  • Decadent Homemade Matilda Cake

    Warm up with generous, scratch-made specialties like the warm Matilda chocolate cake served fresh with ice cream.

    We ordered the Matilda hot with some ice cream and it was so delicious. It didn’t taste like it was processed or like it came from Coles.

  • Heartfelt Family Welcome

    Experience genuine, heartwarming hospitality from a local family that takes the time to share stories and make every guest feel at home.

    We just felt very taken care of and very special throughout the whole thing. We will definitely be going back and will definitely want to support this family business.

    It had that perfect homemade feel, like everything was made with so much love and care. Nothing felt rushed or overly commercial, just real, comforting, and sooo satisfying.

    Satisfy serious sweet cravings with rare fairground-style North American funnel cakes loaded with decadent toppings like apple pie and chocolate.

    Next up was the funnel cake. I’ve only seen these once before in Australia and never in Melbourne making it a truly unique (and utterly delicious) offering.

  • Matilda Cake

    We ordered the Matilda hot with some ice cream and it was so delicious. It didn’t taste like it was processed or like it came from Coles. It tasted really homemade and not too sweet.

  • Hot Jam Donuts

    I remember getting my hot jam donuts from Baby J’s food van when they first opened in Hoppers many years ago ! For anyone that hasn’t had the Baby J’s experience, their deserts are to die for.
