Cappuccino Chronicles - The Attic in Parkhurst

Yesterday, the hubby and I trying to wring every last bit of Sunday night out before starting out a fresh work week. As you know we love our little culinary adventures or as we call it " The Noms". Yesterday we popped into the crazy,eclectic bustle that is Fordsburg Square and walked about a bit but bought nothing. They have the a lot of the same thing.

 We then decided (okay , I decided that I wanted coffee and perhaps some sort of Dip-able -cake or dessert) . So almost on auto-pilot we reached Parkhurst and decided to give The Attic a shot.

We also both didn't bring our cellphones along so there are no pictures of the way the place looked on the night or our Noms. The kitchen was closed ( it was pretty late when we got there - maybe 10 o'clock) so we decided on :

Lindt Chocolate Mousse & Hazelnut Tart :
Kamal picked this - it had a great sharp, distinctive rich chocolate flavour and wasn't too"heavy". The base was perfect.


Spiced Carrot & Coconut Sponge with Pecans

- Super moist Carrot Cake - great taste - the icing was very nice but a bit sweet for me (and this is coming from me - Poster Child for Dessert)


Melon Green Tea - I didn't taste much melon but a nice refreshing Green Tea. The most fascinating thing is their "tea decanter contraption". So fancy pants and snazz.I'm not sure if it some sort of modern day gaiwan. Will be sure to take a picture the next we visit The Attic

Cappuccino - great taste but no foam art which was sad and the biscotti was so bleh - like cardboard.

Service was good and friendly, but shame you could tell they were tired after a super long day - would like to try it out again to taste the food.

I nabbed the pics off the JhbLive site.
