IS DRIZZL’D REALLY WORTH THE DRIVE

We hear it all the time from new visitors walking through our doors.
“So... is this the place everyone’s been talking about?”
Followed shortly by,
“Okay. This was worth the drive.”

Secret recipe, always made fresh.

In a city known for its food, finding the best dessert in Melbourne can feel like chasing the next big thing. But sometimes, the best isn’t the one making the loudest noise. It’s the one tucked in a local pocket, doing something memorable every single night. That’s what we aim for at Drizzl’d.

We’re based in Moonee Ponds, and while we’re proud locals, we’ve become something of a destination. People drive in from across the North and even further out from Essendon, Brunswick, Coburg, Preston, Footscray, and sometimes all the way from the southeast. Not just for the food, but for the feeling.

It starts with the menu. If you haven’t tried our hot ball doughnuts smothered in Bueno and milk chocolate sauce, topped with crushed biscuits and fresh strawberries, then we’re already off to a sweet start. Our churros? Fried fresh to order, never pre-made. Our shakes are flavoursome, our sauces are exceptional, and the combinations have been perfected over time with real feedback from our regulars. We don’t do “just enough.” We do unforgettable.

And then there’s the timing. We’re open late, every night. If you’ve ever searched for late night desserts in Melbourne or dessert places still open, you’ve probably hit a wall of early closing times or limited options. That’s not our vibe. Whether it’s 9.30pm on a Wednesday or after a night out on Saturday, we’re open, serving hot desserts with a smile.

It’s not just about the sweets, though. It’s the energy in the room. The comfort of knowing you’ve got somewhere to go when everything else is winding down. The music’s just right. The tables are filled with friends catching up, couples laughing over milkshakes, families sharing dessert platters. It’s warm. It’s relaxed. It’s honest.

And if you’re still wondering if Drizzl’d is really worth the trip, we’ll say this:
When someone drives across the city after work just to sit down and enjoy dessert, that says more than we ever could. When they come back and bring someone new the next time, that’s how we know we’re doing something right.

We’re not trying to be everything. We’re just trying to be that place.
The one you remember. The one you come back to. The one you recommend without even thinking twice.

So is it worth the drive?
Come try it and let the dessert do the talking.

Because yeah—you deserve it.
