But what I can say about this place is that the flavours that I have tried have been good. Not great, just good. I prefer the fruit flavours like lemon, mango and lychee. But on my last visit I gave the 96% sugar free chocolate a go. It was really good actually. Kind of heavier on the chocolate flavour as I guessed it would have been without the sugar. It was still sweet though. I wonder what they sub the sugar for? The layout of this store is pretty cool. Kind of American Ice cream Parlour influenced. There are a bunch of booths and tables inside you can sit at with friends. They also have street tables as well. Which is great for a hot day! The staff at this store are always lovely. Very friendly and happy to help and let you try flavours.

The cafe itself is tastefully decorated in red and brown tones. I particularly like the upholstered bench seating which is really comfortable. At the back of the shop you can see the staff making waffles, crepes and doughnuts so you know they are fresh. You can find the usual array of quality, Copenhagen ice cream flavours to take away. There is a specific dessert menu with more temptations than you could possibly ever want. The coffee is passable but not great. The toppings bar is the only thing they have got wrong here. If you are seated in the cafe you have a parade of kids in front of you playing about with the toppings making a noise and a mess. If it is a nice day there is also seating outside in the square which is a good option but it is quite a distance from the cafe itself.

Staff are used to a fast paced so the queue always moves quickly and those dining in for some fondue, shared mega sundaes or crepes will find their food and drinks coming out promptly. The dine in menu is varied and I love the shared sundaes where you can eat doughnuts and brownies and other chocolate bits in a massive bowl with a few friends (or yourself if you're having one of those days). Seating can be stretched so you'll want to save seats pretty quick smart. I'd recommend the waffles.

I think any ice cream that is 'home made' tastes that much better, even if it doesn't. To me this cold, sweet goodness was right on the money! Probably a good idea to head here if you're on a date as the way I figure it, ice cream + holding hands + crafty Hahndorf Stores = possible special friendly time sans clothing! Also, most punters should know this without me saying, beer DOES NOT go with Ice Cream! So unless you are on the tale end of a session the ice cream will make the beer taste pretty crappy and visa versa.......beer flavoured ice cream?

Kransky and ice cream. It's a winning combination and while there are a few places in Hahndorf that…read moresell both of these items, none do it as well as Ye Olde Ice Creamery. First thing is the kransky. Now this is Hahndorf, so you can't have a kransky without sauerkraut. I know the idea of pickled cabbage doesn't appear to everyone, but I'm sorry, it's not an option! With a bit of mustard on top you have a winning kransky dog. Eat it slowly and savour it. When I finish my kransky it's on to the icecream. Admittedly I don't get this every time, as there are so many other things to try in Hahndorf. Still, the selections are pretty decent and it seems that unlike me, this is the main reason people go here. You can get a kransky in Hahndorf quite easily. If you want a GOOD kransky then this is the place to go. Just don't forget the sauerkraut.

I'd seen these crazy concoctions, piled high with tasty added treats and I'd wanted to try...but I'm not sure that the price is right. These little beauties are charged on weight, and I reckon this place must be making a killing - you pay $2.8something per 100grams - which sure adds up fast. When I initially put my caramel frozen yoghurt - topped with a few caramel banana slices, some smarties and a wafer on the scale, I was surprised that I was getting towards a total sum of $6 - for a pretty small amount of stuff. It was a fun thing to do, but for $6 you can definitely get nicer icy treats in the Norwood area, so although it was yummy and 'different', the price really is a little off putting to me.

I think the name speaks for itself here. It's a bakery!! There's a bit more to it than that though…read more Daily Fresh not only stocks bread, but also a few Asian delicacies. There aren't many bakeries where you can buy prawn crackers, or spring rolls, are there? Well you can here. As well as that the home made pies have a distinctly Asian flavour. I've mentioned in other reviews that I'm a fan of satay. The satay pies in this place are really nice. Not as good as they could be, I think they need a bit more zing in the sauce (does that make sense?) but they're nice for something different. As this place is right next door to the pharmacy, it's a good place to visit while you wait for a prescription to be filled. Providing you're not so sick you can't eat... if that's the case then forget I said anything...

The fondue leaves a bit to be desired, I personally have had better elsewhere but it was still delicious. There is no such thing as bad chocolate! No doubt this venue will be packed out often especially in such a central venue. Well worth a visit though!

