Espresso poured on top of frozen custard makes me a whole lot giddy =)
I came here with my wife and friends not knowing what to expect. I had never heard of affogatos so when my wife mentioned that they have frozen custard with espresso I thought it came on the side. I have to admit, when I got my affogato I was a little surprised and wasn't really looking forward to eating my now melting custard with creamy-sugary espresso (I like my espresso with no sugar, no cream).
I began to contemplate which I should start on. Should I sip the espresso while it's still relatively hot? Or should I start eating the custard while it's still in its frozen state? I opted for the frozen custard first and was quite pleased. I then sipped the espresso, which IMO was very well pulled.
It was around this time I realized to really enjoy this dessert, I have to eat it together. I mean, why else would they combine the two? Wow, what a delight that combined bite/sip was. The creamy rich flavour of the combination of custard and espresso was inspiring!
I've only been here once and am afraid of going back with my now high expecations. But this place has to be tried by all. Perhaps its not really Jedd's I loved, but more the affogato. So I'll give it 4/5 stars. But if I do dare to go back and enjoy their other offerings, I will be glad to upgrade that 4 to a 5.
