Naga Thai
There’s something about Thai desserts that is so exciting. Lashings of fresh fruits like mango and coconut, ultra-sweet flavours like pandan and fragrant additions like rose water and jasmine add uniqueness and freshness. Naga Thai has a rotating menu and are constantly blowing us away with their creative combos, ranging from mango Basque cheesecake to dark chocolate mousse and ginger coconut sticky rice pudding.

Miss Sophia’s Gelateria
A step up from your standard ice cream store, Miss Sophia’s Gelateria leans into all the extras. Decadent flavours fill the cabinets, with the likes of rocky road, milk and cookies, and white choc, raspberry and fudge brownie taking up regular trays. And that’s just the beginning. Once you’ve picked your poison, move over to the toppings bar for even more special additions. Shakes and sundaes are also on the menu, should you be that way inclined.

Sonder Dessert
Located in Sunnybank, a cultural and foodie mecca, Sonder pays homage to traditional and modern Japanese cuisine.
Highlighting Japan’s unique flavour profiles by using high-quality matcha, yuzu, beni imo and sakura, no detail is missed when it comes to crafting these delightful desserts.
Whilst their picture-perfect creations may look too good to eat, we strongly recommend you sample their range of floats, parfaits and specialty desserts.
