Tarts Anon

Tarts Anon sits on Sackville Street in Collingwood, one of Melbourne's most vibrant and characterful inner-north suburbs. A much-loved bakery specialising in custard tarts, it's earned an outstanding reputation — the kind of dedicated, craft-focused spot whose beautifully made tarts have developed something of a cult following among Melbourne's dessert lovers.

The appeal is that focus on genuinely excellent, freshly made custard tarts (its signature) and a welcoming Collingwood setting, perfect for a sweet treat, a coffee-and-tart stop or something special to take away. A bakery that's nailed one beloved thing and become known for it really stands out, and the outstanding feedback speaks to a spot that's genuinely delighting its customers.

With a 4.8 rating from nearly 200 reviews, it's clearly a real favourite. The tarts and any other treats, daily baking, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular specialist bakery can sell out (its tarts are known to go fast) and gets busy, so it's worth checking current details and arriving early or ordering ahead before a special trip — particularly if you've got your heart set on the custard tarts at Tarts Anon in Collingwood.
