Amuseables Latte opens the café doors at eight o’clock on the dot – and not a minute later! A brilliant barista, she runs the counter like clockwork – one eye on the steamer, one on the regulars – and is renowned for her smooth service. Customers adore her. Her latte art is the stuff of legends. She even got a smile out of Ricky Rain Frog, after recreating his new rubber ring in micro-foam form…Soft, layered, and topped with fluffy whipped cream, she’s got your morning covered.
Amuseables Horatio Pistachio comes from a fine family. He’ll tell you (politely!) that pistachios are technically seeds, not nuts, and that his lineage traces back to an orchard in southern Italy. Despite the grand name, Horatio’s always been shy – until a craft chocolate course helped him come out of his shell. Now, whether hand-rolling truffles to pouring viral Dubai-style slabs, he’s happiest in the kitchen: sticky, smiling, and confident. He’s brought you a batch to try. Be kind – he’s still learning to temper!
Amuseables Apple is currently backpacking across Canada. She’s now ticked off white-water rafting from her bucket list, and her leaf (worn angled, beret-style, ever since the French quarter of Toronto) still hasn’t dried. She’s up for just about anything, especially if it involves a view! Her next location? New York. The skyline. The subway. The legendary cheesecake slice at the Jellycat Diner… Apple’s got dreams. Big dreams. And she’s already booked a diner table for two – fancy splitting a cheesecake slice?
Allexi Alligator is head chef at Gator’s Gap: a celebrated (and entirely meat-free) diner nestled in the Louisiana marshland. Renowned for his tofu chowder and okra gumbo, Allexi gives classic Southern staples a veggie twist – and takes pride in feeding just about everyone who wanders into his swamp. Even Amuseables Peanut, who, wildly off-route, found himself in need of some sustenance after gator-frogging across the Gap, got a warm Southern welcome. (Allexi didn’t charge him a dime. After all, it’s not often someone cartwheels through the mid-lunch service!)
Amuseables Parmesan is a practically perfect cheese! In light yellow fur with a darker, textured rind, this wedge of joy has a big stitched smile and fine cord cocoa boots – the perfect accompaniment to every foodie adventure!
