Nice food and coffee, friendly service, and lovely seating area with sunshine. Donuts are homemade. Can’t expect more from a local cafe.
Good food - loved the Bao and the Soba Salad. Service was also great - my grandma couldn't eat her meal when it was given because of the dairy, so we ordered a different meal instead. We did not want to put the uneaten meal to waste and decided to have it as takeaway, though they insisted giving it to us for free. Very kind of them, would definitely recommend Devour. Just a shame they no longer serve desserts - would have loved to have something sweet after lunch!
Came here for a dessert night back in May and the food was incredible. Heard such good things about this cafe that I knew it was worth the 1h wait outside, and the 0.5h wait at our table, for some sweet treats. Would wait again, hot damn was it the right decision! Shared a peanut butter and jelly pannacotta, chocolate lava cake, fried red velvet ball with ice cream, and a donut dish...all were well thought out, balanced and textural heaven. The team behind the dishes just gets what makes dessert great, and the wait staff run a well oiled front of house machine. If you haven't visited before, make the effort to get to Hilton, you won't be disappointed.
Gets busy so get in early. The green table dish is packed full of vegetables I highly recommend this. Will try their maple bacon doughnut one day. Bao was good too.
Devour Cafe used to be known as an exclusive dessert cafe back in their days on Prospect Road. Since their move to Richmond they stay true to their dessert hearts by having pop up dessert nights but the cafe now serves breakfast and lunch. Excellent breakfast and lunch if I may add. The menu changes from time to time keeping with the food trend and it is mouth watering.
Love Devour! It’s a hidden gem. The coffee is amazing and the menu is yum! There’s a lovely selection of traditional and Asian fusion dishes to choose. Definitely recommend!
Love this place, fantastic coffee and the food never fails. Never had a disappointing dish, the pork belly burger is great and the corn fritters.
Devour is such a great place for brunch or dessert. Loads of options on the menu and so many tasty treats on offer to eat there or takeaway including their famous donuts. Friendly staff and a chilled relaxed atmosphere. Easy parking in the surrounding streets and look out for their dessert nights which are held throughout the year. A big tick from me.
Delicious and worth the wait
No need to order drinks unless it's a herbal tea because you feel sick from sugar overload hehe
Best with a few friends so you can share a few dishes!
Yoghurt panna cotta was amazing! Carrot and cumin soup is also delicious!😁😁😁
Overall very happy and impressed by devour since it moved south and became a cafe. Even in horrible winter weather this place was jammed with people streaming in the whole time we were there. Service was fast and friendly. I love the feel of this place, small and cosy but would have been nice to have a heater going so we didn't have to wear our jackets while eating. It's a small menu with a few additional specials but our dishes and the dishes I saw go out were presented beautifully and decent portions. I had the chorizo, beetroot relish and poached eggs and it was so yummy! They also have a small dessert cabinet filled with macarons and donuts. I got a snickers donut takeaway and it was so tasty! Definitely recommend devour.
Love this place! Food is always amazing and the atmosphere is spot on. Highly recommended for foodies! Their cakes and desserts are delish as well. Can't wait for the next dessert night!
Very nice place with great hipster decor, would definitely recommend! looks great on photos and the food was great as well, definitely worth the price and stands out for Adelaide cafes
Poppie has been to Devour quite a few times, he loves the fitout and atmosphere of this suburban hidden eat which is becoming more and more common these days. This place is very delicious. The coffee is nice however it is hit and miss depending on the barista. But let Poppie tell you, the Benedict Breakfast with Ham Hock was incredible. Absolutely delicious ham cooked to perfection and falls apart then melts in your mouth. Poppie is salivating just thinking of it now. The cakes and desserts they use to do on Prospect road is now a thing of the past. Now there are muffins and healthy raw options instead. A sign of the times I guess. Hopefully the 'Raw' fad fades fast. Despite this, Devour is definitely worth a visit. Thumb Up
Oh so tasty! This little hipster cafe is tucked away providing plenty of street parking. Food was beautiful! Exciting out-of-the-box menu. Fresh and packed of flavour!
