About these results
Save room. From gelato and soft serve to cakes, pastries and late-night sweets, these are Canberra's spots for a sugar hit or a proper dessert after dinner.
Listings are compiled from each venue's own published information and Google Places data, and ordered by Spot Score — a composite of attributed ratings, review volume, category fit and information freshness, not a firsthand review. Hours-based filters use published opening hours, which are not kitchen or last-order times. Sponsored placements are labelled and never counted in results. Spotted an error? Send a correction.

Can I filter dessert spots by suburb or price?+
