Chai Latte Review: Demitri's Feast - 141 Swan St, Richmond 3121

Giasou Demetri giasou

Oh Demitri, you know those places that the second you walk in to, you say to yourself, "This place is going to be good!" Well Demitri, you had me at hello, the problem is, you lost me at goodbye.

A gorgeous milk that was faintly spicy, just didn’t quite cut it in the Chai stakes. Other than the milk, the other positive was the taste of spicy goodness that delayed leaving the palate until a few seconds after you had your sip; that could only be the lovely clove. That lasting aroma alone gave Demitri's Feast an additional +1 in my Chai rating.

Now, I know my cinnamon and the cinnamon used can make or break a Chai Latte, on this occasion though...it broke it. Cinnamon should taste sweet and delicate, the one I had was very flat, in fact I didn't even know it was present until half way through when I opened the cap and noticed a froth filled lid riddled with bad cinnamon dust.

My Chai rating:
6.5/10 (order a coffee instead. If the groans of my colleagues were anything to go by, the coffee was spectacular.)
