1. Get this chocolate overload into your tummy
For some, Easter is all about chocolate. Well, at C.R.E.A.M on Jetty Road in Brighton, the chef has cooked up a French Toast, hotcross bun, icecream sandwich with Nutella swirl, chopped Easter eggs, fresh chopped strawberries and maple syrup because for some, chocolate just isn’t enough.
Available until the end of Easter, so book in now if this is something you will not be able to live without.
Find C.R.E.A.M at 4/49 Jetty Rd Brighton.
2. Enjoy a Sunday Sesh on the Easter long weekend
Cry Baby is teaming up with Seamore’s over in Henley Square for a massive Sunday sesh by the beach.

Pre-sale tickets have sold out, but there will be $20 tickets on the door.
This is one Sunday sesh you don’t want to miss.

If you haven’t already, then take a walk through the newly renovated entrance to the Adelaide Railway Station.

Meet Dessert, one of Adelaide’s buzzing dessert cafes, has unveiled an afternoon tea that will have sweet tooths across the city frothing.
