One of the latest dessert bars to open in Adelaide also doubles as a wine bar. Located towards the King William Street end of Waymouth Street, this venue has a long and narrow floor plan that has many twists and turns. A counter full of sweets made off site greets you at the entrance. A…

Dough
Dough is a bakery located in right in the heart of the Adelaide Central Markets. They’re known for their breads, cakes, pastries, tarts and assortment of sweets. Today, I ordered their Carrot Cake with a Cream Cheese and Crushed Walnut Icing. This classic cake was beautifully presented and well executed. The cake had a firm…
Swedish Tarts – Henley Beach
When it comes to food, there’s not much of a Swedish presence in Adelaide. If you’re looking for something a bit nicer than the cafeteria at IKEA, then Swedish Tarts is probably your best bet. With 3 stores in Adelaide, I visited one of their newer seaside stores at Henley Beach. As their name suggests,…
Wave Gourmet Cafe
Wave is a gourmet supermarket, bar and cafe all in one. The whole place is spacious and beautifully laid out, with the supermarket and grocery section on one side and a cafe on the other. There is a breakfast menu, a normal menu, desserts and beverages on offer, and if you still can’t decide, you…
Providore
Shopping in the Central Markets and have a bit of a sweet tooth? Well, look no further than the Providore. The sweets are fresh and handmade, and there’s so much on offer, you’ll be spinning around in circles. From the top of my head there were chocolates, cookies, cakes, muffins and an assortment of sweets….
Naughty Spot
Naughty Spot is a quaint little store set in the popular Hutt Street cafe precinct. The menu is simple with a selection of Belgian waffles, baguettes (only available during the week) and beverages to choose from. The items on offer are constantly changing with a focus on premium locally sourced products wherever possible. Even the…
Whisk Patisserie
Whisk Patisserie is set in a nice historical building just off the tram stop on Goodwood Road. The decor is basic with a few modern touches here and there. Behind the counter, they have a selection of premade meal options as well as your sweet and savoury items. Here for the sweet stuff, I took…
Book In Love Cafe
The Book In Love Cafe is a 7 bedroom upper floor apartment turned dessert store. The decor is tacky with pictures that have literally been stuck on. Each room is filled with desks, chairs and shelves straight from IKEA. There is a considerable number of books, but they’re all written in Chinese. The dessert menu…
ChurrOZ
ChurrOZ is a food truck that roams around Adelaide serving freshly made churros. Using natural local ingredients, no artificial colours or preservatives, and cooked in a cholesterol free canola oil, these Latin American donuts are the healthiest you’re going to get (if you can call them healthy!). There are basically two types of churros served…
Cocolat – Henley Beach
A new Cocolat has opened at Henley Beach and is conveniently located metres away from the beach. Situated in a long and narrow store, the venue itself is deceptively large. With such a small frontage, I did feel the place lacked natural light towards the rear of the building. Today, I had their Baileys Embrace….
