Why do I come to IKEA? For the $1 hot dogs of course! If I’m waiting to pick someone up from the airport, or just on my way to Harbour Town, and I’m feeling really frugal, I’ll pop into IKEA for a couple of hot dogs.. nom nom! For me, IKEA is a place to…

Nic & Rocco – Grote St
A new hole in the wall patisserie has just opened up in the Central Markets. Started from the winners of My Kitchen Rules, it appears to be a franchise that will see many new stores open across the state. The desserts on offer didn’t look that great to me. I ordered the Triple Chocolate Dome…
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…
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,…
Elephant Walk Cafe
I hadn’t heard much about the Elephant Walk until tonight. It’s a cosy little dessert bar located on the busy Melbourne Street cafe strip. It doesn’t have great signage and is very dimly lit, making me wonder whether it was in fact open or not. The place consists of numerous small booths divided by bamboo…
Devour Dessert Bar
Devour was one of the first dessert bars, that I knew of, to pop up in Adelaide. The decor at this place is quite basic and left a bit to be desired. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about what was on offer. Tonight, I had the Bombe Alaska. The dessert was beautifully presented and I…
The Summit Mt. Lofty
What a journey the Mt Lofty hike is from Waterfall Gully! Certainly a trek, but what a better way to enjoy the halfway mark than with coffee and dessert at the top. After struggling in that last steep kilometre to the top, I rewarded myself by getting a Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffin. It was…
The Aviary Dessert Kitchen
I’ve been to this dessert place several times and I must say I quite like it. The first time I went there I wasn’t exactly sure where it was. The only signage was a sign on the window. Located on the Parade, this place reminds me of walking into a little doll house. The place…
Chocolatree
Chocolatree. A tree made from chocolate? Yes please! Located on O’Connell Street, this store is a great place to contract type two diabetes. With seating at the front and back, the store offers a wide range of desserts from chocolates, cakes, mousses and sundaes. The staff were friendly and pleasant, and the desserts were brought…
German Cake Shop
It wouldn’t be a proper trip in Hahndorf without visiting the German Cake Shop towards the end of the day. You only need to come to this store to experience one thing, the Bee Sting cake. The Bee Sting cake is amazing! The cake itself is light and sweet, while the honey, almond and caramel…
