Going Loca for ChocoLoco

My suburb, Newtown, is full of fantastic restaurants, cafés, boutiques and bars.

One new addition to the family is ChocoLoco - a chocolate cafe that offers an impressive range of desserts, sweets, gifts, coffees and other drinks.

I've become a regular here, ever since my first time venturing into these uncharted waters. 

As soon as I arrived, I was greeted with a welcoming 'Hello, may I please help you?' by a friendly and polite member of staff.

I'm a huge fan of chocolate and peanut butter. That's a match made in heaven if ever I've tasted one.

So I was a little disappointed that it wasn't on their menu (I was prepared to go up the road to Max Brennar instead), when she suggested I customize a milkshake. 

Customize a milkshake? You betcha! They just whipped one together for me on the spot.

Plus, the whole place has a refreshing modern cafe vibe. Chocolate themed and coloured with an LED chandelier is bound to go down well!

And then they went above and beyond by coming over to my table about a minute after I started my milkshake and topped it up with more of my custom-made drink. Sold.

Yep, Max Brennar and Chocolateria San Churro are great, albeit pricey. I reckon it's worth giving this place a shot. It's a worthy contestant in its own right.

Glick's!

Until you've been there and tried something from their extensive range of Bagels, Pastries or Challah, you can't quite appreciate how good it is.

I can't vouch for any of the other Glick's stores since I've only been to the one in Bondi. But if that's anything to go off, then I'm sure the others are fantastic too.

As soon as you walk in, it's wall-to-wall bagels and baked goods, with a modern polished wooden interior. 

I ordered:

- Two Chocolate 'Danishes' - this one stole my affections from the first bite

- A Twisted Doughnut 

- An Apple and Jam-filled pastry

If you asked me, "What would you give it out of 10?" I'd reply, "It's an easy 1,000,000,000 and screw your system".

The Bakery also sells a fine selection of Kosher and imported Israeli wines - which went down a treat at a Passover Dinner I attended a few days later.

Glick's has become quite the institution, being one of Sydney's only - and biggest - Kosher bakeries. The Bakery comes complete with a largely Jewish clientèle, including several Rabbis.
