Our little river city has been working overtime to catch up with its arguably more cosmopolitan counterparts, and we’re well and truly in the running now.

Paddington Social’s New Menu is Packed With Bangers

You’re going to have to make a few trips to Paddington this month to sample the array of goodies this beloved local cafe is slinging. One that has particularly caught our eye is this matcha soft serve croissant cone, topped with a salted honey croissant biscuit. Who knew so many of our favourite things could be combined in such a tidy treat!

For those after something fruity, the mango, coconut and pandan sticky rice topped croissant is your designated order. Don’t sleep on it, though, as once the month is out, these goodies will be gone!
