What’s a ‘churro’? Glad you asked. It’s a type of Spanish doughnut – served long and hot (no puns please, I’m part-British), with a pot of melted chocolate. Legend has it that the Spanish have these for breakfast – but I believe that as much as Americans think that kangaroos exist in our backyards (actually they do populate the local university here – but I digress).
San Churro do much more than churros and melted chocolate – they also specialise in all sorts of yummy chocolate tapas, fondues, sundaes and cakes. Their beverages are also the perfect companion – choose from a variety of Spanish Coffees and Hot Chocolate concoctions – not to mention their milkshakes! Oh my.
I recommend: Churros for two (two sauces – Dulce de leche and Dark Chocolate -and yes, once you dip churros in both of these babies at the same time – you won’t go back), and Madrid Mocha (no cream, but definitely marshmallows).
Tip: Find a cosy corner couch inside the dimly lit cafe, and you have a perfect recipe for romance!
Summary: In a nutshell? Utter chocolate seduction.
- Where: San Churro – Sunshine Plaza, Maroochydore
- When: Mon-Sun 9am-10pm
- Cost: Upmarket cafe prices ($5.50 for coffee, $13 for Churros for 2. $7 for 1)
- Website: http://www.sanchurro.com.au
- Perfect for: Late-night chocolate cravings, after-movie coffee, or something a little different.
- Downsides: Only one of its kind in QLD (sorry Brisbane residents!), can get a little noisy on Friday/Saturday nights, given that it’s so close to the cinemas, restaurants and pubs at the plaza. Can also get very busy during peak times.
Coffee & Churros - made for each other!
