When you get greeted with a huge smile and a warm welcome you forget that you just walked into a chocolate heaven.
But back to the chocolate heaven, there's chocolate everywhere! All I wanted was a Chai Latte and these guys delivered, it was actual chai too, not the mix it in type. No sugar needed so you could taste the various flavours and while I waited I perused the chocolate selection.
There's so much chocolate in here.
Just everywhere... The seating inside if wooden and cozy, there's also seating outside if you prefer. Since I only came in for a chai to go I didn't get to sample anything else.
But am now tempted to do the Bay walk just to revisit this place and try some hot chocolate...
Watch out for scavenging seagulls, their presence made known by bird droppings caked onto some of the outdoor tables which is unappetising to say the least. However, the service is excellent and the churros tasty, although not sure how one person could ever finish the Churros for one which is served with three large churros and dipping sauce with choices including dark, milk and white chocolate and Spanish caramel. $2 coffee is also available until 2pm.
This chain seems to be everywhere in Sydney these days, and this one on Campbell parade is a good spot to sit outside and indulge in a bit of people-watching plus there's also the view of the beach, which you could watch instead. The churros themselves and the chocolate they come with are a bit too sweet to taste authentic, but they're still good and tasty if you're in the mood for a nice heart attack-inducing snack. There's plenty besides churros if theyre not your thing, and there's a really cute 'tapas' plate that's got heaps of different bite-sized chocolatey things if you want to try a few things to dip in your hot chocolate (it's basically like fondue). We didn't try it this time, as being purists we felt the need to stick to the churros with dark chocolate, but some people on the next table were having it and loving it, and it looked like a really cute idea. So there was nothing really amazing or too exotic here, but a fun spot nevertheless.
San Churro at Bondie Beach is a little bit different than the other outlets. While the churros and drinks are as delicious as usual (never forget the churros with mixed chocolate dip!), this outlet provides outdoor seatings with magnificent outlooks of the beach and its great atmosphere -- which kind of explains why the indoor seatings are a little bit limited and is structured like a maze: they want people to get out and enjoy the view!
