I love the idea of a dessert train , sit down and see what comes around and when you find something you like take it. I was there on Saturday night , the take away section had a line out the door but surprisingly the train was almost empty. Seated straight away and given a small menu/list and a glass of water. The design of the place it feels fun if that makes scene, bright colours , macaroons painted the walls and cartoon like gear wheels in the middle of the train. The staff are very friendly and passionate when taking about the dishes.
As I sat down, I noticed some figurines coming along with signs like ‘bring it on’ , ‘feed me’ and ‘grandmas soap’ which was a nice fun touch and you can see it invokes a reaction from others as it passed in front of them. It worked like a typical sushi train with dishes on coloured plates which corresponded to their price, $8.50 , $9.50 and $10.50. The portion sizes were quite large so most people would be full after one or two (I had one and a half).
The only bad thing was that there was not much variety coming around on the train. As I said at the start I love concept and will come back again for sure. Its also open till midnight on Fridays and weekends so it makes for a great post dinner or night time indulgence.

The dessert train seems to be getting a few mixed reviews lately. I think its something I’ll check out once it picks up a bit. I get this feeling that there must be more plans on the way for the dessert train and its variety. Although I still think its a great idea and a fun novelty!
And you know the food will be excellent quality!
Hey Apple,
Yea there is not much choice but whats there is good & if you don’t see something you want you can go. Its defiantly worth checking out it think…
Cat bus from Totoro!!! <3 my absolute all time favourite movie ^^
A little pricey but I do like the idea of a dessert train
Im a big Totoro fan too!
Its is expensive at $10 a plate,it can add up to an expensive dessert…
That’s it, you sold me. Totoro is one of my fave movies ever and catbus rocks, so I’ll have to check it out…
Cute little catbus! I’ve been wanting to check out this place for a while but have been waiting for the hype to die down a little. The train idea is pretty fantastic though – will have to stop by soon because I’m really diggin’ that coffee brulee.
