Coffee and drinks

Reviewers say the coffee always hits the spot. One reviewer found a medium-dark roast with a slightly bitter edge, and another called the hot chocolate decent.

Burnt basque cheesecake at Illi Hill

One reviewer drove 25 minutes for the burnt basque cheesecake. It has no crust, a burnt top that is dry rather than crisp, and a smooth, creamy centre. The reviewer, who makes the cake at home, said it was as good as their own.
