Some cafe options around Canberra are below: La Baguette Cafe After visiting for breakfast one morning, I discovered that La Baguette Cafe at the Australian National University (Arts building) bakes an amazing assortment of tarts every day.

Note: I was invited to Tipsy Tea at the White Rabbit Cocktail Room, however all opinions are my own. This was my first visit to the White Rabbit Cocktail Room and I arrived early (for a 2pm start) hoping to take some photos inside.

A few months ago, some Canberra foodies and I did a massive Sydney food weekend. One of our meals was held at Koi Dessert Bar for its set 5 course dinner at $77 per person. The ground floor has a display cabinet filled with an assortment of cakes. These disappeared quickly so I’d recommend buying […] Read more…