It's pretty good there I liked my meal I just didn't like the honeycomb it had a bitter taste to it so I rate it a 4.0 But it's good food for dessert

It's great to revisit a place and get a totally different and improved experience to the first. This is what happened for me when I gave Devour another try. The staff were all friendly and even though the person who served us forgot to put in the order for the second coffee, this was a small thing in the overall experience. Our order was taken at the table and water was offered when we sat down as was the offer to bring coffee while we decided on what to order. The food was excellent and the coffee was good quality. Absolutely loved the chia pudding.
The cafe was very busy and the vibe was great. Healthy options in the menu and good value for money. I am glad I gave this place another try and have since been back a few times and found the experience each time just as good. I have left my original review below but would now say definitely give Devour a try!
-------------------------------------------
ORIGINAL REVIEW - November 2016 Rated 3.0
If I could rate only on service this cafe would get no more than 1.0. Very indifferent service bordering on rude. When I approached the counter I let the staff member know that I hadn't been there before and so wasn't sure what was available. She pointed at the menu board and said nothing. I decided against spending much there so ordered a cookie and juice - the cookie was ordinary and was told I couldn't have ginger in the juice because she told me with raised eyebrows that they don't have that. Pointing seems to be the way they offer customer 'service' as that is what she did when I asked about table water. The bottle on the table was empty and there were no glasses. The table was unwiped and this was not done when the food was delivered.
The place was busy and the food going out to the table next to me looked good. It seems to be one of those 'places to be' and the shop itself was light and airy and located on a main thoroughfare from South Road so is easy to find and there is no nearby competition. I left very unimpressed but maybe there was a reason for such bad service. Seating inside and out.
Summary: Service poor. Food others were eating looked good. Juice watery, cookie rock hard. Give it a try? Yes - maybe your experience will be better.
I ordered the corn fritters with salsa and poached eggs. Everything was delicious except for the corn fritters. They were like deep fried cakes with a little bit of corn in them. If Devour just made the usual corn fritters, it would have been much better. I didn't eat them after I tried them as they were really oily and just tasted deep fried, a little too much for brunch. The dish also had sour cream which made the dish even heavier. The fresh spinach, avacardo and salsa lightened the dish but I wouldn't order it again. My cousin had the ham hock with poached eggs and it was delicious, but very heavy once again for brunch.
Coffee and juice were very good!
Affordable food, spacious dining area and great coffee. I appreciate large mugs in comparison to small ones! I keep coming back for a reason.
This is the first time coming to devour since its move due to its early closing times. We decided to get get a few takeaway desserts and coffees. We ended up getting a tim tan donut, dark chocolate brownie, a soy latte and a regular latte. The soy latte was perfect, nice and smooth with the hint of soy flavour. The tim tam donut was amazing as well. It is not like your regular donut, it was buttery and airy, a great mix between a cakey and yeast donut. Imagine a Krispy Kreme but a 100 times better!
The cafe itself looked lovely. With all cafe and dessert bars moving into the city, it's nice to still have a few gems hidden away in the suburbs! We will definitely come back and have the dine in experience!
Devour Cafe Patisserie used to be a popular dessert bar located in Prospect offering beautiful, unique and creative restaurant quality desserts. I was so delighted when I moved close by thinking how great it would be not having to drive into the CBD to get a late night sugar fix. Unfortunately for me just as I had moved into the area they closed up shop and moved to Richmond. They were also no longer trading as a dessert bar but instead a cafe slash patisserie serving a small range of breakfast and lunch items and a variety of baked goods.
Friendly and quick service, relatively small menu but food was great. They obviously prefer to specialise in a few things and do it well. Excellent coffee and spacious layout.

