These giant, gooey, over-the-top creations will be sure to go down a treat. With a monthly changing menu, Munchies is a small Canberra based business baking and delivering some very chunky New York-style cookies.
Available to pre-order for pick up or delivery, they’re fully loaded with flavour and have some drool worthy options that rotate monthly – think: Rafaello, Smores, Pistachio Matcha, Spiced Chai Latte and more.
Slide into their DMs to order yourself or pop into Café Blanco in Canberra to try one of the three exclusive flavours: Peanut Butter Jelly Bomb, Chocolate Chip, and Biscoff. Hungry yet?
Matcha Bingsu at Bunny Beans Night Café

If you haven’t been to this Japanese-style dessert café, consider this your sign. And while everything on the menu is worth trying, it’s the fluffy Matcha Bingsu that deserves a spot on your Insta grid.
Shaved ice, drizzled with our house-made matcha sauce, and topped with warabimochi and azuki red bean, the umami taste of the matcha balances well with the sweet ice cream, and the ooze of the ingredients makes for a picture-perfect moment.

Fricken’s Dessert in a Can
Craving dessert on the go? You’ll want to crack open one of these. Equal parts aesthetically pleasing and practical, Fricken in Braddon has launched a new dessert menu where everything comes in a can. You read that right.
Choose from the Lemon Lush (layered lemon curd, Mascarpone cream and crushed biscuit), the Biscoff Crunch (layered Biscoff cheesecake and crushed Biscoff biscuit drizzled with Biscoff spread), or a classic Tiramisu. Take it home to indulge in comfort.
Did we mention that the Lemon Lush is also gluten-free?

The Dubai Pistachio Tiramisu at Space Kitchen

Rich mascarpone, espresso-soaked layers, and the golden crunch of kadaif pastry…you’ll want to get this in your mouth ASAP.
Combining three of the best desserts you can order (in our humble opinion), one bite of this handmade sweet treat and you’ll feel like you’re on a flight straight to Dubai.

The Earl Grey Mille Crêpe Cake at Bite & Savour

This decadent multi-layer dessert originated in France, was popularised by a Japanese pastry chef, and has quickly become a ‘must-try’ for those with a sweet tooth – and it’s always a delicious choice.
Head along to premium bakery Bite & Savor in the city to try their take: the Earl Grey Mille Crêpe Cake. Think paper-thin layers stacked with silky cream and infused with the delicate aroma of Earl Grey tea.
Open until 10 pm Monday to Saturday, it’s a light and refined way to finish your night.

The Cinnamon Scroll from Sweet Bones

It’s a classic for a reason. Baked fresh daily and topped with their secret recipe cream cheese frosting, this vegan dessert has something of a cult following in Canberra.
And with cinnamon scrolls constantly popping up on our FYPs (just us?), it looks a like a trip to Scullin is on the cards.
