La Floraison | Regent Place, Town Hall
With the Instagram hype right now, we couldn't resist but to visit La Floraison. The ability to 3D print your own design on your cup of cappuccino or latte was what attracted us to visit, but it seems the functionality isn't available as of yet and as such we had to select from a range of preset images.
So it was a must to get Snapshots of Food printed on a coffee!

The coffee was nothing spectacular, in actual fact the coffee wasn't really enjoyable at all and it tasted somewhat burnt, but the idea was gimmicky and we obviously fell victim for another gimmick! (dammit Matt!)
Rose Flower
To be honest, Christie also got suckered into the gimmicks! We ordered the rose flower jelly as it was another Instagram must have. Don't be deceived by the photos on Instagram and Facebook, because the size of rose flower jelly was merely three fingers in width. It was tiny, like 2 bites tiny. To make things worse.. there was no flavour at all. It seems to have missed something very important, perhaps some coconut or even sugar syrup to give it a bit of depth. These cakes can be found locally in Cabramatta for a third of the price and has heaps of jelly cakes in all sorts of flavour like coconut, pandan, chocolate, strawberry and durian.
We travelled quite out of the way to visit La Floraison; and while it is a beautiful little cafe that has been decorated by what we could only imagine to be mystical little fairies... the food doesn't hold up.
If you are still keen on the idea of personalised printing, La Floraison is located in Regents Place in the Sydney CBD.