Recently joining the world of Facebook we saw that Devour Cafe were holding a dessert night. I instantly turned to the Co-Pilot in excitement and said whatever we are doing Saturday night can wait! We hadn’t been to Devour since they were in Prospect where they were a dessert bar, as they are now a cafe to say I was excited to eat their desserts again is an understatement.
the Malteser shakes are simply put, amazing and unique. I have always enjoyed the service here and staff have always been very friendly.
The Devour cafe and patisserie has a well rounded breakfast and lunch menu, my favourite dish being the steak sandwich (its a must try for any steak sandwich enthusiast) The cafe is also very well situated for the area that I live.
Like every other cafe, they make great coffess, but what sets devour cafe patisserie from the rest for me are simply the malteser shakes and steak sandwich, it might seem a little paper thin in terms of review standards, but thats the truth (: I love it.
Only stopped by for a coffee as they were closing, but the coffee was lovely and the orange sherbert macaron I had tasted great.
How should I bring my baby in?: This cafe is big so you should be able to nab a space for a pram. Highchairs are also available.
Exceptional food and it's the best coffee you can get in the area. I've been here numerous times and the consistency of food, service and coffee is on point! Love popping by to grab a coffee and check out the new patisseries and cakes they have for the day.
When I mention about Adelaide to most of my friends, they mostly say it has nothing to offer rather than their vineyards and wine tasting activities. Out of curiosity and having heard that there is Australia's first Hello Kitty Cafe there, I manage to use my love for Hello Kitty as a main excuse to persuade Mr. Nomnom to put Adelaide as out next getaway destination!
From the day you open your doors in Richmond, your service, your food and especially your coffee has been simply amazing. Every time I walk in for a double shot skinny late before work or a cheeky Saturday morning brekky sesh, it keeps me wanting to come back for more. Keep up the great work guys and gals! :)

I haven't been here since they changed location but I used to go all the time when they were on prospect road and loved it every time, it was always super busy because let's face it the desserts are amazing! their chocolate fondant and peanut butter Ice-cream were my faves!
Me being a fitness fanatic and currently being on a strict diet, I came here after weeks of stalking the Instagram page and their glorious sweets range to treat myself. It was what I expected and more, amazing. I had one of each of the donuts in the window (I split each one six ways to share with people at work, I'm not a complete pig) but they were fresh, crisp on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. Not to mention the flavours were on point. Maple bacon, Nutella, apple custard and the classic chocolate iced donut. I also snuck in four of their macarons; grape Hubba Bubba, Red Skin, chocolate peanut butter, and salted caramel. Perfect textures and flavours all round. I'm excited to come here in the future to try their breakfast and brunch menu which I didn't even know existed after being so fixated on the donut range.
Excellent little cafe for a quick meet up! The lunch menu is appealing and the quality of food is quite good. I found most of the burger/sandwich dishes very dry but the rest are okay. Would recommend to give it a go :)
p.s. They also do a bacon & maple syrup donut which is worth a try!
New nice cafe at Richmond area. Excellent coffee and coffee art. The menu is not one of those standard. The menu look very inviting and exciting. I order ham hock with poached eggs, spinach and hollandaise sauce. Ham hock was a little dry but that's why they gave hollandaise sauce goes perfectly well. Nice poached eggs. The only bit that I didn't like was the spinach - bitter taste. Unsure why ?maybe overcook spinach. Other than spinach all goes well. Chips were crispy and nice with the aioli sauce. My friend order pork burger with Apple slaw. It is a bit big to put it all in one bite but the burger is so tasty. Definitely worth going back again.

Devour is hard to review. They can be a little hit and miss sometimes, but overall I would recommend it because the highs are definitely worth it. I often go for lunch, so I don't often order breakfast or dessert.
Food:
I have had some epic food and desserts here, but on occasion have been let down too. If you order right you will be rewarded with an incredible experience (see below). The coffee is usually good and the desserts are usually great, although they are sometimes prone to serving stale donuts.
Service:
The service for me is always good as I am a regular, but I can understand that upon first glance it can seem a little icey. You have to be patient, you need to get to know each other first and once you do you will feel really welcome.
