The Pod Cafe - Ascot

I had like lunch at Vanilla Pod. I didn't want a big meal so decided on the beetroot, goats cheese and pecan tart with salad. It was just over $20. It was really expensive for a small cafe with counter service. Both the tart and the coffee that followed tasted good but it is definitely an occasional lunch at these prices.

I love vanilla pod. They've got some fantastic milkshakes and smoothies and great coffee too. They've got some fantastic little packaged foods at the back too which make for perfect gifts- we alway grab some to make a hamper for any gifts we do. The cakes and savouries are brilliant. We are in love with their little cupcakes. So fluffy and good icing. We often get cakes made for events too which are some of the best we've ever had. You certainly do pay, but given the product and the location, it's worth it. Would recommend any day of the week. Fantastic service also.

If somebody ever asked me what kind of cake I want for my birthday (hint: please someone buy me a birthday cake one year), I wouldn't even hesitate before

Collected a friend from the airport and popped in here to wait for a second friend's arrival.

Easily the best hot chocolate I have tasted in Brisbane, who'd have thought? Hot chocolate mind you, not Italian chocolate That's another story.
