The 16 best sweets spots in Greater Bendigo

Amazing food and service as always. Although it’s sad that I won’t be able to have Masons again. I will seriously miss miso infused butter and your sourdough bread! And of course many more delicious dishes that will always remain in my memory. I really admire your talent to create delicious dishes. Thank you so much for giving so many beautiful memories to many of us. Best of wishes 🤍

Fabulous birthday lunch a short stroll from the Bendigo Art Gallery. Great wait staff, amazing food and fabulous selection of wines and cocktails. We will be back.

This place deserves an award it’s just that good. Okay I’ve been here a few times now and you really need to get yourself a table and give it a try because besides the amazing coffee it’s food is absolutely fantastic, staff are super nice and I guess the hardest part is getting a park within the area because it’s a busy little road. I’ll end by saying “Hands down the best Roast chicken you will have”.

MS BATTERHAMS – 10 Mackenzie Street, Bendigo I am a big fan of Bendigo. It is a beautiful town with a vibrancy to it. There is also some good food to be enjoyed and Ms Batterhams is now the number one choice in the town after getting to experience it earlier this week. Located in Mackenzie Quarters the setting is beautiful and you feel good being there. A warm welcome was received as we arrived and I have to say the team looking after us were just superb. Our main server was a local lass who beamed with pride as she spoke about her hometown. It genuinely added to the experience. Let’s talk about the food, because it is very very good. The approach is share plates which is my favourite way to dine. You get to try it all. We began with Croquette de elote with chipotle mayo (order one each at least) . The creaminess of the filling was melt in your mouth good and the flavour just delicious. Saltbush cauliflower was served with a scorched eggplant, and medjool date puree with toasted pepitas. The cauliflower was tender and full of taste and the puree was a surprise treat. It was an unusual blend of flavours but they certainly work together. I love a saganaki but am fussy about it because I have had some of the very best. Ms Batterhams got their offering just right with perfectly fried cheese accompanied by a honey and muscatel dressing and, on this evening, some caramelised figs. Absolutely delicious.. The fish of the day was splendidly grilled Ling with a smoked harissa and tomato sauce that tickled your tongue in the nicest of ways. We paired the fish with roasted kipfler potatoes served with piquillo peppers and chipotle mayo. It was a wonderful way to round out the mains. Thankfully there was room for dessert and my partner enjoyed a beautiful Brulee whilst I indulged in a very naughty but nice Pavlova with poached plums and raspberries accompanied by a saffron and honey ice cream that was as smooth as silk. Ms Batterhams is definitely worth the trip to Bendigo. You can take in the sights and sounds of the town while you are there but, make sure you enjoy a fabulous meal in a gorgeous setting.

We ate here Mother's Day weekend and it was extremely busy. It has a quiet, sleek atmosphere. Love the carpet stops noise travelling. The salad was so good. The sashimi entree was my fave. Burgers were good. Steaks cooked as requested. All of the sides and entrees were enjoyable. For us this establishment had very average service. Very stiff, zero personality. Didn't read their customers well. We had to ask several times for things. Ordered a burger without bacon it came with bacon. Highly recommend the food tho.

Beechworth Bakery Bendigo is a shining example of how a traditional bakery can embrace modern technology while preserving its rich heritage. Nestled in the heart of Bendigo, this beloved establishment seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary efficiency, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. One of the most impressive aspects of the bakery is its state-of-the-art point-of-sale system. This intuitive system enhances the customer experience by displaying each item, complete with a detailed photograph, as it is processed at the register. This not only eliminates any confusion or mistakes in orders but also allows customers to visually confirm their selections in real time. It’s a small but significant upgrade that makes a big difference, ensuring accuracy and a smooth, stress-free transaction. Beyond the technology, Beechworth Bakery remains true to its roots as a traditional country bakery with a rich history. The menu boasts an extensive selection of classic baked goods, from buttery, flaky pastries and hearty meat pies to its famous Ned Kelly pie, rich fruit scones, and perfectly baked loaves of bread. The coffee is exceptional, brewed to perfection, complementing the warm, freshly baked treats. Whether you’re after a quick snack, a leisurely breakfast, or a filling lunch, there’s something to satisfy every craving. Despite the large, open seating area, the soundproofing on the ceiling works wonders in keeping the space comfortable and inviting. Even during peak hours, when the bakery is bustling with activity, the thoughtful acoustic design prevents excessive noise, allowing customers to enjoy their meals in a pleasant and relaxed setting. The overall experience at Beechworth Bakery Bendigo is one of quality, tradition, and innovation. It’s the perfect blend of old-fashioned hospitality with modern convenience, making it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite, catching up with friends over coffee, or simply indulging in a delicious treat, this bakery delivers on every level. Highly recommended!

We had the opportunity to dine here on Saturday night. The decor is beautiful, the view out the huge window, looking into Rosalind Park, stunning. The food and service was impeccable and well deserving of the reputation Alium has work had to gain.

The offerings in Bendigo, for a cheap and cheerful lunch are few and far between. But I’ll definitely be revisiting this cute little patisserie. I had a delicious chicken, cheese and leek pie for lunch and it was delicious. Subtle flavours and a touch of France. Next time I might break the diet for a pastry or two! They were very tempting !

I hosted my law firms Christmas Party on the rooftop and it was wonderful. A great space to make your own, the drinks were great and food just what was needed for the style of function. Thanks to Nat for her hospitality!

Amazing Customer service and the best chocolate I have ever eaten!! Highly recommend the Carmel filled chocolate!! Very addictive and the selection is massive so something for everyone!! Will definitely be back when I’m in Bendigo! It’s a must see place when in the area!

Fabulously huge undercover area showcasing antiques and curios, artwork works and craft works, crockery and cutlery and almost anything else you couldn’t think of. Air conditioned but not icy cold. Well maintained Public toilets. Even a section at the front with a stack of arcade games for the kids (& big kids) for when they enviably get bored. Like a big supermarket, you just pay at the end when you exit, not with individual stall owners. Outside are eateries, sweeteries (?! Chocolates and ice cream), coffee, local artists, and a beautiful living green shady arch. Well worth a stop to fill your day.

I had a good memory here, nice coffee and bakery. And big breakfast never goes wrong, I love the fried beans and onion in it.

Wow! The in-store made ice cream here is a flavor explosion! They also offer a great selection of smoothies, sandwiches, and other goodies. I was blown away by the aromatic Musk and the sweet, tangy White Chocolate Raspberry on my first visit. The texture of the ice cream was so smooth and creamy. My second trip was equally impressive with the decadent Gaytime, the crunchy Biscoff, and the rich Rocky Road. The staff were patient and kind, letting us sample multiple flavors until we found our perfect match. The freshness and quality of the ingredients were evident in every bite.

hands down best boutique dessert place! you will absolutely not regret! so much love and care goes into these creations you can tell whem you eat the cake because not only does it look fancy and high end, it tastes just like a home made dish and the flavours they combine to produce such a magnificient little cake is excellent! the decor makes it look super fancy and boutique like yet its actually more affordable then most other places like it.

Super good bagels, I took away. The matcha was just insane! And the staff seemed friendly although very focused given the world there was.

I just love these guys -the best brittle ever!! I use this as gifts a lot, the peanut is always a hit, while personally I struggle to choose a favourite between the almond and macadamia. Speedy service, great price and unbeatable brittle -- all while supporting a small business in a rural area - ticks all of my boxes. I only gave a 4 for atmosphere only because I've never had to be in touch directly as the website is actually user friendly and the service spot on - so may be a 7 out of 5 atmosphere, but I've not had cause to experience it .... maybe if I visit Bendigo! Thank you!!
