So when my auntie came visiting Sydney in September, and she suggested that we made a trip to Canberra I was over the moon!
Well I was super excited about this trips especially because this meant that I could finally get my hands of the Freak Shakes from Cafe Patissez.
So when the fateful day arrived, I woke up super early to prepare for the trip, there were eight of us going on this trip - we went on a bus, started driving from home at 7.30am and arrived in Canberra around 10am - ish. I suggested to the driver to stop by cafe Patissez as we were all quite hungry. I've been talking non-stop about the Freak Shakes the day prior the trip, so I was sure they knew the first destination to reach in Canberra is this cafe!
We arrived at Cafe Patissez at around 10:45am and had to wait for a table for two hours and thirty minutes!! But I was so determined to get my hands on these shakes that I convinced my auntie to wait.. (Thanks Aunt for being so patient!!)
When our turned arrived (Woohoo finally) - everyone was starving and so focused on the menu!
We ordered all five flavours of the shakes and some other meals.
Here they are:
 |
| Nutella & Salty Pretzel Shakes - $11.50 |
 |
| Like A Velvet Shakes - $11.50 |
 |
| The Muddy Pat Shakes - $11.50 |
 |
| Gay Time Shakes - $11.50 |
 |
| Salty Nuts Shakes - $11.50 |
Just like their name, they delivered what they promised - So beautiful, but mind you kinda hard to drink!! Because you get rid of all the goodies on top of the shakes to reach the shakes, unless you use the straws. Also if you are counting calories - forget these shakes!
- Nutella shakes - Just like the name, is full of Nutella goodness mix with a little saltiness from the pretzels
- Like A Velvet - Well one glance of the drink you will notice that it's topped with red velvet cake. Yes it's shakes full of red velvet goodness - Out of all shakes this one isn't overly sweet!
- The Muddy Pat - For dark chocolates lovers, this one is for you. Dark chocolate brownies, with fresh creams, grilled marshmallow and below all the goodies, over flowing dark chocolate sauces give the shake an added WOW.
- Gay Time - Just like the ice cream, chocolate mousse, topped with handmade gay time ice cream - a favourite of my cousin!
- Salty Nuts Shakes - salted caramel shakes with bits of nuts! a wee bit too sweet for me...
Now that we had finished with the shakes, lets move on to the food:
I ordered The Get Pig'd - $19 - crusty bread, topped with pulled pork, poached egg, wilted spinach, topped with hollandaise sauce and sprouts - the serving is very generous - I couldn't finish this one (well maybe because I drank the shakes before this meal! My bad)

| Get Pig'd - $19 |
Next, my cousin ordered The Salmon Dance - grilled salmon fillet, green beans, roasted baby potatoes, spicy chorizo, roasted roma tomatoes, poached eggs, and their famous homemade hollandaise sauce
 |
| The Salmon Dance - $21 |
Last meal was from their super brekkie burgers:
We chose Porky!! - Brioche milk bun, pulled pork, bacon jam, rockets and egg!! This was actually really good, but because we were already full from stuffing our faces with the shakes, didn't finish this meal - shame...
 |
| Porky Brioche Burger - $15 |
After all the meal and shakes, I still wanted something, namely cake! You should know by now that I am a Matcha Addict - so I ordered this super yummy matcha cake - the matcha flavour on this cake is very full on so perfect for matcha lovers like me - texture of this cake is kinda like red velvet cake only the colour is green and using lots of matcha powder here. I love the strong flavour of matcha in this cake, the combination of matcha cake and cream cheese layers, creates perfect moist and deliciousness of this cake. L-O-V-E.

| Matcha Cake - $8 |
