1. Sonder Desserts
Sonder, the realisation that every person you see has a life as vivid and complex as your own, a heavy concept for the lightest of condiments. Sonder Desserts provides fruity, tasty treats, light on the ennui, but a perfect cure for your taste buds lacking delicious sensations. Japanese flavours permeate throughout every part of this excellent dessert bar. One of the best places to get Mochi in Brisbane.
Address: 7c Farne St, Sunnybank Hills
Hours: Tues – Sun, 1 – 9pm
2. Sweet Tooth & Co
Sweet Tooth & Co, a ‘virtual’ dessert bar exists like the Star Wars resistance. They hide in the shadows, only ever seen in flash sugar assaults against the death star of our faces. If you’re lost there, fair enough. In English, they exist mostly as a delivery service to give you an insane array of ridiculous dessert combos. A huge sandwich cookie with Nutella as the filling? Done. Waffles with everything on top? You got it. As dessert places go, this may be the most likely to put you in a coma.
Address: Shop 3/36 Cole St, Alderley
Phone: (07) 3160 8149
Hours: Tues – Sat, 9am – 2pm
3. Messina
Messina is pretty much a household name at this point. The gelato goodness has spread all across Australia and clearly, it’s become beloved by many. Brisbane has more than a couple of stores at this point and you’re even able to grab boxes at your local Coles or Woolies. It’s scorching outside, keep yourself cool with an egg-free treat.

5. Nodo Donuts
The perfect answer to the question ‘Want another one?’ Nodo Donuts are an ideal accompaniment to a good time. Doing big ol’ boxes to take away or individuals to snack in, Nodo commits hard to their gluten-free premise. Making sure you get to #eatdonutsforbreakfast they do new batches daily, but will only have stock until sold out. Might have to beat an old lady with a stick to get then.
