About SULHWA AUSTRALIA

Tucked into Little Collins, this snug Melbourne nook serves finely shaved Korean snow bingsu calibrated with balanced, low-key sweetness. Regulars make a beeline for the injeolmi bowl—fluffy shaved ice dusted with roasted soybean powder, chewy mochi, red bean, and a splash of condensed milk. For warm afternoons, the muskmelon bowl layered with melon granita keeps things brisk and cooling. The pastry case runs on playful details: wobbly animal-shaped Yao Yao mango puddings bathed in evaporated milk, tangy yogurt mochi cakes, and thick tiramisu toast dusted in cocoa. Seating is compact, service moves fast via table QR codes, and pairs linger over bubbly yuzu ades alongside light strawberry dacquoise.

  • Signature Bingsu: Finely shaved, snow-light ice layered with roasted soybean powder, mochi, and fresh fruit like muskmelon.
  • Photogenic Pastries: Playfully shaped Yao Yao mango puddings and yogurt mochi cakes crafted with restrained sweetness.
  • Cozy CBD Vibe: A compact Little Collins hangout suited for cocoa-dusted tiramisu toast, dacquoise boxes, and sparkling yuzu ades.
