    Ordered the sticky date pudding and three layer cheesecake. Even after reading other reviews I didn't expect such generous portion sizes! Highly recommend Bay Vista as a dessert stop with large groups that way you can try more desserts. We went in before peak hour so there were also many seats available.

    If you're looking for a dessert place in Sydney, look no further than Bay Vista. It's the most famous spot in town, and their late night hours make them the go-to destination for anyone with a sweet tooth. The menu at Bay Vista is extensive, with options ranging from savory to sweet. Whether you're in the mood for pies, waffles, fresh-made crêpes, pancakes, mini cakes, tarts, or ice cream with a variety of toppings, you're sure to find something to satisfy your craving. It's a true dessert heaven. While the music can be loud at times, you can always do a take-away and enjoy your dessert in a quieter setting. So if you're a fan of all things sweet, be sure to check out Bay Vista for an unforgettable dessert experience.

    Looking at all the positive feedback about this place, we are far too excited to go try them out ourselves. After a nice steak lunch at Meat and Co., we decided to go to Bay Vista. It's a nice bustling place, we had to wait 2 minutes to be seated. We were presented with the menu card, or shall I say Menu Book. We chose a few items from the menu and we were highly disappointed. It felt like random things were added in a huge glass tub, with lot of whipped cream over it. 3 desserts, we spent around $80 Save yourself the trip and the dollars and perhaps try Messina which a short walk down the road.

    The pancakes were amazing and big portion. The cappuccino was good but not hot , we asked to change it , the manager came and change it after discussing. The place has a vibrant ambient , and has a lot of seats.

    Came here with some friends. Overall the desserts looked stunning and tasted good. Ordered the Freddie maccacino and for the price it could have been much better. However the other deserts had a perfect balance of sweetness and the portions were really large!!

    Another overrated dessert joint. Nothing too special about it beside the fact that it opens until late with a large variety of desserts to choose from. We ordered a share dessert fondue plate which was nice. What caught our eyes were their hot chocolate menu. They have all these different flavour hot chocolate so we ended up ordering the coconut hot chocolate and the peanut butter hot chocolate to try. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of the peanut butter hot chocolate. When the peanut butter hot chocolate came out, before mixing the peanut butter that was already inside your hot choco, it tasted okay.. and when you start mixing the peanut butter to dissolve into your drink, the drink is very unpleasant. The peanut butter doesn’t dissolve into your hot chocolate and leaves a very clumpy taste of it whenever you drink your hot choco. I personally don’t like it and I don’t recommend it. However, my friend really enjoyed her coconut hot chocolate drink.

    Good taste and a heaven for sweet lovers. Prices are up cuz their serving is massive. Recommended to come on an empty stomach to enjoy/consume your whole order. Ask for their other menu that mentions of what dietary requirements they cater for.

    Located in Parrmatta, this very populated dessert restaurant is a must go! Everything was sweet and had a big portion. Bay Vista has a very wide variety of desserts (there menu is around 50 pages). They offer desserts like pancakes, waffles, crepes, ice cream, ice cream bowls, sorbet, drinks & more. What I love about them is there different level of portion sizes you can get. Whether you want something small after a big dinner, or a something big to really fill you up. Their staff is very quick and responsive. We ordered, and it arrived within 10 minutes even with a packed restaurant. Bay Vista also plently of seats for their customers (2 levels). The environment is very loud and vibrant. Must go place for dessert lovers!

    This place deserves a solid 5 stars for its incredible range of desserts and the generous portions that are perfect for sharing. I was amazed by the extensive dessert menu. There were so many mouth-watering options to choose from, it was hard to decide! What really stood out to me was the portion sizes. They were generous, to say the least! The desserts were not only visually stunning, but they were also big enough to share with my friends and family. We were able to indulge in multiple desserts and they all stood out. The quality of the desserts was also top-notch. Each dessert was beautifully presented and made with high-quality ingredients that were evident in every bite. The flavors were rich and balanced, and the textures were spot-on. It was clear that the desserts were crafted with care and attention to detail. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating and friendly service. The staff was knowledgeable about the desserts and helped us make informed choices based on our preferences. The atmosphere was perfect for enjoying a relaxed and indulgent dessert experience with loved ones. If you're a dessert lover looking for a place to satisfy your sweet cravings, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning for more dessert adventures!

    I’ve been here before it was late one Saturday night and it was packed, it was loud and full of atmosphere and the dessert and service was fantastic. I went back recently around 4:00pm there was no one in there with absolutely no atmosphere but put that down to the fact there was no one there. The staff looked like they hated being there and the girl that took our order hardly spoke to us let alone cracked a smile, leaving us feeling very awkward. Unfortunately the dessert was nothing compared to last time, it was pricey and very disappointing. Had it been like that the first time I tried it, I would never had gone back.

    After a terrible dining experience in one of the nearby restaurants and getting completely disappointed by their food and service, here was the only place that could bring the smile back to our faces and make us have fun a little bit. Bringing a very vast selection of desserts in one menu and keeping all the items above standard is not a simple job. All the dessrets were fresh, tasty and served generousely 👌👌

    This place give a 60’s vibe, surprisingly I enjoyed the environment here. It was very crowded very busy but not too noisey which was a treat, I didn’t have to yell just to communicate with hubby. The portions are enormous. I loved this place and the dessert where incredible.

We ordered: Nutella Pancake Nutella Crepes 5th Avenue, New York Ham Cheese Croissant Top of chocolate sauce Thank you so much for having us!

