13.01.2022 HENLEY SQUARE COFFEE REVIEW, ADELAIDE: There are so many AMAZING cafes on offer in Adelaide. Below is a review of 3 places in Henley Square... all great coffee and equally friendly staff, but different experiences! ACACIA: #1 for COFFEE. Definitely the ones most passionate about their coffee. Making coffee was certainly an artform for this barista. Great menu with a few sweet treats. Downside was the small area and lay out of the dine-in experience. It was a little focused o...n watching the counter service rather than engaging with your company. Mind you, watching the passion of the staff as they talked about food and drink plans was great. SWEDISH TARTS: #2 for COFFEE. Great trendy indoor atmosphere! Wide variety of meals and sweet treats to choose from. MALOBO: #3 for COFFEE but not behind by far. Best outdoor atmosphere and view of Henley Beach. Great indoor atmosphere too! Impressive menu and lots of sweet treats to choose from. #coffee #coffeelover #henleybeach #adelaide #cafe #foodie #aussiefoodtrekkers See more
