1. I managed to stop by Ganache today. They have a new city store on Collins st, but more importantly I got to have a look at their iced chocolate. Wow.
I started drooling involuntarily as I watched them pour the melted chocolate over the top. Also tried a macaroon, fantastic flavour wise, but the texture was a little too gooey for my liking. Shocolate macaroon still wins. Bonus point to ganache staff for their excellent gluten free knowledge. (3 cakes and all the macaroons, plus almost all the chocolates.) earl grey chocolate is still a highlight, can't wait to try the tequila and chilli that i spotted.
2. St ali update
Disappointingly, St Ali has been out of cold drip the past two times I've been there, so today I had to settle for a siphon. Man, am I glad I did! Nicaraguan Cup of excellence = delicious!
also, they've just moved to their summer menu, and there are a few wonderful gluten-free goodies on there! Not as many delicious brekky options as before, but a million bonus points for the best salad I've had in a long time. I had it as a special a few months ago, and they've added it to the menu permanently. Best use of Quinoa in a commercial setting I've had.
Salmon, quinoa, beetroot, pickled sweet potato (sounds weird, delicious!), roast almonds, mint, parsely and labne.
Mmmmmm, signing off before I drown the keyboard in drool. My first focused cafe review to come later today, keep an eye out!
