Where do you go to when that sweet tooth comes knocking? The next time you find yourself in need of a super indulgent sweet treat, check out any one of these unique dessert hot spots in Joburg.
The FunEatery
A while back, we visited this spot, and have been returning over and over ever since! The FunEatery at the Heathway Centre in Randburg is a must-visit if you’re looking for unique sweet treats in a unique spot. Think amazing milkshakes, bubble waffles in an array of flavours from sweet to savoury, and much more! And what makes this spot so unique is their seating layout. You can either sit on the ground floor or sit up high in their booths. One of our favourite bubble waffles at this sweet spot is definitely the Willy Wonky – a sweet bubble waffle filled with homemade chocolate sauce, chocolate muesli crunch, caramel drizzle, strawberries, and chocolate ice cream!
