Try the amazing sandos at Jacorey Dessert Fortitude Valley!



Hey, have you heard about Jacorey Dessert Fortitude Valley? It's a small and charming cafe in Fortitude Valley. I'm so happy to see a Korean-style cafe here in Brissy. I love everything about this place. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet or savory, they have a wide variety of options. On my next visit, I'm definitely going for the Sando! The service is exceptional, and the coffee is bold and smooth. You should try it!

They have some amazing sandos that I highly recommend. The garlic prawn sando is juicy, flavorful, and packed with goodness. Their desserts are also pretty good, but the sandos definitely steal the show.

I was blown away by this place. The staff is fantastic, and the food is divine. Their sandos are generously portioned, and the croissants are crispy and not overly sweet. It's an absolute gem.

I personally love the Egg Sando and Bulgoggi Sando. I also tried their brown sugar ice cream with espresso (it reminds me of Kopico candies after mixing espresso with brown sugar and milk cream) and the strawberry matcha milkshake. The egg in the sando was dense, fluffy, and perfectly cooked! The Bulgoggi beef filling was exceptional. All the ingredients in the sando were fresh, and they offer great value for money as the sandos are quite filling.

Oh my, what an extraordinary dining experience at this cute and cozy cafe! The coffees were delicious and beautifully presented with latte art. Accompanied by delicious matcha and dark chocolate brownies! Just the perfect size! I can't wait to go back and try other options on the menu. The service was top-notch too! Well done, guys!
