Black Star Pastry – the cult Sydney patisserie renowned for its "Australia’s most Instagrammed dessert" – originally opened its St Kilda branch as a pop-up. Three years, a pandemic, and thousands of slices of its famous cakes later, the store was revamped in 2022 and is now a permanent fixture along the street of Acland.
The futuristic fit-out includes stadium-style seating and a sleek service counter, with a huge tilted mirror installation that makes the space feel twice its actual size (also perfect for your mirror selfies!). To cater for the inevitable weekend rush, there’s more seating on the footpath outside.
