AU2010 - Koko Black

As reckoned by Nicolekiss, Koko Black serves the best ice chocolate in Australia!! So, as soon as we found out that there is a Koko Black salon in Canberra, we decided to check out their iced chocolate.

 

 

While most cafes and restaurants will hand you a menu, interestingly, Koko Black gives their customers a seasonal bulletin with an embedded menu. After browsing through it, we decided to try both their hot and cold beverages, before ending with a martini.

 

 

First was the Belgian Hot Chocolate, a freshly brewed chocolate using a traditional Belgian recipe blending full cream milk, cream and 54% dark chocolate.

 

 

Then came the Hazelnut version of the Belgian Hot Chocolate. (Note: In case you are interested, they also offer chilli, mocha and cinnamon flavours).

 

 

As for the cold beverages, we ordered their famous Iced Chocolate in both adult’s and kid’s sizes, hence the Iced Chocolate …

 

 

… and Baby Iced Chocolate, a special iced chocolate blend with vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate shavings.

 

 

We also ordered the Blood Orange Iced Chocolate, that was part of the Spring Indulgence menu, which is a cross between their famous Iced Chocolate and Blood Orange Sorbet.

 

 

Last but not least, came the Belgian Chocolate Mousse Martini, an intensely rich mousse recipe direct from Bruges in Belgium.

 

 

Unlike Nicolekiss’ bad experience whereby she wasn’t allowed to take photos of the inside of the shop, the waitress whom served us gladly allowed us to do so.

 

 

So, was the Iced Chocolate really the best in Australia? Yes and No. If it was summer, we would probably recommend the Iced Chocolate. But with the cool weather in Canberra, we actually prefer the hot chocolate more than the iced version.
