Last weekend we woke up and thought, 'where better to have a spot of breakfast than at a place that only serves dessert?' So off we went to Cowch Dessert and Cocktail Bar. No we didn't have cocktails for breakfast, but yes we did have dessert. 

Life is uncertain- eat dessert first.

Located among the Grey St restaurants at Brisbane's Southbank, Cowch is the perfect place for anyone who can't stop at one Tim Tam.

We started our day with a healthy dose of caffeine and sugar:

  • Coffee in a bowl
  • Dark chocolate shot

After all of the sugar we knew was headed our way, we decided to up the ante on the coffee size too! Though it was served in a bowl, it was still nice and strong.

The dark chocolate shot was exactly as rich and decadent as it looks in the picture below. It was pure gluttony in a little dish.

Deciding to test out our insulin responses, we moved onto dessert-breakfast:

  • Churros : Baked not fried, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and served with Hot Shot
  • Strawberries and cream pizza : Milk Choc base, strawberries, crushed almonds, white chocolate crispy pearls, whipped cream.

The strawberries and cream pizza was an absolute winner- I almost don't know why savoury pizzas exist after eating this.

The white chocolate crispy pearls added a nice texture to all of the otherwise soft but rich toppings. The dollops of cream actually lifted this dish- you know you're talking about a seriously dense dessert-breakfast when you say that!

I loved how the churros was baked and not fried, so there was no oiliness about them at all. When you're eating dessert for breakfast you need to take any virtuous wins that come your way!

They were a bit odd with the ricotta and passionfruit which was recommended to me, but they worked a treat in the aforementioned dark chocolate shot.

I couldn't write about Cowch without mentioning the decor- where else do you see illuminated udders hanging from the ceiling?

Everyone who came into the restaurant immediately looked up and smiled, and I can't blame them. This is mooooving interior design.

In case you're wondering, Cowch did have some healthier options available like fruit salad and an acai bowl, but I found it very difficult to order those things with dessert pizza on offer.

I
would probably not recommend doing dessert-breakfast every day of the week, but if you've got a special occasion or just fancy a bit of decadence on a Tuesday morning, Cowch is a udderly good place to fix an early morning sugar craving.
