A chocolate store and cafe that has somehow evaded my notice, they had a few nice breakfast items…read more I've grown rather used to complex (and pricey) Australian waffle dishes, but this one was just a waffle with chocolate sauce and ice cream. Having been offered the choice of milk or dark, I was quite gratified to have chosen the latter, as the waffle itself was quite sweet and contrasted well with the thick, rich sauce. I added a smoothie that tasted rather more like yogurt than banana (of its two main ingredients); the value of this is left to the reader but at least I was quite well nourished. Having not yet tried the hard chocolates, I suspect they might be worth a go.

I absolutely love chocolate, but I'm rather impartial towards Sweet Tempered Chocolateria. It's a…read morepleasantly small shop with some seating inside and a register in the middle. Employees were kinda-almost mildly friendly. Some chocolates were priced by kg, and some were priced per piece ($4 per). Plenty of choices in terms of sweets including turkish delights but limited coffee and food choices written on the board. The lady at the counter recommended the triple chocolate brownie for $4. Within the minute, a small plate was in front of us garnished with chocolate specks and whipped cream. The brownie was crumbly, on the lighter side, and a little dry but the reason for my rating is more so because of a personal bias as I prefer them to be moist, chewy, and rich. It's incredibly easy to satisfy my sweets cravings, but this brownie just didn't quite hit the spot as there was nothing phenomenal about its taste nor its consistency to write about. But if you're in need of a quick fix for your sweet tooth, Sweet Tempered Chocolateria isn't a bad choice.

Though the fit out and baristas are decidely hipster, it's a very laid back affair. The crowd is mixed with office workers, surfers, mums and bubs and tourists all seeking one thing - a decent coffee. These place is buzzing. All the standard coffee options are available and they have cold brew going. Coffee beans are also available to purchase. As far as I could see, they don't do food (but I could be wrong). It's wham, bam, thank you ma'am, let just pump those coffees out! Pricing is reasonable, mugs verge on 'Betty Blue' size and the coffee is definitely strong. I was there whilst one person brought back their coffee as the standard 3 shots in a large cup was too strong for her. Weakling! For the rest of us, 3 shots is just fine.

The restaurant if everything else is closed in the area go to Woolworths, grab something to eat and find somewhere to sit and enjoy the view. Ordered the food and drinks easily enough. The drinks were brought to the table and two of them promptly but accidentally spilt down my back. The waiter was very apologetic and promptly gave me two towels and offered complimentary drinks or a meal. We asked for both as two drinks had been spilt and I was unable to change my top or skirt which was now see through. The manager then came over and told me that 'accidents happen and it did not warrant a free meal, but coffee was a reasonable request'. So now I am irritated and wet so the food really needed to impress me. I had ordered the shrimp salad. Presentation was lovely, taste unfortunately bland and as it was served in a bucket not very practical. My husband had a chicken schnitzel which was over seasoned. The lamb gnocchi was more lamb than gnocchi. The steak sandwich was 'not my favourite sandwich ever'. I later spoke to the manager to tell her that what upset me more than anything was her telling me 'accidents happen'. She immediately went on the defensive and told me I should not speak like that to someone in the hospitality industry. Conclusion my value as a customer was worth $2.10 (business cost). You guessed it we won't be back.

I ordered the Organic Acai Berry Sorbet, which is visually very colorful and appealing. Although I loved the flavor combinations of the crunchy granola, seasonal fruit, and berry sorbet, I found the texture of the sorbet slightly too icy for the dish. I found myself trying to make the sorbet melt faster so that I could enjoy a smoother bite, but I also know the dish is named "sorbet" and not "smoothie bowl" for a reason. Regardless, I did enjoy the dish as a whole and my boyfriend loved his Toasted Muesli. As lunch time approached, I noticed that servers were marking all the tables on the balcony as "reserved". If you plan to come for the view, try to make a reservation in advance.
