XOmarshmallow
XOmarshmallow is actually a café/shop in one. Marshmallows are sold in the most weirdest flavors, think about champagne, matcha, and bourbon marshmallows. You can buy the marshmallows as a gift, but also for yourself and there are even mugs and t-shirts for sale. The café is decorated over-the-top: a lot of pink, bright lights and neon letters. A place to make the most beautiful Instagram shots.
The menu
One of the items on the menu is the traditional s’more, this is a bite consisting of two Graham crackers with warm chocolate sauce and marshmallows in between, especially popular at the campfire. You can also buy the monut (a marshmallow donuts), whoopie pies, marshmallow dream bars and various sweet drinks (all of course including marshmallows and sweet toppings).
Another equivalent combination on the menu is the s’maco. This is a s’more taco. The dish consists of a waffle in the shape of a taco shell, filled with chocolate sauce, marshmallows and other toppings.
In short: don’t go to XOmarshmallow when you’re on diet. The café, the interior and the menu radiates sweets. For the foodies among us, this is truly a place to make unlimited images of the dishes and the surroundings. Owner Lindzi Shanks: “We want this space to become a place where people smile till the end of their stay”.
