How we read reviews →Thai Tea Avalanche Bingsu and brûléed shokupan turn dessert into theatre on La Trobe St.
Cosy two-level dessert cafe with filament bulbs, terrazzo tables and a low-key K-pop soundtrack; charming but tight, and gets genuinely squished and loud during weekend peaks.
Glossy pastries displayed under glass cloches at the counter; QR-code table ordering; desserts torched and plated to order; dishes staggered out so nothing sits wilting on the table.
A Thai reviewer confirms the Thai tea flavour is genuinely Thai, though the wider menu blends Thai bingsu with Japanese shokupan toast rather than following one single heritage.
Desserts run $22-27 with a 15% weekend surcharge, and while several reviewers call it pricey or small for the cost, most feel the presentation and rich flavours justify it.
