Steven ter Horst Chocolatier Hyde Park

Forget the standard cake run. Adelaide’s serious dessert disciples all point to one specific address on King William Road. Steven ter Horst Chocolatier delivers an absolute masterclass in cacao and cream. The undisputed heavyweight here? The Basque cheesecake—a gloriously wobbly, scorched-top tarta de queso that commands total silence after the first bite. Pure, impossibly creamy perfection. Dessert purists also champion the intensely flavored chocolate truffle tarts and the towering, generous swirls of soft serve. Whether you are sipping a masterfully pulled espresso or a deeply decadent hot chocolate, the craftsmanship is undeniable. Light-as-air apple and lemon cheesecakes with perfectly crumbly biscuit bases round out the lineup. Flawless pâtisserie technique meets unapologetic indulgence. Go for the chocolate—stay for the cheesecake.
