Moustache
is a novelty of a cafe (or as they call themselves a 'bar') where the
highlights of the menu are cookies and dairy.The cafe is incredibly small and you'll rarely find space to sit, which means you'll frequently be taking away your order. It's a shame that there isn't more space inside to sit down and enjoy the homely premises. The palm sized cookies come in both unique and more classic flavours such as peanut butter, marshmallow and
black forest. The cookies are undeniably tasty, but will each set you
back $3.5. Cinnamon was my favourite, I'm a sucker for spices. They're perhaps the best cookies in the city centre, but they are not exceptional and the price point doesn't justify frequent consumption.
The
rest of menu is of mixed quality. You have your coffees, milkshakes and a few
other types of beverage. Thumbs up for the refreshing iced coffee. Massive
thumbs down for Moustache's version of a mocha. My mocha was warm, not hot, and
the chocolate aspect came in the form of a thick chocolate finger. The problem
was pretty simple; the finger wouldn't melt fully into the coffee and so I was left
with warm coffee + chocolate finger. Utterly bizarre and a total fail of a
mocha. However there is some good news on the
beverage side.
It’s
the milkshakes where Moustache leaves its mark. Like the cookies there are a mix
of traditional and more interesting flavours; chocolate, aero peppermint and cookies & cream among others. Each of the milkshakes I've tried has been lusciously
creamy, with rich flavours and the perfect level of saccharine. So far Moustache
is my favourite place to pick up a good milkshake in Auckland!
Moustache serves unique, but overpriced,
cookies and great milkshakes. It’s worth trying the cookies for yourself at
least once, and visiting on a warm summers day for one of their sinful
milkshakes.
7/10
