Shortstop Coffee and Doughnuts, Melbourne

Next time you’re in the city, make sure you make a short stop at Shortstop for morning or afternoon tea - coffee and a doughnut to die for!

With flavours changing daily, enjoy fat doughnuts with fillings including apple pie crumble, rhubarb brûlée, coffee creme caramel, glazed crullers (the Australian honey and sea salt is amazing), as well as doughnut cakes with various toppings - earl grey and rose, triple matcha, maple walnut and brown butter and classic vanilla bean glaze. What a treat!

Dining in, each doughnut is served with a glass of sparkling water which is just what you need on standby while indulging in some of these decadent desserts.

Grab a stool at the bar inside where you can spy the goings on of the kitchen, which is fun. There’s also a couple of tables by the window and a bench outside. And of course, takeaway is available.

Be mindful if you come later in the day, your choices will be limited to what’s left!
