Devour Cafe Patisserie

Good service and very quiet location.

Returning back here on the 29.04.16 for dessert night, our group arrived about 630pm before opening time at 7pm and we got the big table. It was great we didn’t have to line up outside and the placed filled up quickly. By 7pm, the late comers had to wait outside in line while we enjoyed our desserts.
This time, the café had a few seats outside for their potential customers whom were happy to wait outside and the waitress quickly took our dessert orders.
I ordered the honeycomb thickshake, very smooth and sweet, full of ice cream, the only thing was missing were the bits and pieces of honeycomb.
I ended up choosing the ‘Banana Cake, banana sponge, white chocolate mousse, caramel banana ice cream, toffee popcorn, popcorn powder, and popcorn ice cream. What came out was a well presented dish, there was only one scoop of ice cream, it was the caramel banana ice cream, it was delicious. I don’t know what happened to the popcorn ice cream, unless it was a typo on the menu.
The banana cake and sponge was absolutely devine and blended well with the toffee popcorn. There were bits of popcorn powder around the plate, it was very decorative on the plate. There wasn’t any white chocolate mousse however it was replaced by caramelised banana, which added a different texture to the plate. I loved this. Yummy! Thumbs up!
I can’t wait for the next opening and see what creative desserts they have. If only I had room for 2 desserts, or I hope one day they make a tasting platter with smaller desserts.
Overall, thumbs up!

A harsh but deserved review. I took a friend here after he was an absolute champion and drove me about town while my car was being serviced. As we had to be up early i promised him coffee and thought; where else would we go but the new and very fashionable Devour café?
We got there at 7.45 so it had only been open 45 minutes and was very quiet. I loved the paper menus and push bike hanging off the wall and the fact that there are bottles of water on each table was a definite plus. After ordering our very reasonably priced coffees we sat down to wait for our very much needed caffeine hit… and wait… and wait. As I said we were there very early and the place only had another couple of people who were also waiting for their coffees and looking around with the anxious, needy look that one has when one needs a coffee first thing in the morning and is terrified they’ve been forgotten. After 23 minutes (yes i timed it) our coffees came out. I would love to say they were worth the wait but they definitely weren’t, mine was bitter and so strong I had to add sugar (which I never add) and my friend who practically inhales coffee, left his half empty. In the end we both decided that a McCafe coffee would be not only quicker but also tastier.

Had the cauliflower fritters and an delicious iced tea here– best breakfast so far in Adelaide!

I found this little gem by accident when I popped into Aura Hair & Body for a bit of beautifying (who are great by the way) and noticed this funky little café & patisserie. It was late so I made a mental note to return for brunch. And return I did!
Having just moved houses, this was literally down the road for me so it ticked my box for location!
I love the décor of this place, it was a trendy inviting café hidden away in a quiet suburban street. The West Torrens library is just down the road so if you have the luxury of some free time, borrow a book (remember the good ol days?) and sit down for a nice brunch or dessert and some decent coffee to really unwind.

Suburban café hidden on a side street off a main road? Check.
All day breakfasts? Check.
Chef with a dessert loving fangirl population spanning most of Adelaide? Check.
This is Chef Quang’s new venture after he shut the doors to his Devour Dessert Bar in July earlier this year and it’s starting to make me wonder why he didn’t explore savoury any earlier in his career!
Now any chocoholic out there knows how good Devour’s desserts are smokin’ but trust me when I say that his breakfast menu is one to make you swoon. From bircher muesli to a multitude of eggy delights there is something to suit every brunch muncher. Don’t forget to check the specials of the day either!
My dining companions excitedly devoured corn fritters with salsa, baked eggs and a steak sandwich but I knew I had won the food envy stakes that day with my poached eggs on rye with smashed avo, mushrooms and pesto dressing. Eggs were perfectly cooked and everything was fresh and filling with the perfect bread to egg-​goo ratio.
Coffee lovers will find 5 Senses here and cold drip, filter and more if you fancy.
Service is incredibly quick and direct to your table and the atmosphere is light and not too busy (yet).
And for all those dessert fangirls out there don’t worry, these guys are now shutting at their café at 4pm everyday and re-​opening as a dessert bar from 6pm every night.

After such an incredible meal elsewhere we were itching for a good coffee and something sweet.
Devour was just a hop, skip and a jump and I was excited to try some of their desserts since they have moved that from their old Prospect address.
There wasn’t much of a selection left in the glass cabinet and nothing seemed appealing on their desserts menu.
The coffee was pretty good. However, I have nothing good to say about the sweet treats we bought to accompany the coffee.
The salted caramel and chocolate tart was all tart and hardly any caramel. Also the flour in the tart tasted burnt yet undercooked and left my mouth with that chalky feeling and that you’d choke on the loose crumbs of the tart.
We also bought some raspberry square dessert of some sort. The cachous on it wore soft and swollen (due to too much moisture) and the glaze on the outside had a lot of condensation over it. The filling above the base was nice enough. However the base was very odd. It tasted like a soggy LCM bar (you know the rice bubble bars).
I left this place deflated and just wish my experience was up there with all the other good reviews, but it wasn’t.

Amazing. All the desserts are just amazing!
I am still trying to work out how they get the popcorn milkshake to taste exactly like buttered popcorn! The honeycomb and malteaser ones are pretty good too.
But I am in love with the chocolate panna cotta with peanut butter ice cream *drool*

absolutely perfect hidden gem! Huge portions and beautiful atmosphere! Birchers muesli is phenomenal!