This place might have the title of a not-so-fancy Saturday night strip joint on Port Rd but instead…read moreit is cosy little cafe on Semaphore Rd that is a breakfast favourite for locals and Adelaide "tourists" alike. The place is decorated in a minimalist style, simple tables and chairs, some booths, couches, benches and basically anything that will fit more people in to this always packed brekkie and lunch cafe. If the 5m long menu board isn't overwhelming enough for your taste buds make sure you DO NOT LOOK at the food cabinet on the way up to making your order as it will just confuse you more. The first time I went here I was distracted by so many things on the menu that I went for the safe eggs and coriander on rye option. A bit disappointed at the cost versus size of the meal my experience was slightly tainted. But as I sipped on my Ginger Zinger drink that was like star anise and gingery lemon jesus juice in a cup I looked closer at the menu and at what people were eating. It seemed that their big pancake and their roti wraps are the way to go. Upon my return to give this place a second shot I ordered a vegetarian twist on a bacon and egg wrap and, despite a bucket load of sauce and a fair amount of oil, I was impressed. As Laura said though, aside from the Ginger Zinger, the other highlight here is the bowls of coffee they serve. Yes it is a bowl and it is filled with smooth, creamy coffee goodness for you to dip your whole face into. Also don't go past their gluten free desserts here! Their lemon curd cake is delicious.

HOW DID I NOT NOW ABOUT THIS CAFE UNTIL RECENTLY?…read more Sorry for the all caps tirade: but I'm just that excited. I visit sleepy Semaphore quite a lot, as the old parent-shaped people live that way, and it was only relatively recently that I stumbled across this haven of Scandinavian delights. And I'm not just talking about the cute mustachioed barista. Complementing the birch tree wall art and Viking paraphernalia (I'm a huge sucker for Viking paraphernalia) is a tasty menu of baked goodies that are fresh, sweet and plentiful - as well as Swedish-inspired specialties like elderflower drinks and traditional waffles. Any country that has a TRADITION of waffles is all right by me. They seem to be undergoing renovations at the moment, but the place is still very cute, with kitschy Swedish accessories, some chandelier action, as well as the aforementioned radical Viking stuff. There always seems to be a queue here which is also a good sign - and, super importantly, the coffee is solid. ALSO: THEY SERVE COFFEE IN A BOWL. A bowl, people. Further evidence that this is my kind of place.

Wow, what an odd little place! It is located amongst an industrial precinct in Lonsdale, and is an…read moreunexpected gem. We originally visited here as part of the Rendezvous markets, but that has unfortunately now closed. The upside is that Crossant D'Or Bakery has now decided to open every Saturday, which is great if you're looking for cheap pastries and coffee ;) My favourite is the almond croissant - full size for only $1!! That is not a typo - it's really $1. We also love the tray of 12 mini croissants (6 almond and 6 chocolate) for only $6, and a bonus is the good coffee (not sure if they stock soy milk - I had a very good long black). Croissant D'Or supplies cafes and the Central Markets, so is not really set up to be a stand-alone cafe - this is why the produce is so cheap, and why the seating is a bit daggy. It's a shame the Rendezvous Markets weren't sustainable, but I think this is because they concentrated more on the produce itself rather than the ambience ... and although this sounds shallow, ambience is a very important in making these sorts of markets popular. All in all, I think we will be frequenting Croissant D'Or quite regularly ... good for my wallet, but not necessarily for my waistline ;)

Who would've thunk it? A real life French patisserie in the middle of an industrial estate! Then…read moreagain, Croissant D'Or Bakery is more of a 'working bakery' than high-end patisserie cafe, with the majority of their product ending up at local eating establishments. And probably being sold on for some considerable mark-up. This is one of these hidden jewels of the south, where you can grab a delectably flaky almond pastry and creamy latte for a fraction of what it will cost you at one of your more fancy establishments. It's worth seeking out this place early on a Saturday morning if only to grab a $6 tray chock full of croissant-y goodies; plain, chocolate and almond. And of course, you need to get one to eat then and there as well! The only downfall of this place (besides it's slightly difficult to get to location), is the general atmos. As I mentioned before, this is a working bakery set on an industrial estate. There are seats outside, but they are few and far between. The view is of the surrounding warehouses, with some old cracked cement pots with a few token plants for greenery. The music is also of some questionable taste at time - you'll have a few charming Parisian cafe tunes, but then mysteriously Zamfir will suddenly bust some panpipe moves. You can't help but think that with a little more careful planning, some more care taken with the outside decor and keeping up with the oh-so-French-chic musique that this bakery could become a real trendy hit with the Southerners. However, until then, I will continue to go for the amazing pastries, great coffee and friendly service. It's worth the trip through the sea of industry, for the best croissants in town. (Probably the same one you've just bout for triple the price at your local cafe!)
