My friend visited Adelaide, and being foodies and all, plus the fact that I wanted to experience death by caffeine, lead to us going on a grand adventure of all things tasty.

Friday was super epic and involved trying to consume as many coffees as possible, so here was my list for the day, assuming one filter has more caffeine than espresso and therefore is more than “one coffee”:

Exchange Specialty Coffee: 1.5 filters

Please Say Please: 1 espresso

Coffee Branch: 1 espresso

Little Seeds Pop Up: 1 espresso

Argo on the Square: 1 piccolo

Hey Jupiter: 1 flat white

Total count in 1 day: approx 7 coffees! Woohoo!

We had an awesome moment of cronut jenga and kind of spilt sugar everywhere when our tower fell (twice!) but it was so fun, and the fallen cronut was still within the 3 second rule PLUS it ended up on my umbrella so it was still good. Very tasty, loved the texture because donut dough is too heavy, so croissant dough to make donuts is genius!

Argo on the Square, macchiato and piccolo. I didn’t expect the piccolo to be in a cup with handle, as I thought they all came in mini latte glasses.

Hey Jupiter, a somewhat popular cafe, so we ordered some food including a flat white that was served on doilies, plus cauliflower soup.

Apothecary 1878. I love this place and have plenty of pictures of it already. I had my good ol’ 75mL’ers with my regular choices of olives, prosciutto, goat curd on toast, salmon and lamb backstrap.

Clever Little Tailor is an interesting little bar and freaked me out because they only had a wine list and 3 food options; to order cocktails they said to just ask! So I freaked out and have figured I am not posh enough to come here again :)

East End Providore and its awesome pate. On toast. Pate addiction. Nuff said. YUM.

Proof, my new favourite hangout, complete with super dapper waiters. They have an AMAZING “Ruby Root” cocktail which is all kinds of earthy with lemon as it has beetroot in it. Their house pickles are super gorgeous and tasty, though it was a little bit too peppery. And who could resist LOBSTER BUN WITH KEWPIE. Not only that, they do TOASTIES. Not just any kind of toasties either – one is a morcilla and hen’s egg toastie! Why is everything here so tasty that I end up using the same words again and again!!! This is a godly place, and now I have to come back all the time to sample their chocolate desserts which are unmatched; I can now never have chocolate desserts from anywhere else :(, so much so that I almost cried eating chocolate mousse from a popular chocolate bar and finding it not good enough. I must become a regular! THEY CAN TAKE ALL OF MY MONIES.

Now I also have to go to Press* as they have beef tartare. And because the waiters said that Press* has more chocolate desserts. Not having been there yet is driving me crazy and making me cry.

I love Adelaide!
