    Koko Black looks to be a higher end coffee and chocolate shop. I didn't try their chocolate, but…read moredid come multiple times for their coffee. Drinks: - I would definitely recommend you try their Iced Coffee! It's pretty much ice cream, honey, slathered with espresso...a large cup of heaven. Can't forget that it's topped with chocolate shavings :) - I've also had their hot drinks - Soy Flat White (for non-Aussies, this is pretty much a latte w/ less milk and more espresso) Seating: - There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. If the cafe is closed, there is an area outside the door to queue.

    We went to Kokoblack yesterday and it hasn't changed at all in the last 4 years since we were there…read morelast. Everything about this chocolateir is 5 star: the ambience, the chocolate, the drinks and the service. I wish they had a Kokoblack in Seattle, Washington as they would make a killing. If someone is reading this, please open a Kokoblack franchise in the United States! I had the Iced chocolate which was perfection with the not too sweet chocolate and chocolate shavings on top. I also had two chocolates to go with my drink and it was amazing. I'm glad they serve you free chilled water and leave the bottle as you need it to help you enjoy all the chocolate. This is the place you go to for a first date or for dessert after going out to dinner in one of the many restaurants in Civic. Thank you for not changing Kokoblack and being the best dessert I've ever been to.

    This is one of the oldest, and also one of my favourite, cafes in Canberra…read more It seems like its been around forever; one of the original cafes located in the Garema Place arc (right next door to the much larger, but not as good, Gus's). The coffee is always really good; they have a huge selection of very good teas, and the food is great; whether breakfast and brunch (which I find myself here for more than anything else) or the great desserts. Insiders tip: if you like banana smoothies, try the Buzz. They've added two shots of espresso to it and I can't get enough of them. There's no better place to sit outside in Garema Place.

    Brunch is such a touchy subject with me: Cafe cruises are one of my favourite pastimes despite the…read moresheer number of average cafes that overwhelmingly outweigh the must-go-back brunch spots. I can't count the times I've had eggs over poached and roasted tomatoes that just tasted like, well, tomatoes and nothing else! Cafe Essen is nestled within Canberra's cafe hub - Garema Place in the city. There are four or five cafes in a row here, making it incredibly difficult to decide which one to go for. In my opinion, none of them are "stand out," as they all have similar menus and outdoor seating; and by outdoor seating I mean tables set within a commercial shopping mall strip. The server was really kind and very accommodating for my vegetarian requests. I ordered a big breakfast and swapped out the bacon for spinach, and a cappuccino to match. It was.. just... food. There was nothing spectacular or noteworthy in the flavours of the items and for around $18 a plate, I can't say the portions were particularly generous either. And the coffee was.. just .. coffee. Not delicious, but not undrinkable either. Standard brunch fare for too big a fare strikes again!
