We found this new dessert cafe in Prospect Rd, Adelaide though a friend. We were keen to try it as it sounded really good. Went to check them out of Facebook and the photos looked amazing. This dessert cafe is rather small and does not take any bookings so I suggest either coming early or calling beforehand to make sure seats are available.
We went there on a Saturday night just after dinner. The place wasn't packed so we were quite lucky to get a seat immediately. The menu is small and the dishes priced reasonably. After a few minutes of deliberation, we decided to try the smoked chocolate mousse, doughnut sundae & the malt milkshake. Most, if not all of the items were familiar desserts done with a twist, so expect to be wowed when the desserts come out.
The malt milkshake came first, in a very interesting glass milk bottle no less. It was sweet and malty. Imagine drinking maltesers without the chocolate. That's what it tasted like. It really enjoyed it.

Next up was my smoked chocolate mousse. It had a glass dome-shaped cloche when it arrived on the table to keep the smoke contained (yes there was smoke) while being carried to the table. Once the plate was placed in front of me, the cloche was remove. I was taken a back by the smokiness of the dish. Seriously, it was very smoky. The technique was quite effective as the smoke imparted it's flavor onto each component on the plate. It was a nice and clever dish but I wish the smoke flavor wasn't too strong.
Lastly, the doughnut sundae came. It was just that, doughnut and ice cream with chocolate sauce & honeycomb. This was a huge dessert and it took 2 of us to finish it. As we expected, it was a very sweet and filling dessert. Much heavier than the light chocolate mousse we had previously. It was a good dessert but you better make sure you are hungry and sugar-holic before you order this because four chocolate doughnuts, a scope of ice cream and honeycomb chunks aren't that easy to finish.

Overall, I enjoyed Devour Dessert Cafe in Prospect Rd. It is definitely worth going back to. Maybe not every weekend but certainly ever now and then.
