...absolutely!
At least so claimed the advertising on the windows. Enticed by the 'champion team of Barista’s including this years State Barista Champion Fiefy and runner up in the Latte Art Competition Mark', I walked into this dim lit chocolate house.
We settled for the lemon meringue, accompanied by a mug of hot chocolate, and a skim latte - to test out the talent of Bracegirdle's 'award winning' baristas.
The meringue tasted artificial, like something from a chain retail coffee place (not a good thing). The hot chocolate was rated highly, and the coffee again, average. Must be the SA beans/milk?
Feeling a little peckish after picking at the meringue, we went ahead and ordered the Chocolate Fondue for 2.
Wasn't too sure about the orange slices (with rind) and still a long way away from KoKo Black or Max Brenner, but this proved to be a popular choice, as banana and strawberry pieces were dipped and re-dipped before being rapidly consumed.Then again, chocolate is one of those things that takes great talent to wrong (even though lately I've been convinced about Adelaide chefs possessing such a rare talent).
