Reviews San Churro

The churro snack pack is definitely a huge yes from me. The cutest take on the hsp, and really yum. Filling enough to be lunch tbh and well priced

Great dessert place that does these spanish fried doughnuts, we got the churros to share which came with 6 sticks and 2 sauces, we got the milk and dark chocolate. It was delicous but slightly over priced.

San Churro franchise is my favourite of all the popular franchises to get a hot chocolate. Their hot chocolates are so thick and rich. Really tastes indulgent. Not to mention you can get churros, which I think are expensive considering what it's made of and how much you get but nonetheless a delicious treat on occasion. This one at Chatswood has always been good in terms of quality but at times I've had to wait awhile when they are busy (which doesn't really bug me because it's pretty obvious when they are, so I know to expect a wait).

My favourite dessert place for sure. The Choc Banana Sundae is unbelievable as is the San Churros Sundae. Cake wise, Death by Chocolate and the San Churros Chocolate Cake are of a high standard. I've been to numerous outlets both interstate and locally, and must admit staff have always been friendly, enthusiastic and happy to answer any questions.

I have to say, I'm always very satisfied when I come here. I've never had any of the cakes, chocolates  or ice cream, but have always stuck to the churros. As part of their loyalty program you get free double churros on your birthday! I just went there for my freebie churros, and ordered a dark hot chocolate with it. The guy on staff was very friendly, and the churros came out very quickly, and were warm and crunchy and delicious. The (milk) chocolate sauce was lovely too. This was the first time I ordered a dark chocolate hot chocolate, since I always go for the milk, but I was pleasantly surprised by this, as it wasn't too bitter at all, but still retained a nice creaminess, with a great, in-depth flavour.  That the churros were free was an absolutely fantastic bonus! I actually couldn't finish it all, though I tried. Very filling and great value. You can also buy the crockery that they use there, which hardly any other cafés do. I bought an orange classic mug for $10, which I thought was a reasonable price. Oh and they have water there that you can fill up yourself. 

The café is on the top floor of Westfield opposite the cinema. It's a good size, nice seating, and although you can hear the goings-on of the shopping centre, there is still an intimate atmosphere in San Churros. I only come here about once a year, but every time it's always a lovely experience, particularly in winter. The staff, food and service is all top- notch. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Located near the cinemas, i have been here on a few occasions and it has been good. You tend to come here because you have been prior and understand that their hot chocolate is more the traditional type and more a thick style. Their churros are also good too! I do like getting their hazelnut hot chocolate but do not bother getting anything else sweet as you will not be able to finish it. Staff are friendly. Also a good assortment of presents ideas for those chocolate lovers. They also tend to have seasonal specials on. Because Easter is coming up they have a few Easter eggs already on sale

I went to this cafè several time, I really like ice-cream with churros.
But for hot chocolate, it a little bit sweet in my opinion.
The staff at this cafè quite friendly. It nice place to have afternoon tea as well.

After having travelled through Spain quite extensively, and eaten quite a lot there, being able to eat churros back home was a nice reminder. This chain is popular - but eating churros and dipping them in molten chocolate first of course, is always a pleasure!

Extremely rich. I confess that for a long time I have been drawn to San Churros. Maybe its the location, considering I pass through Chatswood daily and the store is designed expertly so that innocent passer-byers are well-placed to see the luscious goods inside and be lured in.
Anyway, finally, with my best mate in toe, I succumbed and ventured inside.
The store is small, but on a Wednesday afternoon there were plenty of seats. We had great trouble choosing, but finally our combined choices were:

Churros for two with milk chocolate dip (we had to try the famous churros!) $14.95
Death by Chocolate cake (it just looked so good!) $8.95
Dulce de leche shake (couldn't resist Argentinian caramel) $8.50

Verdict:

I have heard that the churros at San Churros are the best- all I can say is if that is the case, then I am not a fan of churros. It wasn't that our churros tasted bad- its just that they didn't taste better than regular donuts in my opinion. For me I felt that there wasn't enough dough, and the increased surface area meant that there was a lot of crunch but not much flavour, even with the choc dip. Definitely, this is a personal preference - I have heard great things about churros from others, and I don't think the ones we were presented with were badly done, I just think churros in general aren't to my taste.

The choc mud cake was so very very rich. I use the word 'very' multiple times for emphasis- I very rarely come across a dish that strikes me as very rich because to be frank the richer and more indulgent the better! But this cake had so much ganache that I had to leave some on the plate! Having said that, it was absolutely delicious and I would be eager to order it again. The cake slice was huge (perhaps that was why I couldn't finish it), and I think it was good value for money. All up, I would highly recommend, although only for true chocolate lovers!

My biggest disappointment came from the drink- I wouldn't really call it a shake, it seemed a lot more like a Gloria Jeans chiller to me as it didn't taste very creamy or milky and I couldn't taste caramel at all. It was also extremely expensive at $8.50 considering that it was served in an average-sized glass. If you want a milkshake, don't order this drink. If you want a chiller, go to Gloria Jeans and pay much less for more.

Overall:

Go if you love rich indulgent cake, and like your donuts very very crispy.
Don't if you like your donuts fluffy and your milkshakes creamy, or are on a tight budget.

Edit:

Returned for the choc cake, but even with a scoop of ice cream, I found it sadly dry. I also tried the oreo cheesecake and found it very nice. The lemon meringue pie was a bit different (the filling was not a lemon curd, it was a lemon something which still tasted good) but pleasant.

Yum. What can beat some churros and chocolate for breakfast 😜 Perfect place for a cold day. Keep you warm with some awesome coffee , chocolate and hot churros with some amazing service
