Hi all!
The warmer weather is finally here, day light savings in action resulting in longer summer days, more sunlight and a perfect excuse to go out with a group of friends and grab something sweet, cold and decadent!
The following is a list that I’ve compiled on most of the dessert places that are operating in Adelaide (this post has been in draft mode for months! Procrastinator >.< ). Have a squiz and see what tickles your fancy. Ice cream parlour? Dessert bar? Waffles? Strictly chocolate? It’s all here!
