Dello Mano Cake and Brownie Boutique, Wintergarden 

Dello Mano Cake and Brownie Boutique is a go-to for brownies. These original decadent brownies are beautifully hand-crafted and packaged in bite-size portions. Made with real Belgian chocolate for the best flavour profile, these luxury brownies are a labour of love and world-renowned. Plus, they come in a stack of flavours.

Their signature offerings include handmade truffles and chocolate delights that have been inspired by Australian and international flavours, ranging in texture and intensity. With a tonne of chocolate varieties, it can be a task simply to choose a flavour.  

Gelatissimo, Albert St  

When the weather starts to heat up, turn to Gelatissimo on Albert St for a refreshing sweet treat. All the flavours are made fresh in-store by a local artisan gelato maker, using only the freshest ingredients. For chocolate lovers, the wicked double choc brownie, choc caramel fudge made with Lindt and the classic silky milk chocolate will be sure to curb those cravings.

Our favourite is the pain au chocolate, but you can also try their decadent chocolate tarts or Nutella-filled doughnuts.
