SWEET DESSERT CAFE | Warrigal Rd, Eight Mile Plains

On one particularly sultry Saturday night, we went out to try the new dessert place that opened just around the corner from us. I've been eyeing this place off for a while watching it sprout up ever so slowly every time I drive past it.  

For a sweet "dessert" place, it certainly didn't offer much variety in the dessert apartment. They only had a handful of cakes (which looked like the store bought defrosted type) and two "special" dessert which was creme brulee  and Thai mango rice pudding. Despite lacking in the dessert department, it made up for it in the drinks menu. The cold drinks were served in cute little mason jars which added to the quasi-industrial them that the cafe boasts. All the drinks were splendid (even better as it was a super hot night!) and refreshing with a touch of Asian flare. They ranged from the standard berry smoothies to the green tea frappes and ovaltine milkshakes.

All in all, it is a much welcomed new restaurant in the southside for what is essentially a black whole for late night hangs. However, don't expect too much if you frequent the cafes that litter West End, Paddington and New Farm. Sweet dessert cafe still has much to learn.
