Walking through The Bakehaus is like walking through a Pinterest inspo board… but much, MUCH yummier.

The second you step through the door, you instantly forget that this place is nestled between factories in Mordialloc’s industrial area. Mamma suggests visiting when the dappled sunshine filters through the cake shop’s sheer curtains, creating a dream like setting that is only enhanced by their dreamy cakes and sweet treats. But quite frankly… any time is the perfect time for cake.
Mamma and the 5 year old started with a toasted ham and cheese croissant, for **balance**. What was initially ordered as a means of diminishing Mamma’s guilt about cake for lunch ended up being one of the best toasted croissants ever. BIG CALL. The super buttery, flakey pastry coupled with all its cheesy,smokey goodness was next level.
Now, on to the main event! It was hard to choose between all of the delicious things in the display cabinet (the NYC cookies and cinnamon scrolls were calling Mamma’s name) but in the end, we could not go past the incredibly decadent Biscoff cheesecake and Matilda-esque three layer chocolate cake (IYKYK). Mamma washed it all down with one of The Bakehaus’ signature iced strawberry matcha lattes which, besides being completely hypnotic to look at, was sooooo good.

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.

A cafe dedicated to sweet treats? This mamma says YES PLEASE!

Mamma’s 4 year old made easy work of the strawberries and cream milkshake the size of her head while mister fancy pants only stopped crying once he tasted their amazing Kunefe. The “big kids” couldn’t go past the decadent and ultra creamy San Sebastian cheesecake complete with warm chocolate sauce **drool**.
If you’ve managed to score a child free date night, mamma suggests heading here after dark for a sweet treat since they’re open until late!
