Icy Treats
My favourite refreshing icy treats in Sydney–from ice cream and soft serve, to froyo and acai.
Vietnamese inspired gelato and desserts in Cabramatta. My favourites so far are durian and sweet corn.
Kreamu Gelato, Cabramatta
Delicious Asian inspired gelato. I recommend the matcha green tea and Vietnamese coffee flavour.
Ice Kirin Bar, Burwood
Japanese inspired desserts and drinks in Town Hall. I recommend matcha gelato mochi and honeydew milky snow.
Gacha Cafe, Town Hall
Gelato in Darling Square (and other locations around Sydney). I love the texture of Messina’s gelato and like gelato with bits and bobs in it. So i always get a cone with a flavour from their specials. Some specials I still dream about: Morning Glory...
Messina, Darling Square
Filipino inspired gelato and desserts in Burwood. I recommend the Sylvies handheld ice cream sandwich, Pandan gelato and Ube gelato.
Kariton, Burwood
Unique fruity parfaits in Bonnyrigg. These parfaits are revolutionary! Featuring seasonal flavours, i recommend the grape and nashi parfait from their autumn menu. It’s got soft serve, fresh grapes, grape granita, vanilla custard, fresh nashi pear an...
Kream'd Parfaits, Bonnyrigg
Warm Treats
My favourite warm comforting treats: donuts, churros, waffles and more.
Fresh churros for only $3! Try sauce on the side for $1.50. The chocolate sauce wasn’t too sweet so I recommend it.
Churros1500, Haymarket
Fresh churros food stall pop-up around Sydney markets. Get the salted caramel filled churros.
Mr Spanish Churro
Fresh cinnamon donuts are the best at Donut King. Liverpool Westfield always makes them fresh so I get one to snack on while I shop every time I’m there. Perfect amount of crispiness, fluffiness and sugar.
Donut King, Liverpool
Fresh original glazed donuts in Liverpool. I refuse to eat stale KK donuts as I’m so used to getting fresh ones here as they have the donut factory right inside.
Did you know that when the red “HOT” light at the front is on, you can ask for free don...
Krispy Kreme, Liverpool
Cookies
Cookies and soft serve are the rage right now.
Fresh cookies and soft serve in Haymarket. I recommend the maple pecan cookie with vanilla soft serve.
Kuki Soft Serve & Cookies, Haymarket
Thick cookies and soft serve in Manly. I recommend the banoffee cookie and salted caramel macadamia cookie.
These cookies are so fat and luxurious, perfect for a naughty feed but it’s quite sweet. One cookie between two people is optimal and definit...
Butterboy, Manly
Cakes & Pastries
The best baked goods in Sydney. Where to get croissants, cakes, tarts and more!
Delicious Asian desserts and unique drinks. I recommend the warm tarts.
Sweet Lu, Haymarket
This cafe in Redfern is famous for their banoffee tart which was indeed delicious, but if you’re more of a fruity gal like me, I highly recommend the blueberry fruit tart and peach mascarpone tart. Some other highlights I would get again is the speci...
Breadfern Bakery, Redfern
I recommend the matcha yuzu croissant. It is so crispy and flakey with an interesting runny matcha yuzu cream. The matcha was subtle but I really enjoyed the textures and flavour overall. Their matcha raspberry tarts are creamy and the matcha flavour...
YIN Viennoiserie, Glebe
I recommend their strawberry croissant, blueberry croissant, tomato and cheese, and apple cinnamon. Their matcha latte is quite sweet so it’ll depend on your preference.
Henry's Bakehouse, Granville
Unique pastries in Sydney. I recommend the Kimcheese focaccia, Matcha brochi, and Pandan cookie.
Pantry Story Bakery, Stanmore
