How we read reviews →South Melbourne's paint-your-own-cake cafe with standout matcha and Thai congee.
A tiny, whimsical cafe with a distinctly modern aesthetic. colourful cake-painting stations, pastel touches, and an Instagrammable setup near South Melbourne Market. Cosy and relaxed on quiet weekdays; chaotic and crowded on weekends.
Cake painting activity with unlimited buttercream colour palette ($17.90 per person); homemade strawberry jam used in specialty drinks; Thai congee with house-made youtiao (Chinese doughnut); regular cake painting night events at $40.
Thai congee with traditional youtiao reflects genuine Thai-influenced home cooking; miso pasta and Australian cafe items layer over this base, creating a personal fusion menu rather than a single cultural tradition.
Reasonably priced for the activity ($17.90 cake painting, $9 specialty coffees). Weekend 15% surcharge and additional card surcharges are a noted irritant. Strong value on weekdays with no surcharges.
