Why it's worth checking out
Sweet Canteen brings indulgent desserts to Driver Lane in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. With 481 reviews behind its 4.3 rating, it has built a strong following.
The appeal is well-made, indulgent desserts with a loyal following — perfect for a sweet treat, a catch-up or rounding off an evening in the city. Its tucked-away city-laneway location, in one of Melbourne's characterful lanes, makes it an easy and rewarding find.
Dessert offerings, seasonal items and trading hours change over time, and popular items can sell out. If you've got your heart set on something particular, it's worth checking current details directly with the venue before you visit.
