Tangy Blackberry Cheesecake Popsicles - a creamy treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth on the hottest days.

Who knew that sticking cheesecake and waffles on a stick could make dessert so much better! Stix is the new must-try dessert stall in Melbourne, offering extravagant sweet treats from a humble setup inside a small parking lot in Coburg.

Inspired by a similar concept in America, Lisa and her partner have cornered this niche market in Melbourne, giving the food capital of Australia something to talk about. Made to order, choose from frozen cheesecake (imported in, with both vegan and vegan & gluten-free varieties available), waffle or corn on the cob, followed by the flavour topping you would like. Vegan and/or gluten-free toppings are also available, along with hot drinks (including coffee) and house made shakes.

Frozen Cheesecake on a stick – Oreo Crumble ($7.00)

Frozen Cheesecake on a stick – Golden Gaytime ($7.00)

Frozen Cheesecake on a stick – Snickers ($7.00)

Waffle on a stick – Nutella & Strawberry ($7.00)

Waffle on a stick – Hazelnut Crunch ($7.00)

If you need something savoury to balance out all the sweetness, Stix also offer corn on the cob, pierced with a stick, and coated in your choice of Doritos, Mexicana or Salt & Vinegar, or served plainly on its own. The most popular choice is the Doritos flavour, whereby the corn is smeared in a house made special sauce, sprinkled with crumbled Doritos, and finished with a drizzle of mustard that somehow elevates this unusual combination of flavours, sparking a newfound love for mustard, Doritos and corn. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of mustard, you must try this combination.

Thick and creamy in texture, their shakes are not to be missed either.

Word is quickly spreading about Stix and their delectable desserts, making the experience of eating desserts with family and friends even more fun! A real community vibe is felt with their down-to-Earth location and friendly service, proving that a simple concept can become a viral crowd-pleaser for all ages to enjoy.

Note: I visited as a guest of Stix. Thank you to Lisa and her partner for their generous hospitality throughout our experience.
