Adriano Zumbo Café Chocolat
308 Darling Street, Balmain NSW 2041
Sydney Food Bloggers raid Zumbo!
I'm usually not up before noon on a Sunday but an invitation to a meetup of Sydney food bloggers at 11 am to sample the new summer season of desserts at Adriano Zumbo Pâtissier was a good excuse to get me out of bed.
The event was organised by I Am Obsessed with Food and well-attended by the likes of:

Jealous! Looks like between you guys you got to try everything in the shop! I will definitely have to try and make it to the next one! Great pics Simon.
wow. what a roundup! and so many cakes i didn't even know existed. now i really don't know what to have next. ;)
PS that berry thing is a berry custard brioche.
Hi Annie, it did seem like we just about tried everything in the store.
hi bowb, thanks for the description. very helpful indeed, i wish i knew how much it was too.
S :-)
I just realised after looking at your photos that I missed out on tasting a few of them! *slaps forehead* I guess that means a revisit - besides there's still the cafe menu to get through! Great to meet you and hope we do it again :)
Great roundup! How did you manage to resist buying a cake? :o I can't make a visit without buying 2 or 3!
hi karen, hope to see u again at another foodie event. i'm thinking somewhere to find the best Chicken Rice in Sydney?
Hi Lorraine, i bought the Have a chat Kai! and Fruit Danish. i actually think they are my fav, perhaps only because they actually have real fruit in it so i don't feel so guilty having them :-)

Great photos and post. Such good fun with so many people who share the same passion ^^!
Nice to meet you and I hope for many more sugary outings :)
Hi Simon, Great to see you. And you're in a couple of my photos! Till next time...
wow awesome post! great to finally meet ya dude!
Hey! Great to meet you, even if it was only briefly =) Maybe next time I'll be a bit more organised and come along for the whole thing! (as opposed to accidentally ;) ) Sounded like lots and lots of fun!
Great to meet you Simon! See you next time:)
I absolutely love the idea of bloggers getting together to sample food! Can I join? I help run www.foodsnappers.com - it is all about food bloggers sharing their pics!
hi emily, i hope the foodsnappers goes really well. looks like a great idea.
Thanks Simon! Hope to see you on there - www.foodsnappers.com is in it's early stages but we have strong hopes for it! Love this site by the way :)
