Muffin Break, Golden Grove

After visiting the Michel's Patisserie at Golden Grove Village last week Merkel returned to try another hot chocolate. He noticed that were a couple of extra places serving hot chocolate that he did not notice before. They were Donut King and Unruly Tabooli. Unruly Tabooli was closed on the Sunday he was there. Merkel chose to try an Iced Chocolate at the Muffin Break.

The hot chocolate was $4.60 for a large cup and the iced chocolate was $4.90. The iced chocolate came in tall white ceramic beaker. Other iced chocolates have usually been served in a tall glass which allows the drinker to admire the artistry of the construction of the drink. The drink was topped with ice cream, whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. It was chocolaty and not too sweet although a lot of the flavour seemed to come from the chocolate syrup.

    I just stumbled upon your blog and think that the reviews you do in search of a good hot chocolate are an excellent idea.

    I'm not that into hot drinks, but I would love to try some good iced chocolate in Adelaide. I don't think I have come across any (not that i try extensively, either). But did you havea fave place or two in mind for good iced chocolate. I wouldn't mind spending a bit extra either!

    PS. I'm not a big fan of icecubes in the drink, either!

    Thanks for reading Supriya

    Any of the Billy Baxter's seem to do a good iced chocolate. CIBO, Un Caffe and Michel Patisserie aren't bad either. If you want to stay away from the chains Scuzzi, C'Est Ci Bon and Duthy Street Deli are good. Duthy Street Deli has just had a renovation and looks pretty good. Check out my "Alphabetic List of Reviews" on the right to look up the reviews.
