Our kids really like the hot chocolates, which come with marshmallows. My wife said her soy chai latte was very good. I was very happy with my flat whites. Although the sign on his cart says crepes, I don't think he is currently making those. If you come over the hill from Russell, this is your only option for coffee...or anything really. We are certainly fans.
