Infinity Cafe (Brighton)

Despite a thoroughly miserable lady behind the counter at Infinity, we really enjoyed the few things we had there.

I didn't bother photographing the BLT I had on the first morning because it was pretty much just a BLT. The rashers (almost certainly redwoods) didn't look as if they'd been cooked at all, which was a little strange.

When we returned the following afternoon we had cake, which was far more enjoyable. In fact, it was the best cake I've ever had from a cafe/restuarant/shop - up to homemade standard! :O

The banana cake (as pictured above) was really good. I could just eat a slice of that now (damn you blogspot!). I'm definitely going to have a go at making something similar when I get a chance - watch this space.

The chocolate cake was pretty good. Not on the same level as the banana, but still the best chocolate cake I've paid money for.

Infinity also have a shop on the same road, which is similar in calibre/choice/slight overpricedness to Fresh & Wild in London. They weren't stocking Go Max bars anymore (apparently they contain GM), but I picked up a few other things I don't often see, including:

• Raw cocoa butter - the first time I've ever seen it in a shop, and they had a choice!
• Cocoa nibs - not sure what to do with them yet, but thought I should probably buy them anyway
• Raw chocolate mousse - which wasn't great (not surprising as it contains moss!)
• Maverick Chocolate Honeycomb Bars - which are grim and bare no resemblance whatsoever to Crunchie bars, despite what some people online claim.
• Chelsea Buns - Not the best ever, but I'd eat again
• Focaccia - Not up to my focaccia fiend standards I'm affraid :(

All in all, I hope you Brighton people know how bloody lucky you are to have so much choice of tasty things on your doorstep! :p
