinct is a buzz with people and shops try to capitalise on the influx of people that venture into the city. With the numerous dessert stores along the strip, Gelatissimo is strikingly busy, particularly on a warm night. It’s quick and it’s easy, and people order their…
La Vita Ristorante
I’ve driven past this place so many times and I always notice that their carpark is full. I took this as a good sign and it became one of my places to check out. The venue itself is deceptively large. From the street frontage, the place looks small, but when you walk into the place,…
The Market Bread Bar
Tucked away in the grocery and meat stalls of the Central Market is the Market Bread Bar. The stall is primarily a bakery although they do have a range of continental sweets to purchase. As with most stalls in the market, there’s no where to sit down so basically all their customers are take away….
Swedish Tarts – Semaphore
I’ve been to the Swedish Tarts store down at Henley Beach so I pretty much knew what to expect. Personally, I think the Semaphore store is in a much better location. It’s amongst the hustle and bustle of the busy Semaphore Road cafe precinct and the place itself is a bit larger. Like their other…
Michel’s Patisserie – Central Market
Michel’s Patisserie is franchise that specialises in sweets, savouries and coffee. The Central Market store is located inside Central Market Arcade, and is run by a friendly couple. Today, I ordered on of their Valentine’s day inspired Chocolate Cupcakes. The chocolate cake was soft and moist, while the chocolate icing was rich and decadent. The…