Ambience:
I love the location, tucked away on a nice side street in the 'burbs, but I also find that the interior can seem a little bit cold, both visually and also literally, the temperature is low.
Dish to look out for:
The scotch fillet steak sandwich is worth the trip alone. I absolutely love this sandwich, it's the best steak sandwich I've ever had. The scotch fillet is delightful, the condiments and sauce are all spot on, but the star of the show is the thinly sliced, appropriately cooked bacon. Love the dill chips too. Get it in you!
Went here for Valentine's Day and Amazing amazing amazing. Great service, beautiful coffee and I had the chilli pork hock for breaky it was delicious. Mrs had the fritters and loved them. Hidden little gem. Will be back soon
Recommended by a friend. Not cheap but I don't mind paying for good food and good food I got. My prosciutto and grilled peach salad was full of flavour and spectacular. Service was fast and pleasant and atmosphere ... well best described as 'groovy'. See photo of salad ... Yum! I'll be back.
I Really enjoyed it. Good atmosphere, cool decor, friendly staff and good coffee. I got the Eggs Benedict that comes with a ham hock (genius idea) and it was great. Their desserts look pretty amazing too. Will definitely be coming back here...
Popped in for breakfast. Got a nice sunny spot in the window with the newspaper. Very friendly staff. Beautiful avocado dish & nice coffee. Will be back.
Amazing. I've heard so much about the Patisserie, so I HAD to visit when I was in the area. The ambiance was great, a nice mix of people (families, 'young' people, etc). I'm not usually one for pastries but when I saw the dark chocolate and raspberry scroll I had to have one; it was $4 a little more than what I'd like to pay, but given the store's reputation I knew the price would be fitting. The service was nice, friendly and standard. As for the scroll, it was by far the best scroll/ pastry I've ever had, the pastry was buttery, a nice flake to it, a nice balance of chocolate and raspberries and a size that was jusssst right (sorry if that description wasn't the best, I'm not a food critic lol) . I never thought that something as simple as a scroll could be so amazing and I find myself thinking of it all the time, too bad I live about 35 minutes away! :(
2017, Fantastic dessert night. The food is creative and quirky (deconstructed) but the flavours are always good. Desserts nights unfortunately are not a regular occurrence
2014, So dissapointed. We went especially for afternoon cake. We were so disappointed, there were only four types to choose from. FOUR!!! Four varieties of cake does not make a patisserie. A petrol station has more variety. We left and went to red door bakery, which had nine sweet selections. This was a week day, so maybe weekends are better, so don't bother going on a weekday as they do not have enough stock.
Not worth $12!!. Quite disappointed as the dessert was below average.
Service was good.
Nice dessert. I'm in two minds about this one. Both of the desserts ordered (banana cake and bombe alaska) were fantastic. I was worried it would be a smear of this and dust of that, but both desserts were substantial and worth the rather high prices paid. The popcorn ice-cream was amazing! I have to say though, paying $6 for a pot of Dilmah tea irritated me a bit - especially when I could see jars of loose leaf French tea on the counter. Would definitely return, but avoid ordering tea!
Tasty!. Very small and laid-back dessert place. Sometimes the service can be average, but I really like this place and I've been here more than once. Everything I've tried here has been delicious and interesting. Always interested to see what new treats they have to offer.
Excellent service. Delicious desserts! Relaxed, chilled vibe. Would definitely go back!
Friendly and fast service. Interesting menu! We had the donut sundae and some coffees - all were yummy.
One of my favourite dessert places in Adelaide especially alil up north. They have a small but delicious selection of desserts to cater for most people. Served in a very cosy but spacious room where couples and friends can enjoy. Can't remember off the top of my head what I had but I know their chocolate fondant is to die for (note the 15 min wait). Absolutely love it! :D
I went here a few nights ago and it was honestly so yummy! My food was well worth what I paid for it and the hospitality was amazing :) I have decided I need to stop trying all these dessert bars because there are so many I want to go back to!! I am a very fussy eater when it comes to desserts as I can cook pretty well myself so am very picky! But this definitely lives up to the expectation!
