Black Star offers so much more than its Instagram-famous strawberry and watermelon cake, which kicked off a new wave of patisserie-forward bakeries in Sydney. Innovation continues at its contemporary Newtown cafe, where East Asian flavours are woven into aesthetically driven desserts including a black sesame cheesecake resembling a Japanese rock garden and a “mug” made with rich cocoa pastry filled with airy, matcha mousse.
Good to know: Return for monthly chiffon cake specials in flavours such as tiramisu or ube.
