INDULGE YOUR SWEET SIDE AT THIS ASIAN INSPIRED PATISSERIE

Apologies in advance to your dentist.

Were you born with a sweet tooth? Same and srsly mum and dad, could you not have tweaked our DNA to favour lettuce and carrot sticks? This makes driving past a patisserie and not stopping in for a cheeky sugar hit is a totally foreign… and downright offensive… concept.

So, when we spotted Delothor Patisserie, a glorious little gem in Southport’s Davenport Street, it made our day/week/month/you get the picture, we were ex.ci.ted. Pumping out sensational Asian inspired pastries, desserts and drinks, our enthusiasm exploded when we realised it’s a double decker scenario, with not one but TWO levels of pure pastry pleasure.

Our blood pressure may go up a few digits, but we are so DOWN with our adorable new patisserie BFF.

Founders Alexia Kang and her cousin have a backstory that will motivate many-a-budding pastry guru, and we love that sort of thing. Starting small by renting a teeny tiny side of a commercial kitchen to bake their goodies, the initial blood, sweat and tears soon paid off. ord spread like wild flour of their pastry prowess, demand soared, and the rest as they say is history. Snapping up a prime position in the GC CBD and enlisting JIC Projects to create their dream space, not only does this involve a lot of acronyms, but it culminated in the dreamy Delothor space.

With a predominantly white, sage, and moss green colour palette, #WeDie. The juxtaposition of different te tures and finishes also has us fangirling, incorporating all the usual on-trend (and utterly irresistible) suspects; vertical veejay panels slat wall panels wooden floors textured subway tiles, and sleek marble surfaces. Extra points are awarded for the feature arches because they are our design equivalent of pastries. Translation, we are #ForeverObsessed.

ownstairs you ll find cabinets consistently filled to the brim with fabulously flaky goodness which you can either grab and go or pop upstairs to savour the moment in house. ersonally we err on the side of the latter because it s a way cuter setting than our disorderly desk plus we don t have to share. ow the uestion on every elothor goer s lips is what should order and how many should order n one sitting ell we re singing the praises of the Buttercream Macarons and bonus you can buy a few to take back to the office to spoil your colleagues and jokes you ll inhale the lot. f Fresh Cream Cake is more your jam they don t make em much better than this and yes anna so that includes you iao nheritance. nother crowd fave is the humble Strawberry Croissant perfect for breakfast on the run morning tea lunch an afternoon snack supper dessert and yeah it s ver.sa.tile. To well and truly churn your butter pair your choice with an e pertly brewed coffee or tea and live your best pastry and caffeine fuelled life. o ne t time you re outhport bound passing through or actually going nowhere near the place pastry pining peeps take head elothor is old oast for patisserie perfection.
