something which is very much inside the city but at the same time gives the feeling of missing all the city's chaos was this 6 months old shmoozies. just opposite to the road where links and alagappa school, small lane leads to nowhere located this house plus baking place plus cafe with both trees surrounded outdoor and ice creams filled indoor. romantic, peaceful, beautiful, calm yet simple was the ambience.
had a try of almost all their flavours kept, i should say every single mouth our palate gets to have totally different taste. ended up loving belgian, coffee, dark chocolate, coconut and other flavours which i haven't seen in many places before, honey ginger, chai spice, chilli guava and so on. a scoop of ice cream cost 120 ₹, half litre is 480 ₹ and one litre costs 830 ₹. took up scoops of callebaut belgian, honey ginger and coconut.
their other specialities included ice cream squares and sandwiches costing 80 ₹ and 200 ₹ approx since the latter should be ordered a day earlier, chose square which comes in 2 flavours, butterscotch with chocolate & apple cinnamon with vanilla. again chose the former that too on repeat of the order, since it was so very authentic. chocolate cake at the bottom was moist the 1st time we ordered, it became little thick the next time yet with the butterscotch ice cream drooling over the cake, it was hard to resist having a bite of that.
they are very famous among the food circle for this crumbled cakes which comes in 5 flavours. ordered banofee pie with banana layered at the top, crumbled at the sides with the addition of butter, milk and sugar. only thing i felt was it gets too sweetened after few bites. available at 600 approx ₹, 4 or 5 people can share this together.
overall : while at this time where so many new dessert places are coming up, specializing in waffles, rolls and so on, having shmoozies as a complete non commercial with hand crafted baked ice creams, unique flavours with no preservatives or additives, the owner kshama deserves a special mention and i wish shmoozies reaches to every category of dessert loving people.
cheers :)