Excellent desserts and coffee... Would just love it to have a bit of a revamp though. Can't wait to go back.
The chocolate fondant was amazing! Highly recommended.
An alright place, average but are getting better. A lot better from where they first began. Green tea thick-shake is a must have, but make sure they remember to make it thick! That's always my problem with them!

Must Visit for Dessert Lovers. Devour Dessert Bar features a small but regularly changing menu of restaurant quality desserts. The atmosphere is contemporary rustic with soft mood lighting, fitting for an evening only venue. We've only had to queue once, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Visiting last night, we ordered a selection of desserts and milkshakes. There's lots of anticipation when the food arrives, due to the chef's creativeness and the beautiful presentation. The servings can look deceptively modest, but because of the high quality ingredients are both full of flavour and very filling. The drinks are equally delicious and served in cute glass bottles.
My dessert was the chocolate tart, served cut into two glossy rectangles like jewels, with piped white chocolate, whole raspberries, peanut crunch and peanut butter ice-cream placed strategically around the plate. The accompanying caramelised white chocolate milkshake tasted exactly as described, though our son says the Malteser shake is the best. Even my non-dessert husband loved the delicate flavours in the deconstructed cheesecake with tapioca. At around $12 for dessert and $6.50 for a milkshake, this is one of the best quality and value for money dining experiences in Adelaide.
The desserts were amazing. Went with a large group and we ordered 1 of every dessert and not one dish was a disappointment. All were incredible and delicious. Ambience of the place is quite nice. The macarons were mouthwateringly good. Also bought 2 takeaway tubs of ice cream, peanut butter and red skin. Finished them both in 2 days. Can't wait to come for more. One of my new favorite dessert places in Adelaide.
Very nice, the desert was well balanced in flavour and not a huge portion. The atmosphere was vibrant and we all enjoyed ourself. Good quality and casual, what more could you ask for.
I always enjoy the lemon meringue dessert and donuts. EFTPOS would mean I go there more often. Happy this happy busy place is in my 'hood.
Fantastic. Always something interesting to try. The milkshakes are incredible. The staff are always really polite and friendly. I like the dim lighting makes it feel intimate

Every time I come to devour I am always greeted warmly, informed correctly as to what is currently available, orders are prompt, and simply amazing food. Never dissappointing. Ever! A must go!
Best Dessert bar in Adelaide?. As a food | coffee critic, I have been to Devour a few times, each time leaving satisfied and impressed.
//Cafe atmosphere
From the dim red industrial lighting to the vintage chocolate making implements and bottles in boxes on the walls, it's easy to see that the fitout has been well thought through. Neat and practical seating. 9/10
//Service
The friendly, efficient and attentive staff make for an enjoyable experience. These guys have got it together 10 /10
// Dessert

//Verdict
Quite possibly the best Dessert bar in Adelaide, certainly well worth the trip. Booking a table is a a good idea. Devour Dessert Bar gets 9.5/10
Keep coming back for more!. Best Deserts in Adelaide!
I visited Devour tonight and shared two desserts. Both were delicious and beautifully presented. Peanut butter and jelly panacotta really nice. Donuts were nice but overcooked. Would have loved a nice glass of sparkling or sticky!! Will be returning!!
I liked it. It was dark and romantic and so yummy! Great place for a first date with someone you really fancy. 10/10
The most beautiful & delicious chocolate fondant & panna cotta! Totally worth the price & saturday night wait.
Good but repetitive. Living near Devour I frequent it on at least a monthly basis with friends and family. They love it and find it very adventurous but in the past year I have started to find the menu extremely repetitive. Everything is always well done and the service is fantastic but I would love to see them do something new and exciting!!!
Awesome fresh desserts! Seriously why would you eat dessert elsewhere!! Great coffee also. We came here after dinner! Very worth the visit! See you again soon. Nice end to our evening! Thanks.
