Located on the quieter side of Carlton North is a quaint little café called Sweet Source, situated along Rathdowne Street. As per the name suggests, this place is home to a delectable array of all things sweet, and is a place where dessert lovers can call home.



Once you step inside, you're engulfed with a sense of warmth, which is especially welcoming when you're hiding from the biting winter cold. The place is brightly lit, with creamy white walls that seem to expand and open up the area inside. The interior décor can be described as quirky elegance, with a blend of bookshelves and dainty matching teapot sets displayed on the upper wall.





There are also sections for savory and sweet treats. And yes, you read right, they do serve savory meals, such as tarts, pies and sandwiches. There are menus on the wall displaying various brunch options, such as muesli and classic French toast, as well as a range of hot and cold beverages. In the sweet section, there is a mouthwatering pyramid of cupcakes showcased in a plethora of colours and decorations, along with a variety of other treats such as cakes and brownies. All orders are placed at the counter, which also provides ease of access if you're in a hurry and want to take-away.





My visit there brought me face to face with a delicious vanilla cupcake, and a passion fruit yo-yo for my sister. Since I was still nursing a cold, I also ordered a hot, tall glass of honey lemon ginger tea, which was delightful and really warmed me to the core.



Although I did feel that the quality of the service didn't quite match up to the cozy atmosphere of the café, the desserts were not a disappointment. It is a pleasant place to relax in, be it with a good book or with a group of friends. It is also definitely the right place to indulge in a bit of sinful sugary treats and some comfort food, right here at the source.
