Finding Ivoire

Come early

Popular cakes sell out fast; cinnamon rolls go especially quickly, so order ahead on Instagram to be sure.

A small room

The shop has only a handful of tables; takeaway is easy, and staff will ask how far you are travelling so they can add ice to keep cakes cool.

Ask about alcohol

Some cakes contain alcohol — ask the staff before ordering, especially when buying for children.

The Opera quarter

The shop sits beside the Opera House, near the Park Hyatt — easy to pair with a walk through the centre.