I have been here a few times, it's not usually my first choice of dessert bars as it can be quite hit and miss depending in the menu. It's a bit pricey but I enjoyed the lemon meringue tart and the creme caramel recently. The popcorn milkshake did not taste of popcorn at all which was disappointing. Perhaps a little more lighting would be kinder on my eyes. But all on all, I will continue coming back.
Fantastic food that is well worth the reasonable price.
Amazing. best dessert bar in Adelaide. quick service, good but small range of meals - but something for everyone. the chocolate donut dessert is my fave with everything on the plate working well together.
Nice Desserts, A Little Small for the Price. Checked this place out tonight for the first time. The menu selection is quite small which made it easier to make a decision. I chose the Chocolate Brownie with, Banana Ice Cream, Chocolate Crunch, and Caramelised Banana, $12. When I was served it, I was a little taken a back with the serving. The brownie itself was a decent size, but the banana was actually two small slices and barely noticeable caramelise glaze on top, the icecream was about a table spoon scoops worth.
I have to say the dessert was absolutely delicious, the warm brownie with the mix of banana icecream worked really well. I felt a little let down by the overall size for the price, but it was a nice treat. I also got a chocolate milkshake serviced in an old school milk bottle which was pretty cool to see.
Don't like that you cannot book a table! but nice food. Yummy food, good flavours, I had the chocolate fondant and peanut butter icecream which was awesome! for a small dessert it was really filling and rich (good!).
Only complaint is that you cannot book a table! I wanted to go here with a large group of ppl (15) but they wouldn't let me book a table so we went else where!
The food is wonderful. No one could be voting this on the food.
It has to be the cash only aspect.
The place is wonderful,
Go to the teller machine folks before you get there, Then sit back and relax, It's gorgeous
Delish!!. Had a great time with my girlfriends here one thursday evening. Loved the desserts and the deconstructed style. Would just suggest you rock up early as seats fill quick and it's a bit uncomfortable waiting outside in this weather. I will be back
I've been here about four times now and have tried something different every time. It never fails to impress. Delicious!!
The desserts are nice but so little amount! I think Spatz is way better in term of everything (taste, volume, presentation)... Sometimes, don't try so hard to be different you know... Simplicity always wins!
Definately a great addition to Adelaide's ever growing dessert 'scene'. It's cosy and has a warm atmosphere. An excellent array of desserts and a great tea list. The perfect place for a catch up with friends.
Love this place! Great food that could only be made better if they took bookings! So scrumptious, my favourite dessert bar! YUM!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Loved it....but why no EFTPOS?. I think we got here just in time, because as soon as we sat down the line to wait exploded. The food can be described as de constructionist. They turn a simple dessert into a piece of artwork. My friend had the malteser milkshake, which tasted like crushed malteaser. It was delicious. He then had the donut sundae, I have never seen someone have so much fun with a dessert. The pop rocks made him jump and giggle. I was fortunate enough to have the apple bombe alaska, definitely a spectacle! It came out looking like it was on fire. The meringue was soft and silky smoothe, with the crunchiness on the outside. My only complaint was maybe the apple flavour didn't come through as much, they could include an apple purée under the ice cream rather than just the chunks of apple, to get the apple flavour through. They have an amazing tea selection, the orchid vanilla tea was a perfect accompliment to the desserts. The desserts were $12 each, and thought it appropriate.
The service, is adequate, maybe a bit more smiling, I know they were busy but a I-am-to-cool to be here attitude can leave a sour taste in ones mouth. You are paying for the whole experience not just the dessert. One minor niggle, can you please please please write a sign saying that you don't have EFTPOS services before we enter. My friend had to go all the way down prospect road (the nearest ATM was unfortunately broken) to try and get some money out.
Also, going to the toilet is an adventure, you must get a key, leave the shop, go into a white corridor, enter a black door, into an abandon office building, to a toilet that looks like it hasn't been properly looked after for a very long time....