This place, this place is perfect. I wouldn’t know where to start?!
* Seating arrangements was spot on, not crowd at all.
* Noise level, what noise? Perfect.
* Menu had a great and cheap selection of breakfast, brunch, lunch and drinks to choose from!
* Service also spot on and quick with meals (took longer to actually decided what I wanted, so many yummy choices!)
* Portion size is massive and fulling!
The only seriously thing I can complain about Devour Café & Patisserie that it isn’t closer to home, it actually a 45 minute drive for me but as a Unilocaler it’s amazing enough for me to go the mile to eat this amazing food! I ordered the Eggs Benedict and a hot chocolate and it was a perfect brunch.
Happy to leave Devour Café & Patisserie with my stomach smiling. Love it, keep up the amazing work as I’ll be returning very soon!
Shout out to Sarah A for finding this amazing café, mwah!

After experiencing Devour Dessert Bar at Prospect, I was so damn excited to see they had opened a Café!
All my expectations were high and were all exceeded much to my likings! This cute place is just a short ride away from beach and city and packs an absolute treat for brunch! I have to give Devour 5 stars because, I’m a damn good bruncher and I’m always looking for the perfect spot to brunch away!
Firstly, this café is the perfect size — not to big or small, just the right amount of seating and room to not feel over-​crowded, but certainly a warm kinda cozy!
The breakfast menu was thoroughly thought out and the variety of choices will seriously get your taste buds going! I tried the zucchini fritters, poached eggs with an avo salsa. and it was bloody brilliant! The taste was sensational, so many flavours, so much colour. and to top it off the serving size was H U G E! I didn’t even get to finish it (*insert sad face emoticon here). The price was reasonable at approx $ 15. Oh, and did I forgot to mention the soy hot chocolate was to die for? Extra large mug. Extra delicious flavour and texture.
The guys behind the counter were super friendly and the wait was nadaaaaa. what wait? We had to talk for an hour after the food came out because we were served straight away — love it! (:
I’m yet to try the coffee, but believe me when I say, I’ll be back! This place was beautiful! Ranking #1 at the moment for places to brunch in Adelaide. Thanks Devour!
P. S. Shout out to Chloe who I know will absolutely lurrrrrve this place.

Lovely little café in the ‘burbs, just a short distance from Mile End shops, so worth a visit if you are in the area. I found this place by using the Unilocal Map, and after reading fellow Unilocaler, Norm’s review (who happens to be live in the area), we ventured there for brunch and we were so happy we did.
Devour has been open about 3.5 months (I asked) and they’ve got a good formula — reasonably priced menu (with some interesting stuff on the menu and the usual suspects) + very good coffee (5 Senses, same coffee beans as Paddy’s Lantern!) + spacious + friendly service. Portions ranged from reasonable to generous. My husband (who has a healthy appetite), almost couldn’t finish his baked eggs, which he said was a delicious, hearty dish. Perfect for a cold, winter morning.
For the sweet-​toothed, elegant looking tartlets ($ 5.50, e.g. lemon meringue, salted caramel), very interesting house made donuts (maple glazed with crispy bacon anyone?), macarons and milk/​thick shakes are available.
The café is very spacious, so it’s great for families with prams and I spotted two high chairs. The guys running the place we friendly and welcoming. EFTPOS facilities are now available.

Very pleased this has opened up within walking distance of our house! Typical sort of trendy décor, plenty of space etc. Been there twice now — once for breakfast with the husband and once for brunch with the girls. Had the bircher the first time, really enjoyed it but I did send it back when it first came out (it came out swimming in a moat of milk. I don’t like milk — the waitress seemed a bit nonplussed, lol) but once it came out milkless it was great. Husband had an amazing breakfast with pickled onions, eggs, corn, chorizo etc. Wasn’t on the menu the next time I went back though :-(Only downside was that they don’t take eftpos and there wasn’t a sign saying cash only etc. so my husband had to go for a relatively long walk to the supermarket ATM. Would have thought they could have put a sign up.
Second time was good too, had eggs and avocado smash, very nice. Took a cake and macaron home to try too. It was quite full the second time we went so hopefully it sticks around!

Another great venture from the guys at Devour. Their new café is nicely layed out with a relaxed feel.
As always their coffee is amazing and one of the best you will get around Adelaide.
Tried the banana layered cake along with the lemon tart. Both of them tasted great with nice textures that make you want to go back for more.
Check it out if your in the Richmond area and if not then it is well worth the drive.

My caffeine addiction has been fed many a time over the last month at Devour.
Since discovering that they do a brilliant soy latte, this café walking distance from my house has been a regular detour on my way. anywhere.
I have taken a number of friends here, and their non-​soy coffees are also really good too! There are a number of cakes and gorgeous looking desserts to accompany your coffee.
The breakfast I have had here twice, and both times the food and the customer service were excellent. The price here is really good too, ranging from around $ 10-​$ 18. I got the smashed avocado and they kindly replaced the eggs with extra vegetables like tomatoes and mushrooms. I love when places offer to add on extra when you remove something!
My partner got a mousse cake which he really loved, and a honeycomb milkshake which he also rated.
Added bonus here is that you have the option of a soy milkshake!
I would definitely recommend giving this place a visit, it’s in the burbs but venture in and you won’t regret it.
