Top five dessert spots in Melbourne

Get your forks out; it’s about to get sticky….
Melbourne is famous for its street art, music and café culture, but, surprisingly not for its fabulous desserts. We have compiled a list of the yummiest spots around town, because frankly, Melbourne is totally underrated in the dessert department when it most definitely shouldn’t be. Get your forks out; it’s about to get sticky….

Luxe Bite

Stuff your pretty little face with an array of cakes, macaroons, chocolates and even a few sweet and savoury snacks. We suggest you order a slice of the Epic Chocolate Cravings and a Green tea pistachio macaron. Wash it down with one of their decadent Salted caramel hot chocolates to ace the whole, sugary experience.

Monarch Cakes

Acland Street has been Melbourne’s ‘cake’ center since 1934, so you can’t miss it on your cake crawl. If calorie counting is a thing and you have to pick just one spot, make it Monarch Cakes. Here, you’ll find a range of authentic European cakes, including their famous Polish cheesecake and totes amazing chocolate Kooglhoupf.

Art meets dessert at Om Nom, housed in flashy, 4-star Adephi Hotel. Each sweet creation is as aesthetically beautiful as palate pleasing. Try the ChocolaTerrarium or After 8, which consists of biscuit brownies, river mint cremeux, dark chocolate mousse and vanilla diplomat coated hazelnut. The sweet theme continues into the cocktail menu, where you can pick from stunners such as the Smoking Marshmallow Colada or the Salted Caramel Cracking Espresso. Mind blown!