All in all, I would definitely go back, just with cash.
Funky Wank Wank Food. I love dessert, Sugar runs through my veins. Devour tries to be good, but its just tries too hard. The food is just too creative, lemon meringue...(my favourite) has all the ingredients scattered around the plate...with crumbs in a corner, the meringue piped in odd places, marshmallow around the edges and empty space all around. I would just prefer it as a tart. I also like value for money and this is way over priced. Chocolate milkshake is just ok, made a bit better by the presentation in a glass milk bottle.
9/10 overall! Cute, quirky, well designed decor that was comfortable and open. The food was to die for. Devour it we did!! It was amazingly presented, and the dishes that were on the menu were unique and interesting, I just wanted to try them all! The prices were perfectly average, however, for what you get-such a gormet, unique dish- one could argue that they are even underpriced! I did however get the white chocolate late, and although it was not unenjoyable, it was a little flavorless.
Devoured the menu.... Though other recent reviews for devour aren't so pleasant, this shouldn't put you off as it is one of those places where only you can decide whether you like it.
We went in last night and, with a group of 7 were able to try most of the menu. Some things were a bit off, the honeycomb and one cappacino was a tad bitter... however, the latter proved to be delicious.... we all would have licked our plates clean if possible (we did manage to clean the plates as well as we could... were not ashamed, a few fingers were used!)
it was definitley a fun experience, however its not something I need to to again. If I could recommend anything from the menu, its the caramilised white chocolate shake... heaven in a milk bottle... yes, the shakes are served in milk bottles! how fun!
Devour Dessert Bar is an absolute delight. Delicious food, excellent ambience, regularly updated menu and priced very fairly. The donuts are brilliant and hot choc thick. The apple soufle is a fave. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended
I love Devour! Tonight had a beautifully sharp, light textured sphere of lemon curd with toasted meringue, marshmallow ribbons and balsamic, mmmm. Yum.
Something special. Devour dessert bar is exciting, cutting edge and certainly a breath of fresh air. The food is value for money considering the amount of work that goes into it. I'm lucky to have this place two blocks away and go there whenever I can. We should all support small businesses doing it for the love. Ignore the bad reviews and check it out for yourself, you might be pleasantly surprised.
The negative reviews seemed unwarrented to me. Our party ordered six of the seven dishes on the menu (savoury too) and were pleasantly suprised. Every element on the plate added to the dish and worked well together. Very reasomably priced in my opinion. Choc doughnuts and fondant a must try.
Somethings were good.... It was okay, service and food. I dont think it is overpriced, if you want a bargain, make it yourself! It COSTS money when you go out.
Blackforest souffle disappointing,
Brulee ok
Coffee (5 senses) good
Peanut butter ice-cream amazing!
Fantastic. Enjoyed a great night out for a 21st birthday party. The food was tiney and exquisite but stangely filling! Well done! 10/10
Great little late night coffee stop!. Had a coffee and some macaroons here to give the new place a try and was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the desert menu!
Impressed from the first bite!. Last night I tried Devour's chocolate donuts. They were hot and filled with chocolatey goodness. The honeycomb on the plate offered a perfect complement to the soft donuts.
My friends were also kind enough to offer me bites of their desserts. I haven't had so tasty a chocolate fondant since my Parisienne friend made me her mother's famous chocolate fondant a couple of years ago. The peanut butter icecream was perfectly thick and sweet. The custard brulee was nice as well - I want a whole one for myself next time I go.

This little gem hides little way away from the city centre, but don't think for one second that hinders its influx of customers. Everyone seems to know about this place. I had heard of it, sort of, but never had any idea of where it was or the type of place it was - if I had only been told I wouldn't have been so surprised! Trying to find it on Prospect Road tested our "looking for a store while its night with not a lot of lighting and also I didn't have my glasses" skills, but we managed.
The chocolate fondant was nice and warm, the chocolate oozed as I dipped my spoon into it. And the berry cream complimented the chocolate fondant beautifully. I made everyone try it. It was spoonful after spoonful, till everything was gone.
