Blefari, Iced

Blefari is proving a popular café on Victoria Square. Its good location and popular selection of meals and snacks seems to be a winning combination. Merkel tried the iced chocolate there recently. It came in a big glass and was topped with a couple of small scoops of creamy ice cream and a sprinkle of chocolate powder. The drink was clearly more chocolaty at the bottom and more milky at the top creating a layered view through the glass. The chocolate was not too sweet and made for a refreshing drink. The cost was $4.50.

Earlier Merkel had a hot chocolate which was particularly photogenic because of the fern leaf design on the froth. Blefari do not consistently attempt this artwork but it is a nice touch when it happens.
