Coco et Olive is the opposite: every time I go, they just reinforce how good they are. Highly recommended!

I've sampled their Olive Oil and Orange Cake and Almond Croissant Bread Pudding. I'm seriously surprised by how good both desserts were. The staff were also quite friendly, and the prices were reasonable. I'd highly recommend people to check this place out. They do jazz up some of their desserts with accompaniments like whipped cream and sauce, so it's probably better to have their food at the cafe instead of takeaway) if possible.<br/ <br/ Olive Oil Orange Cake $5.25)<br/ 4/5*<br/ *The cake was meant to be served with whipped cream and lemon curd, but because I had it to-go, I had to forgo the accompaniments. Even without them however, the cake was still delicious. It was incredibly moist and tender, and had a great fragrance from the citrus. I do wish that they did not include the rosemary garnish: I made the mistake of tasting one and it was very bitter and unpleasant.<br/ <br/ Almond Croissant Bread Pudding $5)<br/ 4/5<br/ This is actually the first bread pudding that I really enjoyed. It was very moist, with a nice butteriness from the croissant. It was coated in a layer of caramel/toffee sauce, that provided a great sweetness and flavour. The toasted almonds on top lent a really nice fragrance as well as texture.

It was the best chocolate cake I've ever had and I would always tell everyone about it. Plus, it was flourless so it felt a bit guilt-free (even though it probably wasn't).