After receiving a tip off from a local regarding the whereabouts of a late night dessert bar; the four of us were dead set on fitting just one more course in. Everyone can always find room for dessert. We all jumped into a cab and

Designed to showcase the skill of the Chef and the kitchen, the degustation menu is as much about showmanship and spectacle as it is about the creativity of the Chef and the quality of the food. It's a chance for the Chef to take a few risks, knowing his diners want to be inspired and will (usually) go happily out onto the edge with him; part of the fun of a degustation is eating food you wouldn't normally eat, and of being challenged in your perception of how certain dishes should look, feel and taste. Each course of a degustation menu is designed to fit with harmony into an overall experience centred around a particular theme, whether it be produce, region, cuisine or wine. At it's simplest, a degustation is a chance, for a brief moment in our busy lives, to really focus on the food and wine. Some people are a little intimidated by degustation menus. They dislike the formality and the sometimes lengthy pauses between courses. They feel like their waiter is condescending to them when
Devour Dessert Bar is generally a hit or miss for me, and with an ever changing menu, it’s hard to tell whether it’ll be a good or bad experience with the food. Fortunately, we lucked out on our visit this time around! Ring of fire – Mango bombe alaska
The right amount of ‘char’ on the meringue with the novelty still intact with the ring of fire around the plate and not directly on the dessert itself! On all occasions where I’ve ordered the bombe alaska and the dessert has been set alight, it always… always burns to a black charcoal char and unevenly too. :/ The mango bombe alaska was lovely with well balanced flavours and textures; something that the team at Dessert Devour Bar has excelled at. You may have noticed that with all their desserts, there’s a play on textures with something soft and light, and a side of crunch to play up each bite ...
We love Devour. Delightful staff, well priced meals, good coffee. Excellent selection of foods including vegetarian. Take away and pre order is ok. Most times there is a small wait.
Solid brunch place with an asian touch on the menu and the standard brunch meals. Great atmosphere and service, with all tables filled during lunch.
Ordered the big breakfast and breakfast bao with iced long black and iced matcha for drinks. The iced matcha was slightly on the sweeter side and the turkish bread was undertoasted. Bacon strips, pork sausages and hash browns were better than expected.
Would recommend going again but does not stand out from any other brunch place.
I am normally a fussy eater but Devour is hands down the best cafe I have been to in Adelaide. Coffee is consistently good, I have been most impressed with their menu. Great food quality, generous portion size and pricing all amazing and on point.
Service can be a little delayed due to how busy they are but always served my takeaway coffee at reasonable timing. Quality has always been faultless. I am a regular customer now.
First visit... great coffee but expected more 'patisserie' items
This place is amazing! The menu has a great variety and delicious! The staff are friendly and welcoming
Definitely going back
Lunch at @devourcafe - consistently good food! Haven't been back in ages, and there were new items on the menu. Tasty!
.
Potato rosti with chorizo and poached eggs: this was a fantastic dish! The potato rosti was nice and crispy, and the chorizo was very tasty. Perfectly poached eggs too!
.
Mushroom and haloumi baos: nicely steamed baos with really delicious fillings. The mushrooms were great, and you just can't go wrong with grilled haloumi!
.
Iced matcha latte: one of the few places that actually make a decent iced matcha latte 😅.
Devour was nominated for a work meeting in the Richmond area and I was pleasantly surprised. Initially we were just there for coffee but on sighting some of the dishes being delivered, I changed my mind! Ordered the avocado on toast (an easily comparable staple) and it was marvellous: the eggs were perfectly cooked, the toast was separate (not soggy), the chilli oil, shallots and coriander made it irresistible. Conversation had to slow down significantly while the meal was enjoyed.
Had a standard cappucino on the side and it was solid but by no means outstanding.
Cafe itself is medium sized and at lunch was packed with young mothers and their babies.
You would be happy to have this as your local if you lived in the area.
