If you love affogato, this cosy, inviting spot in Cluny Court serves fun, creative renditions perfect for indulging in with a friend. While an affogato usually comprises a shot of espresso poured over a scoop of ice cream, The Affogato Bar gets creative with the dessert. Go for the Carota Carota ($13.90) — one of the more popular affogatos on the menu that sees carrot cake ice cream set on a small slice of carrot cake and topped with walnuts, homemade cream cheese and macadamia nuts. Pour in the double shot of Mocharoma from Melbourne and let the carrot cake soak up all the coffee to give what Tastemaker Xing Wei Chua describes as a sudden addition of aromatic earthiness. Apart from affogatos, The Affogato Bar also serves bagels like the Roast Beef Bagel Sandwich ($14.50), that comes with a choice of seasalt or sesame bagel.
