4075 | Where To Go If You’re Craving Sweet Treats
Author // Georgina Auton, Place Graceville
If you’re anything like us, when the clock strikes 2pm it’s time for a sugar fix.
Forget MnMs (we can’t BELIEVE we just said that), blocks of chocolate and chewing gum.
Instead, try chowing down on some of the BEST sweet treats that our area have to offer!
We’ve made a list to help out. You’re definitely about to go into sugar overload...sorry!

The Cupcake Taste
There’s nothing better than biting into a light, fluffy cupcake.
Enter - The Cupcake Taste, who have seriously got cupcakes sussed
Forget just plain vanilla (although their vanilla cupcakes are ace!)
Instead think mint choc, cookie dough and even espresso. Whatever you imagine,they probably have.
If they don’t...there’s always catering options!

With two stores, Corinda and Graceville, you’ll be drooling from the second you enter and the smell of fresh pastries hits your nostrils.
The Graceville store really specialises in beautiful desserts, but the Corinda store does have a smaller selection available too.
Everything is baked with love using the best ingredients and the bakers endeavour to stick as close to the original recipes as possible.
It’s worth it, trust us!

Graceville Fine Foods
You guys...the store may look like any regular store from the outside, but it’s inside magic is made.
You have to stop by and check out their cabinets.
Wendy (the owner and head cook) makes some of the BEST brownies in Brisbane.
If you’re thinking “How could a brownie be anything special”, think again.
Wendy bakes raspberry spiked brownies, Turkish delight and pistachio brownies and even Mars Bar brownies which are so rich and decadent. And only $5!
You’re going to want to take everything in their cabinets home with you, we promise!

Three Girls Skipping
Three Girls Skipping always have their cabinets LOADED with delicious cakes and goodies.
There’s nothing better than a massive slice of cake in the afternoon, but be sure to race in quick!
These guys regularly sell out of their awesome cakes and locals are pretty smitten with their delicious baked goods (and the rest of their menu!)

Another fantastic cafe in Graceville is Fraiche, who’ve always got plenty of sweet treats to choose from.
With salted caramel and pecan slices, cannoli and more, you just have to stop by and see what goodies are in their cabinets today!
Their amazing staff are always up for a chat or happy to recommend a delicious treat.
Their rotating specials menu often also contains other sweet items, so make sure to keep an eye on their Facebook or Instagram for updates.

Lick! Ice Cream
Finally, if you’re after something a bit colder, be sure to pop into Lick!
Located on Honour Avenue, these guys regularly rotate their flavours (particularly for special events like Father’s Day or Christmas) and there’s no knowing what will be in their cabinets each week!
Don’t stress though - their classic flavours are always there and you definitely can’t go wrong with any of their flavours because they’ve all been perfected over many years so they’re the best they can be!
They guys make the ice cream for the Ekka Strawberry Sundae so you can trust that they know ice cream!
