My Quiche Lorraine was the best I have ever had. My partner has baked eggs and they were delicious too. The coffee machine threatened to be broken but thankfully came to life and produced tasty cappuccino.
Fantastic French Bakery and Cafe in the heart of Albany. Very friendly staff, and quick service even though the place was packed. We ordered a double serving of Toulouse, which was absolutely delicious! Would recommend a visit for anyone passing through Albany!
Had a lovely simple breakfast of tea, croissants, butter and jam but it was so good. The croissant was the best I've tasted and the service was great. Even had a free little pastry thrown in. Really tasty, will definitely be back.
Cannot rate this lil gem enough! Not a huge menu, but what is available is quality. In fact, French quality in Albany.
Fresh ingredients, delicate and scrumptious!
Please do yourself a favour and visit this cafe. Staff are very accommodating.
The food quality & atmosphere are fantastic. We particularly love their croissants as they are crispy even in takeaway and served in cold. Onion soup is also fantastic. Love this place.
A warm and welcoming cafe with excellent food and the coffee is great too. Food is of such a high quality, it turns over quickly so visit early to get the best choices. The deli and gifts looks good too. Can't wait to visit again.
The most delicious, light, fluffy, crumbly croissants, served warm with tasty jam. My mum commented that it was the best croissant she's had outside of France. Coffee was incredible also. Hot and perfect. Fabulous for breakfast. Lovely, friendly service in a beautiful a little store. This place is a little treasure. ❤️
Felt like myself was in a French countryside bakery's shop instead I almost forgotten I was in Australia.
Beautiful french's family business. Lovely country style setting and delicious breakfast. I ordered baked eggs with salmon and long black, and Salmon quiche on the second day. The food presentation is lovely and tasty, the salmon is fresh and the bread just nice by itself. Coffee is hot and aromatic.
Not to mention the prices are fair.
Just love everything in here, wish I could spend more days in this town to enjoy this.

A nice example of the diversity that is Albany. Conveniant and friendly. The decor and atmosphere are considered and polite. Well worth a visit. Especially for the quiches
Coffee Aromas smouldering bakery smells overlooking Albany harbor and entertainment center. Bustling with breaky types. Some gaelic voices from the kitchen. Eggs with salmon at $16. Ouef french style. Came in a little casserole with mushrooms and cheese melt. Suitable for dunking crusty brown french breads. Croissants served in baskets. Buttery. Mochas and lattes were served. The quiches were baked in Parisian sizes. Topped with crispy grilled cheese. The citron tart was delicate and sharp to taste at $8. Giant servings of croissants, goey cheese and thick cut bacon for $12.5. Breaky aficionados melt your cheesy eggy heart out if u get here.
Lovely decor and nice staff. The food was lovely and thoughtful, although the quiche could have used some more seasoning. The basket with a selection of pastries was delicious.
The coffee was good but not the best. Nice place to sit outside and enjoy the view.
Absolutely surpassed our expectation! Beautiful coffee, delicious pastry, and near to perfection presentation! This one is a must visit in Albany.
What an absolute gem for breakfast in Albany! Prepare to be transported to the heart of France with this cosy and beautifully decorated cafe. I had the spiced rice/porridge which was so satisfying and filling. My husband had the baked eggs which were cooked to perfection. We couldn't resist getting some pastries to take away which were also delicious. Staff were very attentive and friendly with prompt service. We'll have to return as there were so many other things we wanted to try. Highly recommend!
Amazing French bakery!! The croissant, coffee, quiche and blueberry/almond tart were absolutely wonderful! Super friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend this place 😍
Like stepping into another world, genuine French Patisserie and quite literally the definition of fine and comforting cuisine. I thought the concept of having food bring you flashbacks of your childhood was a bit far fetched... until I came here.
Every single bakery within a 500km radius can't even live in the shadow of Gourmandise, honestly. This is not a place you will find mass produced, oversweetened, empty calories.
Everything is good. I mean everything. Order whatever and it will hit you with a pang of nostalgia, perfectly balanced flavours and textures. Lovely friendly staff with a relaxed but efficient vibe. I can't recommend them enough. They are always busy for a reason!
A must go too. Little piece of France in downtown Albany. Cakes a little pricey, but do taste amazing. Croissant was exceptional.
It is highly recommended for the lovers of French breakfast delights. We enjoyed the salmon quiche and a basket of croissants, served with butter and jam.
The quality of the pastries here is outstanding. I was lucky enough to get in early today and had the apple tart tatin. One of the best I've ever had and I must admit I've tried way too many in my time 😅🤣 The service was friendly and I also had a few of their other sweet pastries on the other days I was here. Highly recommend trying out this place.
