4 Dessert Destinations for a Sunday Sweet Treat

We all love dessert...even if we don't admit it!

 

What better way to finish a memorable meal than with a sweet treat? Here are four venues where dessert will never disappoint and prove to be the icing on the cake for a Sunday meal to remember:

Brookfield House on Hill Street is an historical landmark in the heart of Camden, which has been lovingly restored to its former glory as an authentic English-style tea house. One of the many lives this grand house has lived since it was constructed for the mounted infantry in 1896, Brookfield brings back old-world charm with a modern flavour – sit back, relax and have a cup of tea in style.

 

Recently named ‘Best Tea House Australia Wide’, choose from an impressive loose-leaf range of boutique teas including oolong, chai, fruit and herbal infusions. For a Sunday dessert session to remember choose the Cosmic Dream High Tea – scones, jam and cream, plus savoury treats like cucumber sandwiches, along with big bang black sesame seed cake, vanilla panna cotta, chamomile-infused blueberry macarons and Saturn choc chip cookies.

Follow the tantalising aroma of freshly baked bread along Victoria Street in Macedon to find locally loved The Lazy Baker. Soak up the sun alfresco on balmy days at this cosy café and bakery while sipping a specialty coffee and treating yourself to a neenish tart; or head indoors where display cabinets overflow with all manner of temptations from gourmet pies and pastries to freshly made sandwiches and rolls.

 

Stop in on Sunday to pick up a sweet treat for dessert such as red velvet cake, hedgehog slice and Florentine cookies; perhaps grab a custard, Neenish or apple and rhubarb crumble tart as the piece de resistance, or a lemon meringue pie. Don’t forget to grab a loaf of seeded mustard or wholemeal bread to take home for Monday lunch sandwiches.

Soak up the iconic Gold Coast lifestyle while brunching with style at Banksy Bar & Kitchen on Gold Coast Highway in Broadbeach. This new addition to the local dining scene boasts a modern industrial-style vibe with plenty of alfresco seating for enjoying the sun while sipping a Quest Coffee Roasters brew and spoiling the owners’ Viszla pup, Banksy whom the café is named after.

 

Have dessert for Sunday brunch with an indulgent plate of Banoffee French toast – dark chocolate coffee ganache, brown sugar bananas, banana ice cream and honeycomb rubble on toasted cinnamon sugar brioche – or devour a berrylicious bowl with lemon myrtle-scented coconut yoghurt, seasonal fruit, sorbet, granola and organic peanut butter.

Frank's Cakes Italian Pasticceria on Scoresby Road in Ferntree Gully isn’t just a cake shop – it’s a cosy café with excellent coffee and delicious food, served in a relaxed vibe. Drop by for breaky or lunch with family and friends and dine under the covered alfresco area, or indoors where cabinets overflow with sweet temptations and the aroma of coffee brewing is hard to resist.

 

Biscoff waffles entice for a Sunday sweet treat for breakfast, or a pancake stack with maple syrup, fresh strawberries and ice cream; don’t forget to check out the creative range of decadent and delicious cakes available to order for your next celebration such as croque en bouche, Black Forest gateau, Mars Bar cake and Nutella cheesecake.
