Monarch Cakes

Monarch Cakes has been baking from the same recipes for over 80 years. Many of the recipes originated from the original shop in Poland and were brought to Australia and have been used here ever since. Absolutely delicious cakes, tarts and coffee. Lovely and welcoming staff. Definitely recommended.

I have been getting cakes and slices from Monarch cakes for 37 years and hopefully for another 37 years. Wonderful.

Ignore all other cake shops on the street. This place has a romantic vibe with epic jazz playing while you indulge yourself with more cake than one needs.

A good variety of high quality cakes. I have been here a bunch of times over the last few years, and the only issue is it's popularity with tourists during the holiday season making it hard to get a table.

A robust selection classic types of European cakes for those with a sweet tooth that dont like it too sweet. Must try staples are the kugelhopf, plum cake, viennese sacher chocolate and the vanilla/custard slices. So good, I guarantee you will lick the fork clean.

Authentic Eastern European cake shop with all cakes made in store. Charming and quaint. Delicious cakes and wonderful service

Even if it wasn't my first experience with a Kugel, it would have been the BEST I'VE EVER HAD! A mean short Mac to accompany too

We got a strawberry cupcake for my daughter and a mini kooglhoupf to share. I wanted both to be so good. But they were fine. Probably wouldn’t order again.

Best coffee ever! And best cupcakes and cakes. The place exists since 1934 and looks amazing. The owner is super nice:) thank you see you soon!

We came here to meet up with a dear friend. Great cake options and awesome coffee. Everything was really reasonably priced. 10 out of 10

One of the oldest shops in St Kilda, have had many delicious sweets from this place, however, the furniture may need an update due to some falling apart and exposing screws. Other than that, friendly staff, and a large selection of goodies!

Poor service and only interested in money. As a bird lover I was told not to feed the birds yet they throw cooking oil on pidgeons which I'd say is disgusting

I have been here a few times now and recommend it if you can find a table. All of the cakes are fresh and delicious.

One of the first dessert shops on Acland Street and still one of the best. Great old time feel with family made cakes. You will love the experience.

The last of the coffee houses in St. Kilda. Where you can solve the world's problems with the strangely enlightened owners and patrons. If you wear Lycra and drink tumeric soy lattes please don't come and spoil my refuge.
