Polka Dot

@ 601 King Street, Newtown


**Polka Dot has now been replaced by another sweet treat sensation: Mak Mak Macarons. Full review coming soon.

This place used to be "by appointment only" but has just of late opened its doors to the public. The hours are restricted - something like 10-5 everyday and so is the selection. When entering the premises I thought I'd be met with jars upon jars of delictable sweets. Instead I was probably met with a selection of 10. Not too impressive in all honesty.

The feel inside Polka Dot is definitely boutiquey. You know the kind where, when you enter, you feel really uncomfortable because it's so open and there's hardly anyone in there. Oh, and also because it feels like whoever is inside is judging you over whether you truly "belong" to be standing there. Yes, it feels like that. The decor is cute, lots of white and baby colours. And, after mulling over a couple of jars of macarons and general biscuits I finally landed on a couple of liked.

Purchased was one strawberries and cream macaron and three speciality cookies. The total running cost of my "snack"? $14. The macaron was nothing special, but the cookies were well treated. Exceptionally even on all surfaces, decorated to perfection and the taste was well and truly overflowing with quality. Would I return? Maybe if I were a millionaire.
