It has been a successful year so far, the mochaccino reviewing business has survived the international economic crisis, bad mochas (thanks a lot mangawhai), ridicule from da h8rs, my own ignorance at how coffees actually work, Blogger's clog, and so on.
by far the best experience (including aptmosphere, music, staff coolness, best coffee company) BY FAR SO FAR has been Good One. its a pretty out of the way place, very unassuming from the outside. one time when greg and i went there they were playing fuckin SNOOP DOGG & DR DRE. it was by far the meanest soundtrack played at a coffee place.
i mean, i do know someone who works there but HONEST TO G man that does not affect my opinion.
the PERHAPS only downside to the goodone mocha is that its kinda small. but that does not matter, cause they are so god damn satisfying. as big nick said: "i wouldnt need antoher one cause that one was so satisfying" (not that it actually mattered cause we got a mocha, then a fucking MOCHA MILKSHAKE (future review to come, but lets just say it was amazing))
but here is a graph displaying my point:
Commendations go to Ripe for having some pretty cool ideas for a cafe. ive seen them doing promotions offering trades on coffees for your lemons, feijoas and other vegetables grown at home. And all their food is awesome.
BUT this year was not without controversy, Greggg and i have some major beef with people at cafes not offering marshmallows with the mochas. even when they are clearly on the bench. OBVIOUSLY if we are wanting a drink like a mocha, then we are OBVIOUSLY going to want some friggin marshmallows in it okay mate? and even worse is people asking if we want them IN IT or ON TOP. im not paying for two separate orders, one of a mocha, and another of marshmallows. just chuck em in please. yes.
this is probably the worst mochasceneo yet, and for that i apologise. but if youre looking for someone to blame, blame brento. it was all his idea. i just do what people tell me.
ehhh by the way. im down for people to start doing follow up reviews on the ones i have done. just let me know where you went and what the deal was and if it is up to the HIGH STANDARDS of writing that this thing is kept to, then i will put it up. yeah.
oooooh yeah, there is a thing up the top so you can 'like' us on facebook. fuck that was lame. sorry.
