Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page answers one question: where do you go for something sweet in and around Kew East? The answer is three places. One cafe is in Kew East, and a pub and a bakery sit just over the line in Kew.
We checked each one against two independent sources: OpenStreetMap, the venue’s own website and the Australian Good Food Guide. Only one place, the Postmaster Hotel, has dessert prices we could read, and those are copied exactly as its menu prints them.
Three places is a short list. We would rather give you three we can stand behind than pad it.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cafe counter, cake and coffee | Kuche | see below | not printed here |

Kuche — 682 High Street, Kew East VIC 3102
Kuche is a cafe on High Street in Kew East. AGFG lists it with takeaway, alfresco dining and breakfast. Its own site, which we could not date to this year, lists Monday to Friday 7.00 am to 4.00 pm and Saturday 8.00 am to 3.00 pm. We could not find a published dessert menu or any prices, so we will not name a cake. Ask at the counter what is out that day.
Mess forecast: Unknown, because we could not find a published menu, so check the cabinet when you walk in.
Postmaster Hotel — 186 High Street, Kew VIC 3101
The Postmaster Hotel is a pub on High Street in Kew. Its menu prints a lemon tart at $14. It also prints a sticky date pudding at $16. AGFG lists the pub with takeaway and alfresco dining, and its hours run from 11:30 AM to 10:30 PM on several days. Treat those hours as the AGFG listing, which may be out of date.
On the menu (copied from postmasterhotel.com/Postmaster-A3-menu-may-2026-z9n9.pdf on 9 October 2026):
- LEMON TART: $14
- STICKY DATE PUDDING: $16
- LARGE CHIPS: $12
The build: The two puddings we print here, the lemon tart and the sticky date pudding, each carry a price on the menu, so you can plan the damage before you sit down.
Gluten Free 4 U — 1345 Burke Road, Kew VIC 3101
Gluten Free 4 U is a bakery on Burke Road in Kew. Its own site gives the same address. The name points to gluten-free baking, but we could not find a published menu or prices, so we cannot name a single item. OpenStreetMap tags it Tuesday to Friday 08:30 to 16:30 and Saturday 08:30 to 15:00, with public holidays off. That is the OpenStreetMap tag only and it may be out of date.
Order: Ring or check the shop’s own site first for what is baked, since we could not find a published price list.
