ENDLESS DESSERTS: Dutton & Wallacetown

ENDLESS DESSERTS

Dutton & Wallacetown

Good thing we spell checked this guide ten times over, because how awkward would it be if we said endless deserts. An easy way to remember the difference is that dessert is spelled with two ‘S’s because you should always savour at least two sweets.

You’re in luck, because Tall Tales Café in Wallacetown is your one-stop-shop, with a post office, variety store, gas station, and restaurant all-in-one place. Chef John Marleitner bakes some of the best pies around with a crust that is out of this world!

Head north to the town of Dutton for another sweet spot, Two Old Crows Studio Café, to savour that second dessert. We know that sharing desserts is a big no-no, but we promise to share your photo if you share it with us!
