The strawberry cheesecake was so soft yet packed full of flavor. It was served with whipped cream and was topped with fresh strawberries and jelly. In terms of presentation, the piece of cake was well placed and was of good size for $6.50. The base of the cake was also not too thick either making it perfect for cutting using a desert fork. They also provided appropriate cutlery given the cake was to be shared between two people. This was without having to ask and was rather thoughtful. Staff were friendly and service was pleasing. Wait times weren't too long either even though there were quite a few people there. Their hot chocolate is good. It doesn't taste too watery like other coffee shops I have been too. Tucked away in the corner of the Woodcroft Plaza, this coffee shop is a gem that you definitely wouldn't want to miss.

Nice little cafe that is improving all the time. The first time I went was not so impressive - the…read moremenu was small, the staff were not as attentive and they did not charge the right amount at the end of the night. But now, the staff are great, the menu is diverse and the atmosphere is great. The cafe contains several photographs and paintings from Italy and Europe. This artwork certainly adds a lot of character to the place, as does the comfortable seating near the back of the restaurant. The first time I went, the menu was virtually all seafood. Now there are many other dinner options including pizzas and pasta. I haven't tried these new options yet but they certainly look great. One item that has my attention for my next visit is the Quattro Formmagi (four cheese pizza). They also now have a range of vegetarian pasta options too. Before their new menu, I tried their fish and chips. The chips were decent and fairly crispy with a salad that seemed reasonably fresh too. The fish was decent in size and had a nice thin batter. One thing was that there was not quite enough tartare sauce. I went for breakfast after they introduced their new menu and had their pancakes. For $8, they were quite impressive. They were very fluffy and were served with cream and maple syrup. The edge of the pancake is nice and crispy. I also tried a hot chocolate as well (on a different occasion not to get a sugar overload). The hot chocolate is made with chocolate syrup which does give it quite a rich flavour.

DeeDee's is an unassuming new cafe in Morphett Vale that does tasty food. The table setting was…read morenice, other decor was average, but that's not what I look for in a cafe. I had the Hashbrown Stack and was really impressed with the taste (although the bacon could have been crispier). Their hollandaise sauce was one of the best I've ever had. I also had a chocolate milkshake which was fantastic. My husband had the beef burger and was less impressed, there was no caramelisation on the patty and the bacon wasn't crispy. My daughter's open melt looked quite nice and the accompanying chips were good. A look at their Facebook page tells us that they make most of their baked goods in-house (the sausage rolls looked particularly tasty). I look forward to trying more of their menu.

I have gotten to the point where each weekend I crave their eggs florentine, or really want their smashed avo! Their coffee is unbelievable I recommend their "depth charge" coffee, absolutely delicious!

Go eat there, have coffee there you won't regret it!

But the Gooby Goose is a breath of fresh air! The coffee is so delicious that I'd consider bathing myself in it if they made large enough containers! Seriously, this place rivals my favourite over at Delicia O'Halloran Hill. The place is cute, the staff are friendly, and I'm yet to have a bad coffee there, highly recommend!

Finicky Fingers is a nice little coffee shop in the new Woodcroft Mall. Situated right at the…read moreentrance to the mall, this coffee shop is decked out with funky furniture, cool decorations and outdoor seating for the nicer summer months. I have ordered a iced chocolate twice from there. On both occasions, they came out perfectly presented with chocolate powder and whipped cream layered on top. Unlike other coffee shops, the iced chocolate didn't taste like it was made from cheap chocolate powder. It actually tasted like it was made with something much nicer. They also can use skim milk, which I find much nicer than the full cream variety. The little shop can get quite busy from time to time, however if you pick your timing nicely, it can be nice and quiet. It generally isn't too noisy in there too, which is always good for when you are having a conversation. They also have a nice range of cakes, sandwiches and croissants - the typical coffee shop offerings. I have my eye on a particular slice of cake they have on offer which I am interested in trying next time I am there. Pricing is on par with other establishments and the staff are good. The wait time is good too, but varies (as you would assume) depending on the number of people in the cafe.

I have been loving meals here at Boatshed Cafe, and upgraded to 5 stars accordingly ... all except…read moreone thing - the S L O W service! I'm afraid that a super-long wait for a fairly basic meal last Friday night has made me downgrade them slightly to 4 stars. I think what has happened is that they are super busy, but just don't have the staff to cope with the orders. The staff who are there are lovely - but they need at least one more in the kitchen, and another on the floor. Oh, and they obviously need a larger pizza oven! What worries me is that they have spent a lot of money on upgrading the verandah area, and have also renovated upstairs - how can they service these extra people??? PS - a very long wait for food with a grumpy 6 year old when the temperatures are soaring outside is not very fun :P

Growing up in the area the building has never been used to its full potential until now, previously having been a deli and empty for some time prior. The inside and deck area are at a super high standard reminding me of renovated pubs like the Hilton and Highway in style, clean and modern. Whilst the deck is closed it's dog friendly to our suprise! Now onto the food and drink... They weren't messing with us when it came to portion sizes with the large coffees being just that for once! Yes FINALLY! The burgers were fantastic and both under $15, though we were devastated we missed the breakfast deadline of 11.30. I had the quinoa and kindey bean burger and it was delicious, the service was great and I can't find fault on this place. Brilliant and worth a trip to the area for the adjoining nature walk as well

I was so astonished and mind-blown by the arrays of magnificent-looking choices I only bought a vanilla slice because my head was spinning. It was utterly wonderful, so the next day I went back, bought a gluten-free chocolate brownie because it was the only choccy brownie I saw, and a chocolate croissant. Snarfed the entire croissant that evening figuring the brownie would last better in the fridge. Today, after almost 24 hours and cold from its brown bag in the fridge, it's still got to be the chocolatiest, richest, tastiest brownie I've had in many a long year (& I'm a lot closer to 80 than the last time I had any shop-bought baked treat this wonderful.) Not much to say about the ambiance because such impressive baked goods outshone everything else, though the interior did seem as clean, bright and shiny as it should be and the service was cheerful, prompt and helpful especially given how busy they were in waves. I was also tickled to see the treats for littlies, from tiny rainbows with clouds at both ends, to unicorns to a Minion an adult fan I know would love. I do expect to get to try their meat pies as well, but again, haven't yet been able to make up my mind which to try first. This review is only "pretty epic" because the bakery is!
