Guylian Cafe (2) - The Rocks

Guylian Cafe was visited by my partner and I one evening. We thought we'd so something different so we parked at Milson's Point and then walked the bridge over to the Rocks (parking for 2 hrs = $12).

After a long leisurely stroll, we ended up at Guylian Cafe for a coffee. But ofcourse, with the option of a dark chocolate shake, why settle for just coffee? The dark chocolate shake a nice, soothing sweet drink for the night. However, because I'm a big fan of thick shakes and not milk shakes, and because the drink wasn't as dark chocolatey as I would have liked, this drink didn't quite hit the spot. Better than nothing though.

My partner just ordered a large latte. Pretty small for a large - thought I. But it did have a nice heart-shaped coffee art on it. The coffee was strong enough, but I don't know - compared to Melbourne coffees, all coffees in Sydney seem watery and less smooth. This one also had a slightly wierd bitter aftertaste. Hmmm... So I guess coffee in Melbourne tastes awesome, but lacks coffee art whereas Sydney coffees tend to look better, yet lack the awesome coffee factor.

Well - I'm not even going to put the prices of these drinks on because 1) I've forgotton the price 2) it's definately not as cheap as the price they advertise on their website 3) I remember that the prices were quite a bit expense compared to what they are worth. To top it all off - by the time we left, we decided to cab it back to Milson's Point. So the moral of the story? Don't park your car on the other side of Sydney when it's late at night! :)

definitely agree about coffee that u said..."coffee in Melbourne tastes awesome, but lacks coffee art whereas Sydney coffees tend to look better, yet lack the awesome coffee factor." BTW, i prefer the better taste one since the non-latte art can seem like abstract :D
