YO-BAR

YO-BAR sits on Smith Street in Collingwood, one of Melbourne's most vibrant inner-north strips, famous for its mix of bars, restaurants, shops and nightlife. A dessert spot in this location is perfectly placed — somewhere to indulge a sweet tooth right in the thick of one of the city's liveliest neighbourhoods.

The appeal is exactly that: somewhere to round off a night out or satisfy a craving in a buzzing, energetic setting. Smith Street has a strong, characterful food-and-drink scene, and earning a near-flawless reputation among all that competition is no small feat.

A 4.9 rating from more than 570 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a place getting its desserts and its service right. Menus, seasonal specials, opening hours and pricing change, and Smith Street gets busy in the evenings and on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a casual dessert stop, you can usually just drop in and see what's tempting on the day, then dive back into the Collingwood buzz.
