Viva Sustainable Food

Viva is a chain of three gourmet food stores in South Australia and seems to be nothing to do with Viva Espresso. Merkel and Mytrle visit the North Adelaide store at the back of the North Adelaide Village arcade on O'Connell Street. An Un Caffe Bar outlet and Café Paesano are at the front of this arcade. The store is mainly a gourmet grocery but also provides rolls, soup and hot beverages. There are four tables in the arcade which can be a bit chilly in cold weather.

The hot chocolate came in a glass on a saucer. It was topped with a white froth and a sprinkle of chocolate powder. The drink had a good chocolate flavour and was not too sweet. It cost $3.20.
