Why it's worth checking out
Sulbing Dessert Cafe sits on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, a leafy, established inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne with a busy student-and-shopping strip. Part of the well-known Sulbing group, it's a much-loved dessert cafe specialising in Korean desserts — particularly bingsu, the popular Korean shaved-ice treat — the kind of fun, distinctive spot that's become a genuine favourite for something sweet and a little different.
The appeal is that combination of delicious Korean desserts (bingsu especially), a fun, welcoming setting and a great Glenferrie Road location, perfect for a sweet treat, a shared dessert with friends or a cooling indulgence. A dessert cafe with a genuine specialty and a distinctive point of difference really stands out, and Sulbing has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 210 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The dessert menu, bingsu and other treats, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular dessert cafe gets busy on warm evenings and weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a delicious Korean dessert, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Sulbing on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn.
