Such a super cute place my Aussie friends brought me to. My favorite was the pecan pie and cinnamon…read moreroll. That says a lot since I'm from Texas and we are known for pecan pie.

These guys do cakes and cookies... quiche and bread... a range of meat pies.... and (most importantly) it is all great value and delicious. The last time I came here I grabbed the baked cheesecake and a mac. The cheesecake was awesome. Best part was that as a single tart like serve, it was not too small or too large to munch through contentedly. The mac had too much froth for my liking, but once removed, the remainder of the mac was great. Only annoyance is that when removing some of the froth I lost some of the crema and coffee oil... So if you desire good coffee and cake and don't feel like paying $5+ for something sweet, then this place is for you.

Having come across this chocolate after my friend spoilt me with a bar of their luxury chocolate…read moreblocks as a gift I have fallen in love. Koko Black is a Melbourne chain that I welcome with huge open arms. The Cafe is located on Pitt Street just outside the entrance to the Strand. Upon walking in your great with a counter of hand made chocolates and a wall of more chocolate flavours. It's very much a classy chocolate experience but once you taste you will be head over heals. The Shop actually has a cafe downstairs with seating for approximately 25-30 people. They have limited seating upstairs also. The cafe does takeaway but I believe this place you need to experience while seated. The cafe has all the usual options you would expect and hot chocolate in a range of flavours including Belgian Classic, light , mocha, chilli, cinnamon and affagato . This is my second time here. First time I went I was humming and hawing between chilli and cinnamon. Luckily the gentleman behind the counter offered to make me a combination of both flavours. That was genius. The chocolate tastes like liquid gold (well how I imagine that would taste). It's so rich and creamy and the cinnamon just hits the spot with the bite of chilli on the last gulp. The second time I came I had the affagato which contain luxurious vanilla ice cream and a small container of Belgian hot chocolate to pour over it. Never experienced this concoction before. It was interesting but I must say I prefer ice cream or hot chocolate as separate entities. The ice cream is amazing though. The cafe does offer ice cream treats too which would definitely be worth a look. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable here. On the day we were here they were handing out samples of their raspberry ganache hand made chocolates which were beautiful as well. This is a beautiful cafe and somewhere to bring a chocolate lover or someone you want to impress.

Sugar Plum Cake Shop has been open for decades and sells yummy cakes, pastries, pies and sausage…read morerolls.

I had a hard time deciding which one I wanted! Macarons are so last season. Eclairs are where it's at. Actually, I never fancied macarons; never understood the hype.

There's a bus stop right across the road from it that you can catch from Bondi Junction Train station, but since we were going to be gorging on these we decided to walk the 20 minutes to the store! Pre-emptively burn off those calories because once you're inside you won't remember you're on a diet! Also, don't have lunch or breakfast before you go!!!
