So in the past I've expressed nothing but head shakes at this fad of obsessive and over indulgent milkshakes... but yet the foodie in me still finds it's way out and I still feel obliged to give some of the more well known ones a visit. XS Espresso is located in Wetherill Park where I grew up, so I was more than excited to head back out west to see how the area has developed.
The first thing that comes to mind about Wetherill Park would be their new Stocklands... XS Espresso is not located there. For some reason I just assumed any new and happening cafe would be there. It's actually located slightly north where the RTA and Officeworks is (or you can check the GPS like I should have).
We sat down and all I wanted to try was their Volcano - an epic collection of Nutella, Coconut, Oreo, Ice Cream topped with a warm Chocolate Souffle. Damn! My body shivered at the thoughts of diabetes as I paypaled the payment.
You get exactly what you order... a Souffle on top of a Milkshake. Literally sugar on sugar. We all take a moment to satisfy our Instagram urges and then it was time to dig in.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I was definitely defeated by the milkshake.... leaving around half a souffle drowning at the base of the glass container.
Despite my disapproval of this new craze of injecting Nutella into every dessert orifice, you can at least be assured at $14 you're still getting value for money. Essentially a dessert and a drink in one. A comment needed to be made about the service of this place as it's a bit on the slack end... and it wasn't even jam packed with customers.
No doubt someone on your social network has uploaded photos of this place and for good reason... by far the best I've had...
