I have a problem.
OK, I have several (shut up at the back!) but one that I actively try and manage is my caffeine intake. As such, visiting a cafe anytime after about 4pm means I'm looking at decaf options (which always seem to defeat the purpose) or some other non-caffeine based drink.
We were here for the Yelp Book Club (check it out if you haven't!) and so I knew I'd need some form of beverage as we'd be there for a while and there was talking involved and, for those who know me, I am very shy and quiet so need a beverage to help me overcome those fears... (again, shut up at the back!).
I hadn't been in Bennu before but I know now why I'll go back - no, not just for Book Club - thanks to a wonderful rich, decadent and delicious hot chocolate I had... or two! Thick and creamy hot chocolate with, of course, whipped cream and marshmallows gave me just the sugary kick I needed!
Actually the main reason I'll go back is to sample the cakes which I omitted to try last time, it'd be rude not to after all!
Add in reasonable prices, a nice quirky interior - we had the upstairs space which has just enough clearance for me to stand up in, and had a nice mix of sofas, stools and blue dogs with large ears (check out Rob K's feed for a pic!) - and a very accomodating and friendly manager/owner and you have a great little space to support as a local business.
It's a little out of the way for me but if I'm in the area, this little cracker will be high on the list of options for a visit. read more
