Mawa Sweets Melbourne
A much-loved dessert and sweets spot in Southbank, rated 4.8 across more than 400 reviews.
Why it's worth checking out
Mawa Sweets sits on Queens Bridge Street in Southbank, just across the Yarra from the Melbourne CBD. A much-loved spot for desserts and sweets, it's earned a strong reputation for its indulgent, beautifully made treats — the kind of distinctive, crowd-pleasing offering that's become a genuine favourite for those with a sweet tooth.
The appeal is that focus on quality, indulgent sweets and desserts in a convenient Southbank location, perfect for a treat while exploring the riverside precinct or after a meal nearby. With the river, the arts precinct and the city's attractions all close by, it slots naturally into a relaxed day or evening out.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, seasonal specials, opening hours and pricing change, and a popular dessert spot gets busy in the evenings and on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a casual sweet treat, you can usually just drop in and see what's tempting on the day while enjoying the Southbank surrounds.
