The dessert café, serving signature dishes including profiteroles, tiramisu and baklava, will open on the site of Mikel's Coffee which closed in February after opening in November 2020.

The 1,900sqft Western Road unit stands out due to its ornate façade from its history as a bank.

It was changed in October 2019 when a planning application changed its use from “financial service” to a restaurant.

The dessert restaurant is the third of its kind in Western Road with Treatz and Creams Café on the same stretch.
