Breakfast ramen or late-night treats – the choice is yours at The New Black and Cakes and Shit

Taste the sweetness from Brisbane’s new mobile dessert dispensary Gelato à go-go

Although the summer days are waning, gelato season is a year-round occurrence for us perpetually hot Queenslanders. A hot-to-trot food truck is set to hit the streets of Brisbane this week, slinging scoops of gourmet gelato almost directly into our mouths and we can’t wait. Gelato à go-go is putting wheels to asphalt and dispensing Italian-inspired desserts from a smartly appointed and beautifully restored vehicle. more

Hot scoop! Ungermann Brothers opens its swingin’ new ice-cream parlour

The last time we saw Ben Ungermann, he was winning our hearts (and subsequently breaking them) as the eventual runner-up on 2017’s series of MasterChef. After his hugely successful run on television, Ben immediately set out capitalising on his star turn by opening up one of the most anticipated dessert destinations with his brother Danny. The boys have recently opened up Ungermann Brothers Ice-Cream parlour in Ipswich, immediately winning us over again with a killer range of icy treats. more

Fortitude Valley’s DoughLord eyes Brisbane’s dessert crown

Brisbane’s dessert scene is booming, which is great, except for the fact that it’s hard to decide which treat you should blow your dough on when the cravings strike. DoughLord is the newest entrant in the fight for your patronage, and it is making a great argument in its own favour with a flavoursome range of edible cookie dough. That’s right – you no longer have to run the risk of an upset stomach eating the pre-packaged stuff. DoughLord’s dough is safe to eat and comes packed with a range of toppings and soft-serve ice-cream to boot. more

Ditch the roses – Sweety’s Treat Boxes are a gift worth giving

At this time of year, we tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves to find the perfect gift. It’s not just the festive period we do this in, either. Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries – the opportunities for gift giving are nearly endless. One thing almost everyone can enjoy is a big ol’ box of doughnuts and assorted confectionary, which is why Sweety’s Treat Boxes is a big deal. This new doughnut delivery service has just launched in Brisbane, and is distributing a huge amount of tasty treats – even the covetable doughnut bouquets – just in time for Christmas. more

Indulge in guilt-free desserts after dark with Kiss the Berry’s new Up Late menu

Choosing between indulging in dessert and maintaining a summer bod is a constant mind battle. Like, sure we all try and keep active, but it's easy to undo all of that hard work with a one gluttonous dessert that more often than not involves a doughnut and/or lashings of ice-cream (and possibly vanilla cream). Well, friends, gluttony doesn't have to be the devil. Ever-popular acai joint Kiss the Berry now transforms into a dessert hang by night, launching its new Up Late menu full of sweet treats that are completely guilt free. Yep, you'll never (ever) have to question dessert again. more

Enjoy a double scoop of goodness at La Macelleria’s new West End gelateria

It’s not unusual for people to travel across town to get their fix of authentic Italian gelato from La Macelleria, and if you don’t understand why then you clearly haven’t tried it. La Macelleria’s Teneriffe gelataria has been putting smiles on dials for years with its signature brand of authentic Italian gelato, which is why it is a really big deal that a second location has just opened in West End. Yep, that’s right – La Macelleria is now open on Montague Road, meaning those south of the river don’t have to travel to get some gelato in their gob. We still would, though – it’s just that damn good. more

It’s a gelati party! Gelato Messina has finally arrived in South Brisbane

We’ve been waiting oh so patiently for this day to arrive, but now it’s finally here we're not sure what to do with our hands. Full-blown pandemonium is threatening to break out with the news that at 5:00 pm this afternoon, Wednesday March 29, Gelato Messina will open the doors to its very first Brisbane gelato parlour. We’re so happy we could cry, but we'll compose ourselves just long enough to avoid watering down our sweet, sweet gelato. We’re officially saying goodbye to our summer bods without a shred of remorse – Gelato Messina is here now, and that’s all we need. more

Stick a fork (or your face) into some sweet treats from Albion Provisions

If heaven exists on Earth then we’d put money down that it’s located at Albion Provisions, which has opened today on Sandgate Road. We’re not just paying lip service (unless you call smushing cupcakes into your mouth lip service) – this is a seriously worship-worthy institution. This new manufactory of mouth-watering goodness comes from the team behind James Street’s dessert destination Jocelyn’s Provisions and is churning out cakes on cakes on cakes, as well as a scrumptious bounty of sweet and savoury treats for Jocelyn’s fans (new and old) to enjoy. more
