Why it's worth checking out
musu&co sits on Cardigan Street in Carlton, just north of the Melbourne CBD near the university. A much-loved dessert spot, it's earned a strong reputation for its indulgent, beautifully made sweet creations — the kind of distinctive, crowd-pleasing treats that have become a genuine favourite for those with a sweet tooth.
The appeal is that focus on quality, indulgent desserts in a relaxed, characterful Carlton setting, perfect for a treat after a meal or while exploring the area. In a city that takes its desserts seriously, building a strong following speaks to a place that's getting its sweet creations just right.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 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 dessert, you can usually just drop in and see what's tempting on the day.
