A
new hip spot in Mons (opened April 6, 2018).
Located
at the trendy street of rue des Fripiers 13.
Went
there on May 31, 2018 for a brunch when I needed a ‘pick-me-up’ moment after
the Doudou madness.
From
the menu to the tile, it’s pretty instagramable.
The
place was lit, bright, simple and clean.
There
were a hipster-looking guy at the counter and also similar type of customer
(few others had take away lemonade which appeared so inviting and refreshing).
It’s
not so hard choosing what I wanted since there were not a lot of options.
Basically
it has exactly my daily breakfast menu. Smoothie, smoothie bowl and chia
pudding. You know those super hype eats which recently created by the so-called
health conscious group of people. For something that I have on daily basis at
home, the price was a bit expensive.
I
decided to have the Freakshake (now the hype had already gone, so far that I
know it’s the only place in Mons has this mashup drink).
Chose
a chocolate milkshake with brownie and salted butter caramel coulis.
For
the price of 9 EUR we actually get a drink, a cake with cream and sauce. Still,
for me.. it’s not cheap.
When
I got my order, it was bigger than I imagined.
It’s
gorgeous! Not too monstrous or scared me with sugar rush effect.
I
slowly deconstructed.. the drink and put the cake down in a wooden board.
Let
start with the drink. The edge of the mason jar seemed like it was painted with
thick dark chocolate paste. And it tasted so so good! Circling on the top was something
like cookie crumble that stick to the chocolate paint. Chocolate milkshake was
not to thick or slushy or milky. But it’s really foamy, which was nice. Brownie
was also good. It’s chewy and gooey. The highlight was.. the caramel au beurre salé! It hit me..
hard! Just right there I felt like my day had already brighten up and suddenly forgot
everything. It seriously sooo good that I nearly cried! I love caramel au
beurre salé and this one was spot on!
Bites
after bites I was so ecstatic licking my fork, trying to scrap things up. Didn’t
wanna miss even a drop of this goodness.
Then
I realized.. for the price I paid, it’s all worthed (payment only in cash or
via phone app).
Leaving
the place that midday I felt full and content.
