During my time at attending Macquarie University, I’ve had
my fair share of visits to Macquarie Centre. I’d wander the various floors for
needless items that I needed to buy. Upon my wanderings, I’d always walk past
this little cafe at the end of an alley, situated the entrance from the Myer
car park on the second floor, called the Vogue Café. I’d heard that my friends
had been there before, and told me that their drinks were to die for, but
always thought they were over-exaggerating, so I didn’t pay it much notice at
first, but curiosity got the better of me one day and I had to try it out.
From memory, the area is packed for the lunch time rush from
12 onwards, but from 3 the place starts to die down. I finished class at 3, so
it was perfect timing. I walked towards the establishment, admiring the
simplistic yet intricate design and décor, like something out of France. I
loved that look about it as it made it feel like a more international
experience rather than a regional feel, talking you away into a different
place. I sat down at one of tables on the right hand side, giving me a view of
everyone in the café. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, talking
amongst one another deep in conversation. I was alone, but I still felt like I
had company as I overheard the hustle and bustle of everyone’s day. After
looking at the saliva-inducing menu, I decided to order the Mixed Berry
Smoothie. I usually make smoothies at home, so it seemed like a good option to
base a comparison off. The staff is rather friendly; as I exchanged
conversation with the woman serving me as my drink was being made, asking me
about university and my degree. For 7 or 8 minutes to make my drink, it seemed
to pass rather quickly as I exchanged conversation. The woman handed me my
drink, and I was gobsmacked. It looked like a work of art. I wasn’t sure what
to anticipated, but this was on a totally different level. An ice cream cone
inside a smoothie wasn’t something that I’d expected. The Ice cream was
decadent, not too sweet but appealing to the tastebuds and had just the right
amount of vanilla flavouring. Getting to the cone, it was crunchy and had a sweet
taste to it similar to cinnamon. Once that was all finished, the smoothie was
all that was left. It was a pretty thick consistency, and it was a bit hard to
get through the straw but the taste was amazing, a mixture of different berries. All in
all, it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to
eat a work of art!
