For those with a sweet tooth and a craving that only chocolate can cure, here is our guide for Launceston Central City's must try destinations for your sugar fix. (You're welcome...)

Every great city needs an establishment dedicated to the greatest meal of the day... dessert. 

Charlie's Dessert House has been catering to Launceston's sweet tooths since 2016 with a range of insta-worthy treats. Their menu is complimented by an ever changing range of daily specials so you can always be sure to try something new. Caramilk cheesecakes anyone?

Launceston has recently gotten a whole lot sweeter, with Sabina's Petite Gateau opening in Upper St John.

George Street is known for its boutique shopping, and Cocobean Chocolates is no exception. 

The perfect place to get a box of chocolates as beautiful as they are delicious, stop in for a hot chocolate as you try and decide which chocolates to sample. All chocolate is produced using traditional Swiss methods mixed with Tasmanian produce, like their rocky road Easter eggs with a difference filled with pistachio, strawberry and marshmallow.

You'll find many of Launceston's best kept secrets hidden up laneways, like Cake O'Clock, up Clayton's Lane in the Quadrant Mall. 

Pair one of their delicate cakes with tea or freshly squeezed juice and enjoy it in their bright and sunny loft space.

If variety is your desire then a trip to Mad Hatters Treats' lolly wall featuring over 174 varieties of sweets will have you in sugar heaven. 

Their Easter range includes a variety of gluten free, dairy free and vegan options, Pink Lady bunnies and eggs as well as novelty items like their Wizz Fizz eggs filled to the brim with popping candy.

Chocolate and ice cream, a match made in dessert heaven. 

Cold Rock Ice Creamery has, well, ice cream, but did you know that they have a range of cakes for special occasions (you can even design your own), as well Easter egg cups filled with your choice of ice cream and mix ups for a limited time only. Hop to it!
