Henri’s is the creation of Hervey Bay businessman Evan Munroe, who hopes his gourmet desserts will “create excitement and connect people through the shared experience of eating something delicious”.

The business will operate from his home, but one day a week customers will be able to dine at a physical venue, he said.

Originally from Canberra, Mr Munroe has called the Fraser Coast home for the past decade and he and his wife, Holly, currently run HEEA Therapy Services in Scarness, an allied health service provider.
