Loved this place! The room is cozy and cool, the staff…read morehelpful and efficient and the desserts.... Well.... ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! We popped by before the theatre, even though we had a reservation for after, just to check it out... As we got a table, we had the first desserts of the evening, the mango Alphonso and the tarte Tatin - amazing! We didn't cancel our reservation and came back for the raspberry field and the choc terrarium... Heaven on a plate! Don't miss it!

Om Nom is the perfect name for this place because whilst there, all i could think about was Om NOM…read moreNOM NOM ! As soon as you walk in to the boutique hotel Adelphi, you sense the personal and fun touches. The lolly jar and lolly bag in reception, swinging chair in the lobby and wire horse installation. Walking past the reception desk and ahead to the host stand marking the start of the dessert bar you are greeted by friendly and professional staff. We told them that we have no reservation and are hoping for an empty table ( it was a weeknight) staff threw a comforting "no problem" and whisked us inside. I can only describe the staff as sleek. they are fast, smooth, friendly and professional. Just the right amount of greet and chit chats. having sampled the Mont Blanc and Tarte tartin at the Yelp event, we opted for Smoked Banoffee, Strawberry fields, and Cendol with a side of Adelphi rose cocktail. My advise is to gulp that cocktail before you eat because after all that sweetness the cocktail starts to taste bitter hahahah The Strawberry field is my fave, with strawberry gelato for mushroom head and marshmallow for the stem, lychee, raspberries and the surprise rosewater sphere that pops in your mouth ( or your fork). It tastes like perfume but with cool texture! The smokey Bannoffee is very very strong, our waiter tells us it is the dessert that divides diners. Love it or hate it. the flamed liquor leaves a thick woody flavour and the dish comes with popcorn, salted caramel syringe, ice cream, choc ball. HOW DO WE EAT IT???? however you want, they say..... The cendol is the only one that I could do without but was enjoyed by my partner. a small choc bowl holds the gula jawa, coconut type pudding and cendol balls. They sit on top a mango pudding. If you close your eyes, you have all the taste of Cendol but it's so bloody confusing for your eyes!! Would we go back? yes I'd like to try the other desserts and perhaps the high tea, if you plan to visit, the degustation is a good idea, $49pp for 3 small version desserts ( all you need). and it looks like each person can choose their own 3. Super!! just thinking about it makes me go Om Nom Nom Nom

Earlier this year while staying in the suburb of Blackburn and after coming into the city to see an…read moreAFL game, I was waiting for my next Blackburn train to arrive at the Flinders Station. The sign said I had about a 30 minute wait. I was getting pretty hungry after a long day of sightseeing and catching the game. So with that thirty minutes to kill now I wanted to find something quick, right near the station. I walked outside, crossed Flinders Street and there it was, exactly what I was looking for. This place, Spanish Doughnuts is a little hole in the wall for sure but with a truly unique food item that blew my mind. Churros! Being from California, I have had many churros. They are everywhere. The movie theater, Disneyland, Sporting events, concerts, Costco! They are all delicious, a fried dough rolled in cinnamon. Pretty basic stuff, all the same everywhere. However this place had a variety flavors! You can get them filled with jams, custard, chocolate, peanut butter. Truly awesome. Some even come dipped in chocolate shell, like a candy bar with a churro inside. I chose the churro with peanut butter in the middle, rolled in a chocolate coat. It was fantastic. They also have a selection of coffee and sodas to choose from. You can make a little combo meal where you get a churro and a coffee and save a buck. Unfortunately for me, I'm now thousands of miles away from this place. I have actually bought churros here and tried to fill them with heated peanut butter but I have to replicate the one I had that night in Melbourne.......

This probably isn't somewhere I'd choose to go during the week or for a savory nibble but I'm…read morethankful that Spanish Doughnuts was around to cater for our late night dessert cravings as we were walking back from the MCG. $10 will get you a 6 piece sweet churros pack with melted chocolate and this was still probably too much between the 3 of us. And they don't do a terrible hot chocolate either.

It's finally happened. Melbourne gets another Gelato Messina. Anyone that has ever been to the…read moreFitzroy store knows this couldn't have come soon enough! Same format here - rows and rows of unique and delicious freshly made gelato in both ice-cream and sorbet varieties. Staff will let you try whatever flavour you like which may ease the choice anxiety, or make it worse! It's cash only, so come prepared. Recent price changes have a Tiny (baby scoop) at $4 and Single Scoop $4.80. I typically avoid the Fitzroy store due to the crushing crowds and didn't really get caught up in the hype of it all until last month. I wound up addicted to Messina after a short stint in Bondi. Here I learnt the trick to the optimum Gelato Messina experience. Always go for the specials board. Rotating regularly, the specials board always has the most out there combinations that will rock your world. In Sydney I had ones like the Momofuku 'crack pie' with hunks of caramelly biscuit in cereal milk gelato, or cream cheese gelato packed full of red velvet cake. Today at the new Richmond store, I had the "You Make My Day', which featured Toasted Milk Gelato with Oreo cookies and Dulce de Leche. It only just beat out the Coconut special filled with passionfruit curd & pineapple cake...which I kinda want to go back for before it goes away! I can't imagine the Richmond store being any less popular than Fitzroy, but at least many of us won't need to cross town anymore!

Best gelato ice cream in Melbourne. Definitely worth a try and there are so many great chioces…read more Love the pistachio flavour best.

Note: review is for Pierre Roelof dessert evening only, which has now moved to a new site…read more Pierre Roelof is a genious! I've always said that I could eat dessert for entree, main and well, dessert. And VOila! I am having my three course dessert here at Rosamond's Thursday night dessert degustations by Pierre Roelof. Opening its door at 7 pm every Thursday night, it's first come best dressed. We didn't have to arrive super early and there was a couple of seats left for a 7.30 latecomer. however, any later than that, you will have to leave your name down for a later seating. The cafe is located on Charles st, off Smith st. Appetizer is a Snickers Test Tube, complex with so many different texture, fun to eat and yum! just Yum!! First Course is a light plate with mandarin and cardamom theme, light and delicious, I couldn't get enough and wanted to lick that plate clean!! Second course called "in the middle" is a glass of Mango granita, raspberry, tapioca, coconut, crushed nuts. It has an Asian dessert flavour. Filling and tasty, it's satisfying mouthfuls. final course is a banana cake, cannelloni beans, it's CRAZY! beans in dessert! Gosh the flavours just works. So complex but they all work so well, i suggest you get here if you can before Roelof serves his last Rosamond's dessert nights this year!

Tucked just off Smith, on a sleepy little residential street (just near Somebuddy Loves You), is an…read moreadorable, tiny little café. Great coffees, DIVINE mochas, pretty darn good brekkie even. That is just where this goodness begins... Every Thursday evening, starting at 7, this place turns into the center of the dessert universe! Now, I don't mean ice cream and cookies. Not even a plain old crème brûlée. No, this is experimentally delicious, synthesis of flavours, explosions of rich creamy chocolaty fruity goodness! You may want to get there pretty early to ensure you snag a seat and/or table, because as I mentioned this place is TINY. But bring a friend or lover, because you really want to share this experience (and the plates and prices are set up best for that too). You'll thank me later.
