Viscous Coffee

I was excited when I saw this place on Unilocal Adelaide’s Instagram, and saw that it was south of the city — yaay! It’s in the unlikely location of Christies Beach (on the beach end of Beach Road), and since that’s only about 15 – 20 minutes from where we live, we thought we’d make the trip down.
Well, I wasn’t really expecting Viscous Coffee to be quite this good! The staff are very friendly, and the owner was impressively knowledgeable about coffee, (and the effects of coffee on the human body — I’m really going to have to try the dangerously high-​caffeine coffee, the Adelaide Ass Kicker, heh heh), as well as being excited about trying different blends of hot and cold drip coffee — what a maverick! I was sitting there making a mental list of all the coffees I will be trying there in the future :)
There are a few sweets that you can have with your coffee (few in number, but high in quality) — I especially recommend the HUGE melting moments, and Miss 8 loved her Oreo cheesecake-​type sweet.
Viscous Coffee doesn’t have traditional individual tables, but bench seating along the side and one single lounge chair. When we came here it was fairly quiet, so the bench seating was perfect — in busy periods it may be better to get takeaway and head off to the beach or nearby park.
I will definitely be coming here again … probably next weekend, in fact! :)

It is times like this when I find businesses like Viscous Café that I get upset. I get upset that I live so far away from it. There is definitely a coffee revolution going on in Adelaide. These are exciting times!
The first thing that caught my attention is that this barista knows what a magic is and has it on his menu. Tick! Then he also has a mean and handsome Slayer at his command to make your brew. Tick! Then a arrangement of cold drip coffees and different blends to choose from. Tick, tick! Again, why do I live so far away?
The owner here is so super friendly. Greeted me with a smile and was so very happy to have a chat about his business, produce and passion for all things Caffeine. He obviously has been experimenting with different techniques and has devised some highly potent caffeinated mixes that come with a health warning. Hahaha he has named it (quite appropriately) the Ass Kicker. Designed to keep you perky for a very long time.
What did I order? Magic of course! A larger one than usual, but I am not complaining at a cost of $ 5. Awesome! Taste was bang on and at the right temperature. Very easy to drink blend.
As for the rest of his lovely café, well he offers some lovely biscuits to pair with your coffee. I also hear rumour of a coffee slushy machine for the summer. How amazing will this be to walk along the beach with a cold brewed slushy coffee!
Love to meet people that are so passionate about what they do! Onya!
