Fraus - North Melbourne (COCONUT)

Coconut

As with pretty mush all Fraus’s, presentation isn’t really a big factor so it doesn’t really matter that it’s a bit bland and boring. And obviously there is no froth. Now down to business. The coconut flavour needs to be more present although the further through the drink you go, and the more and more used to it you get, the coconut flavour does become more evident.

Although when I was having it, it wasn’t what I expected. Instead of invisible coconut flavouring it just seems to be regular chocolate with coconut shreds in it. This means that when you drink it you constantly get small chunks of coconut in your mouth. Now I’m not really sure if I like this concept and I’ll leave you to decide if you like it but I think I’m leaning slightly towards yes. Now I don’t know how they make it so can’t say truly if it is or isn’t but it seems that if all they’ve done is added shredded coconut then I’m not sure if it’s value for money.

Summary: After drinking this I was left in a bit of a pickle but if I did have to give my final opinion it would be… Yes it can be bought and drunk and enjoyed on a basic level (for Fraus standards that is) but with all the range on their menu I wouldn’t suggest choosing this one.
