dessertopia by 196below, south melbourne

Attention sweet tooths, does Mamma have the place for you! With glow in the dark cakes, liquid nitrogen ice cream and drinks, Dessertopia in South Melbourne is serving up a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds. 

Their shopfront is hard to miss, with colourful cartoons and festoon lights adorning the windows and awning. Inside, rainbow lighting and black lights let you know you’re in for an immersive experience.

Famous for their glow in the dark night sessions, Dessertopia have recently installed black out blinds so that the kidlets can enjoy the magic of this experience during the day too! With desserts in the shape of iconic pop culture characters like Psyduck, Totoro and Mario’s Super Mushroom to name a few  - it’s hard to believe that these works of art taste even better than they look… but they do! 

There is plenty of seating inside, though they tend to get busy on weekends and nights so Mamma suggests hopping online and booking a table just to be safe.
