Affogato in Adelaide - Perfect Coffee and Dessert Combo
Looking for a delicious way to treat yourself on a warm day in Adelaide? At The Rocks Marino, we serve the ultimate indulgence: our signature Affogato. Rich espresso, creamy ice cream, and a splash of liqueur come together to create the easiest — and most delicious — way to enjoy coffee and dessert at the same time.
What Is Affogato?
Affogato (“drowned” in Italian) is a classic Italian dessert that combines hot espresso with cold ice cream for a luxurious, silky treat. At The Rocks Marino, we serve it with two scoops of premium ice cream and a freshly brewed shot of espresso, poured right before your eyes.
For an extra touch of indulgence, you can add your choice of liqueur. The espresso melts the ice cream just enough to create a rich, creamy coffee dessert that feels both refreshing and decadent — perfect for Adelaide’s warm days.
Make It Your Own
We offer a selection of liqueurs to personalise your Affogato. Choose a rich, velvety finish with Baileys Irish Cream, a nutty depth with Frangelico, or an extra coffee kick with Kahlua.
If you’re in the mood for something different, try Grand Marnier for a vibrant splash of orange or Chambord for a deep, berry-infused twist. Each choice adds a unique layer of flavour, turning a simple dessert into something unforgettable.
Must-Try Affogato in Adelaide
Affogato is the perfect balance of hot and cold, making it ideal as a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up or a light, satisfying end to a meal. It’s an easy, elegant way to enjoy coffee without the heaviness of a full dessert or the intensity of a straight espresso.
Whether you’re visiting Marino or a local looking for the best Affogato in Adelaide, The Rocks Marino is the place to be. Relax, indulge, and let us serve you something sweet, cool, and just a little bit cheeky.
