Guilty, as charged


OK. Yep, we did it again.  One would say perhaps, we are infatuated. Yet I prefer the term, loyal.
So with Adriano Zumbo’s café relocating to 114 Terry Street, Rozelle, it was obligatory that we detour on the way to the airport to drop Ken and Nao off, to pay a visit and make sure the macaroons still tasted heavenly and delish as they were at the previous location.  To be sure, to be sure.

G was happy to do some sampling, purchasing five straight up: no flavour-choosing-dilemma, no questions asked and upon paying, turning to his beloved and making it clear, that without a doubt, they were all for him. First up: Blueberry and Lavender.


Proceeding quietly in queue was Ken and Nao, slowly recovering from their eyes popping out of their head and jaws dropping to the concrete flooring. Two lattes and an array of flavours, chosen mainly from the bright colours and preferring not to examine closely what flavours might be contrived from such combinations.

Me next. Oh jeez, lucky these counter girls are patient and as indecisive as this customer. Based solely on the fact that I’d try the vanilla one previously, I was tempted into buying four and branching out a little. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? It would taste, not as good? It would still taste great no matter what and I’m sure between the four of us, there was a mouth that would be pleased to sample the remainder. So I settled for three. Ten minutes later. 


Barely stepping out onto the road again, into the afternoon sunlight- with our eyes now having to adjust to a lesser brightness, mind you- the bags were open and our gobs full of sugary goodness and eyes were once again rolling around, sending messages of total bliss to the brain.
Mmmm...gooey goodness of the Jaffa...
As unattractive as you may think they are, they are not that ugly once they hit the palate. Believe me.
The list of taste testing that was done that afternoon: Blueberry and Lavender, Mandarin, Lemon, Mocha, Jaffa and Vanilla.
Then we had lunch. Ha!
Zumbo's new cafe: 114 Terry Street, Rozelle.
