Deer Park Café and the hot choc experience
The first Nutella hot chocolate ever to melt my heart was sipped in a wonderful airport restaurant (!!) in Berlin. Every airport should have an “organic”-style welcoming. * See our “Business ideas to bring you home”. Marché Zigolini bakery in Schoenefeld airport had vegetable and fruit baskets, fresh bread and an array of delicious looking German sandwich toppings and…. la pièce de résistance … hot chocolate!
This was no ordinary hot chocolate. It arrived in a tall glass, a generous helping of nutty chocolate lacing the sides, accompanied by a jug of hot milk to pour. The resultant delight is a bit like the feeling that comes with the ceremony of caffè latte pouring. It somehow adds to the elasticity of that indulgent moment.
You can imagine my joy when I discovered that Deer Park Café offers the same delectable treat! It must be said that it also offers great quality things in the way of coffees and cakes. This is definitely an Ultimate Caffeine Kick location. The café overlooks a superb children’s playground and is a favourite amongst the local community. On the downside, the restaurant can become a little rowdy when it’s hosting a children’s birthday party and it’s raining outside!
