FIONA: This slice is basically a brownie sandwich with a thick slab of caramel in the middle. Great concept. Poor execution.
The brownie was verrrry dry. The caramel was very sweet but quite flavourless. The lack of crunchy chocolate on the top or texture in the base made for an average overall texture. We didn’t even finish it.
TEXTURE: 3/10
FLAVOUR: 2/10
CHOC:CARAMEL:BASE RATIO: Not really applicable to this slice. I suspect the brownie:caramel ratio would have been good if the brownie had been more palatable.
OVERALL RATING: 2.5/10
ANDREW: This wasn’t a winner for me. The brownie was dry like the Sahara and flavourless. The caramel also lacked flavour, making it something of a sandy and overwhelmingly sweet slice. This was a shame since the coffee and other food here was great.

Outrageous! These are usually the bomb! I insist on a re-trial! I will happily volunteer my taste testing services over waitangi weekend …
Outrageous indeed! Maybe an off day for the cook? And by all means, a retrial may be necessary ha!
