Swanston Street’s sweet spot swaps out heavy frosting for featherlight chiffon and Southeast Asian profiles. Cake purists come here for tiers that never overwhelm—delicate crumb layers balanced with pandan, ube, or strawberry lychee. Walk-ins can pick up ready-made whole and mini cakes straight from the counter, while night owls stop by until 10pm for chilled dessert boxes and pandan lattes. Slices retain their bakery-fresh softness through the evening, pairing airy creams with touches of chocolate tiramisu or roasted hojicha.
- Southeast Asian Profiles: Signature airy chiffon layers and dessert boxes highlight ube, pandan, and strawberry lychee without heavy sugar.
- Ready-Made Walk-Ins: Grab ready-made whole cakes, mini tiers, and dessert boxes on demand directly from the counter without pre-ordering.
- Late-Night Hours: CBD dessert seekers can drop by until 10pm for late-night cake slices, soft serve, and iced drinks.

Artfully Tailored Celebration Centerpieces
Custom celebratory cakes are meticulously designed and finished, delivering fresh, soft sponge that avoids being overly sweet.

Explore with Tripti Delightfully Light and Balanced Treats
Cakes and dessert boxes feature cloud-like textures and delicate sweetness, satisfying cravings without feeling cloying.
The miilk cloud cake is 100% made of clouds, I’m sure of it. It says it’s part cheesecake, but it is lighter and fluffier than any cheesecake I’ve ever met! It is pure delight.

Smario Ube Cloud Dessert Box
The dessert cake was great and we loved that fluffy ube sponge layered between the ube curd and cream. It wasn’t too sweet, the ube flavour wasn’t that strong and it was such a soft, light and airy cake.
Hungry Piglet Coconut Pandan Cake
Easy to order, good service and the Coconut Pandan cake I bought was a hit. Highly recommended.
Justin Walton First Love Dessert Box
Their signature First Love Dessert Box is super refreshing with flavours of lychee and strawberry 🍓 and the Tropical Paradise is so fruity and fragrant! 🥭 Both cakes were incredibly light, fluffy and not too sweet!

Pandan Latte
The iced coffee had a very subtle pandan flavour- I was afraid it was going to be too overpowering and grainy like some other places but it turned out to be a nice little twist to your typical iced latte
Hungry Piglet Hot Ube Latte
Would still recommend their cakes and especially their hot Ube Latte (w/o coffee)!
Zoella Tay Fuji Melon Soft Serve
My favourite was that melon soft serve, it’s part of their spring collection but I hope it’s here to stay forever because it’s that good!
Hungry Piglet Sunny Side Spam Croissant Bun
I highly recommend trying their Sunny Side Spam Croissant Bun - so flavourful and buttery, and the mayo scrambled egg was delicious!
