High five to those who agree that Sydney has many hidden sweet treats places! In fact, along the everyday busy streets of Newtown, tucked away in a small lane sits a simple small little café that creates a few bizarre yet surprisingly delicious cakes and tarts that one could ever imagine. Imagine a classic crème brulee tart with a fruity twist!
Black Star Pastry is where you will want to visit!
It’s pretty nice to finally found the pastry shop that had been supplying you this very awesome Strawberry & Watermelon Cake. Yes, you heard me right, it’s a strawberry and watermelon cake, and yes, I had been having it (thanks to my awesome housemate) but I’ve yet to visit the cafe until recently.
The cake is simply filled with surprises with each bite. It’s a blend of fruity freshness from the watermelon and sweetness from the strawberries. The watermelon definitely added a crunch to the cake. It comes in a single portion (AUD$6.50) or a full one (AUD$24) that is perfect for you and three other peeps.
So, I was in the mood for new things and this Raspberry Creme Brulee continued to surprise me with a hint of zesty mixed sweetness on top of the usual creamy creme brulee. It’s AUD$6 for one but totally worth the try. Take it with tea or latte; it would definitely fix your teatime cravings.
This little café is tucked away in a small lane, along the busy streets of Newtown, on King Street. A small space filled with people of colourful backgrounds, sipping their cup of coffee away on this very windy day.
What really add that magic spark to this place are their little creative creations of sweet treats. Ranging from the Strawberry and Watermelon Cake to Raspberry Crème Brule. Desserts that I’m pretty sure you simply cannot get it just anywhere.

There are now a couple of places that are selling watermelon cake in Singapore. I found one that taste almost the same as Black Star Pastry.
It’s a small home bakery, check out: http://www.instagram.com/cquasg
It’s pretty awesome. At least, all the watermelon cake lovers like me don’t need to fly to Aussie….
