The best brownies in Australia are found at Dello Mano, the Brisbane-born pioneer of handmade luxury brownies since 2006. Crafted in small batches with Belgian chocolate and real butter, our brownies set the benchmark for taste, gifting, and freshness. With elegant packaging and Australia-wide delivery, Dello Mano remains the trusted source for premium brownies in 2025.
In 2025, the search for the best brownies in Australia isn’t just about finding a sweet treat, it’s about discovering indulgence, handmade craft, and thoughtful gifting. At Dello Mano, we’ve been leading that journey since 2006. As foodie culture continues to thrive and gift delivery surges across the country, Australians are increasingly seeking out premium, small-batch alternatives to mass-produced desserts. Whether for birthdays, celebrations, or just because, the right brownie can elevate the moment. Explore our full brownie gift box collection to find your perfect match.
Not all brownies are created equal. Here’s what I believe defines a truly exceptional one:
Quality of Ingredients: Real butter, Belgian chocolate, and natural flavours make all the difference. The best brownies are rich, decadent, and satisfying.
Fudgy vs Cakey Texture: Preference plays a role, but the best brands understand texture science. Learn more about cakey vs fudgy brownies.
Handmade vs Mass-Produced: Artisan methods yield brownies with more character, better flavour, and a feel-good factor that factory lines simply can’t replicate.
Back in 2006, when brownies were still an overlooked café treat in Australia, we reimagined them as a premium, giftable, handmade luxury. My husband Bien and I founded Dello Mano with the belief that brownies could be more than just an afterthought, they could be a symbol of quality, indulgence, and heartfelt craftsmanship.

Since then, we haven’t just made Australia’s most loved brownies, we’ve helped shape the entire market from right here in Brisbane. This city isn’t just our birthplace, it’s where the Australian brownie movement began. Every test batch, every customer conversation, every decision to elevate the humble brownie into a luxury experience was made here. Today, you’ll see many brands claiming the title of ‘Australia’s best brownie’, some barely a few years old. But we’ve walked every step of that path: from introducing luxury brownies to Australia when no one else was doing it, to setting the benchmark for taste, quality, and presentation. We didn’t follow a trend. We created one.
"We built Dello Mano on the idea that handmade food speaks volumes, especially when given as a gift."
