Cafe Bear and Scoobs’ new dessert bar, I Still Want Dessert, will leave customers wanting more with a delicious range of desserts, cakes, slices and cocktails.
Mark (Bear) and David (Scoobs) started up the dessert bar in mid-2017 as part of Cafe Bear and Scoobs.
As David explained, the secret to the delicious desserts is his partner, both in life and business; cafe manager and head chef Mark Butcher.
“Mark and I met more than seven years ago,” David said.
“He’s been a chef all his life and is passionate about food and people, hence the cafe’s slogan: Combining a love of food with a love of people.
“The whole idea behind the cafe is fresh, value for money food. Everything is made in-house by Mark and the other two chefs and Mark combines his dual passions of cooking and people at the cafe and regularly gets amongst the customers to talk to them about their experience.”
For those who can’t choose from the cafe’s great selection of cakes and slices, Mark has three signature tasting platters: Chocolate Overload, Citrus/Berry and the aptly-named Ever-Changing Tasting Plate.
Along with sweeter offerings, I Still Want Dessert serves red and white wine, beer and cider as well as classic cocktails from 3pm to 9.30pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These include daiquiris, pina coladas, mojitos, margaritas and espresso martinis.
The cafe also serves a large range of breakfast and lunch options throughout the day with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available.
“The North Geelong cafe is good value for money, wheelchair-accessible, family-friendly and puppy-friendly with an alfresco area and plenty of parking,” David says.
Cafe Bear and Scoobs is open 7am to 3pm Monday to Wednesday, 7am to 9:30pm Thursday to Friday and 8am to 9:30pm on Saturday at 1/18 Thompsons Road, North Geelong.