    Indulging in the yummiest waffles and ice cream at this desert-themed establishment was an absolute treat. The waffles were perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired flawlessly with a generous scoop of creamy ice cream. What truly stood out, aside from the delectable flavors, was the impeccable plate presentation. Each dish was a work of art, elevating the dining experience to a whole new level. If you're a dessert lover looking for a blend of taste and visual delight, this place is a must-visit.

    Great ambience! Menu has a variety of unique desserts. We totally enjoyed the desserts. But the service is not as expected. We were told incorrect names for each of the desserts and realised only after eating and checking with another waitress. Birthday boy ended up eating the one he didn't order. Overall, it was good.

  • 2/5 Syvian L. 11 months ago on Google
    Tried this on June 23. Well, it wasn’t what I expected. The portion is big, but the Belgian waffle is too thick and has a dry texture. Mixed berries are disappointing; they are not fresh. I would not recommend this.

  • 4/5 Tarif A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place for late night desserts. We had the pizza pancake and Bananarama waffles. We were 5 people, so 2 items were more than enough. Good service. They need to serve tap water though, having to buy water is not great.

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 2 years ago on Google
    Shocked to be served desserts bigger than my dinner. Spoilt for choice with the almost 50 page menu. Could not finish my delicious dessert - had to take away. Hot chocolate was very enjoyable. Low lights, music, great atmosphere. An amazing treat for dessert lovers.

  • 4/5 Alan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place for dessert with heaps of seating inside and out. Plenty of toilets on site and the food comes quick and with generous portions. Definitely recommend sharing as it may be quite a lot for people that aren’t a sweet tooth. I got the chocolate mousse and it was amazing and exactly what you expect from it. The downside is that you water can only be purchased and they don’t have tap water readily available

  • 4/5 C P K. 1 year ago on Google
    A good dessert restaurant with variety of desserts ranging from Waffles to Ice-cream. Place have ample space in 2 inside levels and outside seating. No prior reservations needed for us. Waffles are good. Toast was average. Hot chocolate was tooooo sweet for my taste. 😜

  • 4/5 C M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing dessert selection - making a decision is hard based on the pure volume of choices available. We enjoyed a couple of different kinds of waffles, the tiramisu and some savoury crepes. The food came out quickly however, our drinks did not come out until well after our meals were finished. The strawberry cheesecake shake was lacking in strawberry flavour however the other drinks were good but considering drinks should always come out first in a restaurant, it was disappointing to be left waiting for a drink post meal.

  • 5/5 Ankur P. 2 years ago on Google
    It was my first time at this place and I was mesmerised with the variety, quality, quantity and ambience of the place. Never thought that desserts can be so amazing. Really loved it and would be definitely back for more.

  • 3/5 Bihter A. 2 years ago on Google
    Synopsis: Big place, loud music, waitresses talking amongst themselves rather than keeping an eye on customers’ needs, profiteroles were delicious. Occupation health and safety is important when you have a food business that cater more than 100 people. The section between inside and outside has railing on the floor that could be hazardous for anyone. I hope there won’t be any WorkCover cases in the future. Loud disco music is good if it was serving only youth. There were many customers who came in with their families, children and babies. Decent volume adjustment would do justice for this beautiful setup. Waitresses are too young and inexperienced. Especially the ones who greet customers at seating registry. They need to be extra disciplined. Both were having deep conversations as I was trying to get their attention. Luckily one of the serving waitress helped me. Couple of minutes later, both engaged with other stuff behind them, a usual customer with children came at the seating registry. I said “usual” as she didn’t even bother disturbing them, just grabbed the menu and went to a table with her children. My dad doesn’t like dessert much. Profiteroles that I got for myself looked so appealing that he also took a spoon and started to dig. 💯% mark for profiteroles. Almond coffee tasted terrible. Get “Milk Lab” or Woolworths “Australia’s Own: Barista” to attract those who are milk tolerant. Your coffee would taste extraordinary. Overall: Average dessert place where it has so much potential.

  • 4/5 Minal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Huge variety of decadent desserts! If you love desserts u have to check this place out....waffles, pancakes, sundaes, ice cream, milkshakes, cheese cakes, pies etc. etc. etc. The vibe at the restaurant was also nice however it was quite disappointing that when we asked for tap water we were told they only offer bottled water at a cost and they couldn't give us tap water 😐

  • 5/5 Nadim A. 2 years ago on Google
    Bay Vista is the only place you need to go for dessert. The only place. Hands down! The biggest, the best, the tastiest desserts on the planet. Straight fk off desserts that will make you sick from over consumption! FIVE STARS 🌟

  • 2/5 Slim K. 2 years ago on Google
    It's pretty packed, the self service ordering is a real shame for the style of restaurant it is. Our desserts and coffee took a while to arrive. I got the Italian coffee, it's just coffee with Nutella on the side. We ordered a waffle with some customisations that got all mixed up somehow. Coffee came quite cold. The staff appeared to be attentive but failed to really 'care'. Waiting to be seated was also quite a bummer. The Brighton branch was much nicer.

  • 5/5 Andrew L. 2 years ago on Google
    Went at midnight and the staff were still very accommodating. The number of desserts offered is astonishing, so there should be something for everyone. Got the waffles with butterscotch sauce and it was amazing! Portions are big, so you will be satisfied! Would go again for a late night feed!

👍 Best restaurant for South Indian dishes. Worth a try of Biryani. Tried Tandoori Soya today and it was the best I ever had here. Egg65 Biryani was so tasty. Crispy Baby corn was bad seemed like it was not fresh. You should not let your standards drop.
