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…
Mother’s Crepe
Mother’s Crepe is found on a busy little corner on Grote Street. It shares its store with Chatime, which are both owned by the same franchisee. As the name suggests, they specialise in crepes with over a 100 to choose from. On top of that, they also sell smoothies and a range of ice cream,…
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…
From Scratch Patisserie
Every Friday morning from about 7am, the pop up patisserie From Scratch sets up their stall next to the super trendy Coffee Branch on Leigh Street. There’s no signage indicating who they are, but I’m pretty sure I was at the right place. Yummy pastries and hot coffee are a winning combination, particularly on a…
The Original Pancake Kitchen
With Adelaide being the small town that it is, there’s definitely a lack of places serving food at 2:30am on a Sunday morning. After a big night of drinking, and in desperate need for sustenance, a group of us decided to visit the Pancake Kitchen. Located in a side street just off Hindley Street, the…
San Churro – Rundle St
Nearly 500 years ago, chocolate was brought over to Spain from Central America. It was the monks who were entrusted to provide chocolate drinks to the aristocracy. 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…
Haigh’s Chocolates – Rundle Mall
Haigh’s is simply chocolate heaven. Just about anything with chocolate in it tastes great, but Haigh’s Chocolates are somewhat better. Not the best on a world scale, but definitely the best in Adelaide. The quality of the chocolate here is right up there, and the texture is better than all the local competitors. You feel like…
Royal Copenhagen – Glenelg
There’s nothing more cliche than the good old ice cream store down by the beach. Royal Copenhagen certainly has it’s place in this beachside suburb by serving up a delicious range of ice creams in their trademark waffle cones. With so much variety, the choice is difficult, but there’s nothing better than having something cold…
Gelatissimo – Gouger St
When I was in Italy, I basically had gelati everyday. While the gelati at Gelatissimo is different to what I had in Italy, it’s still ice cream and any ice cream is good! (except for salted ice cream.. seriously.. who puts salt in ice cream?) To thoroughly enjoy our dessert, we came here before dinner….
