Craft Parkhurst

Known for their exceptional burgers and ribs, Craft Parkhurst has recently introduced a  mouth-watering extension of waffles and extreme milkshakes to their dessert menu alongside their Guilt-Free Cheesecake and Salted Caramel Panna Cotta to name a few...

On my recent trip to Johannesburg, a few friends and I were treated to a delectable array of desserts at Craft Parkhurst. The evening was rainy and cold and what better way to spend it with good friends and food. Thinking back to that night makes me want feel for their Peanut Butter milkshake. Our mission was to sample the new additions to the dessert menu beginning with the Guilt-Free Cheesecake which is carb and sugar free. It is Banting and diet-friendly. Served in a cute little cast-iron pot on a wooden serving board, the baseless cheesecake topped with almonds and berries is perfect for two. Sweet and creamy and totally guilt-free, this dessert is perfect for the health-conscious!

Next we tried out the Vanilla milkshake and the Peanut Butter milkshake. With the simple presentation, all the glory is in the shake. Sugary sweet and delicious is all I have to say. I'm going to jump to the pizza and mention that it was divine! A medium-base pizza with vegetables hit the spot on a cold night! 

Back to the desserts... The Salted Caramel Panna Cotta was my favourite of the night. It's not too sweet which is my preference since my days of sugar-loading are long gone. Served on a wooden serving board with a side of sugared pop corn and spun sugar as well as a generous drizzle of caramel. May I just add that the caramel was made to perfection. There was no trace of burnt sugar. 

By this time we all were nearing the point of 'Food Coma' but we continued, relentlessly. Next we gave the Roasted Marshmallow waffles a go. Home-made buttermilk waffles topped with an assortment of Marshmallows and Marshmallow fluff. This was a treat! I was too full to have more than a few bites however, I really enjoyed it!

The Piece de Resistance, the Cotton Candy,Candy Popping Extreme Milkshake. This was a feast for the eyes! Looking at the work of art milkshake was such a treat. Served on a wooden board as well, this milkshake was topped with whipped cream, cotton candy and m&m's. It was almost too good to try! Nevertheless, we each had our chance to devour it. It tastes like little fairies dancing on your tastebuds and fireworks going off in the distance leaving behind a trace of sparkles...

Our overall experience was delightful. From the time we arrived, we were treated with hospitality and friendliness from George Camara the Manager and Zee Inyoni our waiter. The atmosphere was lively buzzing with people. I definitely recommend this place for a fun girls night out or for a quick coffee!
