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…
Sweety
After reading some reviews on this place, I was telling myself never to come here. Subconsciously, I did want to come here, as it’s a dessert bar that I’ve yet to review. So after dinner tonight, when one member of the group wanted Asian desserts, I decided we should go to Sweety. The dessert bar…
Breadtop – Grote St – Adelaide
Breadtop is an Asian bakery franchise with over 60 stores around the country. With 80 bread and pastry products and over 70 types of cakes on offer, there’s really something for everyone at this store. I really like the self serve purchasing concept that they have here, and how everything is baked fresh on the…
Buckingham Arms Hotel
Located outside the fringe of the city is the Buckingham Arms Hotel. I have been here several years ago for a coworkers service anniversary lunch. It wasn’t great back then and it still isn’t that great now. I guess they should get bonus points for consistency. The decor here is old. I wouldn’t be surprised…
Le Carpe Diem
Located on Grenfell Street, at the East Terrace end, is a new French creperie, Le Carpe Diem. Their food menu is basically made up of two main items, sweet crepes and savoury galettes. For those that are not familiar, galettes are flat round crusty cakes. The decor here is traditional Parisian style. The paintings, the…
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…
Chocolate Bean
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…
Crema on Jetty
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…
Assaggio Ristorante
Assaggio is my new favourite Italian restaurant in Adelaide. It’s just simply amazing! I can understand why this restaurant was voted the best Italian restaurant in 2012 and I’m mystified that I haven’t been here before. Located on King William Road, this small to medium restaurant offers your classic Italian dishes and seats around 40-50…
