"Australia’s iconic shopping precinct is a feast for the eyes but of course this might not necessarily thrill your children. Older kids might want to have a closer look at The Art of Dr Seuss, Dafel Dolls and Bears and the cool collection at Mr Wares while you can marvel at the stunning architecture of the arcade. Finish off with cake and coffees in the Victorian splendour at the wonderful Hopetoun Tearooms."
"Standing in stark contrast to the city's laneways, are its glamourous arcades. They replace street art and cobblestones with boutique shops and tiled floors. The city features several glamourous arcades, including The Royal Arcade, the oldest arcade in Australia."

"On its window, Monarch Cakes claims to be “Exquisite since 1934”, and it's not a lie. There’s an old-school charm to this St Kilda cake shop, the kind that no amount of climate-controlled, Parisian pastry precision can match. The bundt chocolate kugelhopf, a marble cake with stripes of melted chocolate throughout, is the kind of cake you want to take home to your mother."
"Monarch Cakes in St Kilda has been making desserts on Acland Street since the 1930s. With more than 80 years’ experience, the staff at this place know a thing or two about making delicious treats. There’s the Polish baked-cheesecake made from a 100-year-old recipe, the locally loved chocolate kooglhoupf, and the continental custard vanilla slice."
