Lovely service; the staff are all warm and welcoming.
Perfect coffee (I’m dairy free!) with a wide range of unique desserts to choose from.

Every neighbourhood needs a bakery like Philippas! Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked goods in the morning!

Overall score: 17/25 or ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
in 5 words: neighbourhood armadale bakery with pies

Review: if you feel like having a quick bite around armadale, Philippa’s is your best bet. There were limited indoor seats and it was a chilly day, but we got a seat inside within 5 minutes. The chicken and leek pie ($10) went well with the accompanying tomato relish, which was a bit sweeter than usual.
Portions were generally on the smaller side, but it suited our preference for smaller meals. We generally manage our expectations when we have coffee at a bakery, and this was slightly better than average bakery standards.
I also love that the bakery sells a wide range of cookies and bottled sauces which would make great gifts for family and tourists. Will definitely be back if I’m shopping in the area.

Their olive bread is so addictive. I have been known to finish a loaf in one sitting! Other than that, the coffee and cakes are ok, but it's a bakery first and foremost.
Magnificent. Ordered savoury tarts and cakes as part of the catering for a funeral. People commented on how delicious the food was and they were right. Highly recommend the hazelnut meringue cake. That disappeared so quickly, as did the victoria sponge. They were very easy to work with and totally reliable.
Renowned bakery founder Phillippa Grogan of Phillippa’s has launched a collection of exquisite gourmet Christmas treats, from hampers and gingerbread houses to rich plum puddings and Christmas cakes, just in time for Christmas.
I really like this place! It was reallyvosy and charming! The service was so friendly! The roast beef sandwich i had was simple but so yum! Every element was done really well! :) i really love the homely feel this place has :)
I really enjoy the food here, especially this time of year, for the Hot Cross Buns. They're a little pricy but after devouring many types at different outlets selling Hot Cross Buns, Phillippa's definitely have the nicest! Yum!
Can't go past this place without stopping in for a coffee and cake. It is like walking into an old fashioned bakery. All cakes and breads look delicious. Coffee is lovely, even though they don't have skim milk. Made to perfection. Have had a few cakes here but my favourite by far is the lemon tart. I am just in heaven when I eat this......
No skim, soy or almond for a coffee?!. I'm a bit astounded they don't do anything but full cream milk for a coffee but nevertheless it's a bit strange to say the least. A bit of a time warp in that respect but after a few times coming here the honey oat loaf is terrific, the Parmesan sables are delish and the mixed nuts are very spicy though -had a bit of a spice attack the other day. Lots of cool things on the walls to buy like condiments and sauces and the staff are friendly.
An Australian institution that keeps thriving. Coffee okay, cakes and pastries are top notch and at decent prices. Fantastic location. Chocolate brownie is a must try.

The cream for the scones is now spreadable!! Woo hoo!!
---2015---
Provided feedback to Phillippa's that it's impossible to spread the cream that comes with the scones as its so chilled it's effectively butter; 3 weeks late nothing has changed. Still serving the same non-spreadable "cream". Please take onboard this feedback - I actually like the scones, just hate having to ask every time to be given something I should have been given to start off with. Lattes however have gotten much better - a strong latte is now actually a strong late; good job on that one!

I do love this little bakery, but I would love it more if they did skinny milk and allowed EFTPOS under $10.

Great little coffee & cake shop - staff need to pay a little more attention to what a strong latte is though, warm milk with a sniff of coffee just doesn't cut it. I will return as I've been going here for years, however next time I'll try my take away coffee in store & have them remake it if it's not what I ordered. Lesson learned!
Authentic Cafe. I came here with my Grandma for afternoon tea after wedding dress shopping.
The staff were really nice and the coffee and cake were delicious. It may be a bit on the pricier side, but it's worth it for the quality. My Oma loved the raspberry and plum tart, she makes one exactly the same (it's her specialty) and thought they had done a great job. Would definitely return, Phillippa's bread's are the best too!
I Loved my coffee and brownie. This place really knows how to do things right. Also foodie face that leaves reviews why do u bother going to cafes just try opening your own cafe ?
I havent actually eaten here yet but have bought things to take away. Amazing! A couple to mention are rhubarb crumble and spinach feta fritatta. Both are so nice! Obviously very fresh good quality ingredients used. It takes me half an hour to drive to this place and i would not hesitate taking the drive to buy something from here. Staff are extremely friendly, often throw in a little complimentary piece of whatever it is Im buying. Love it!
Classic Purists. I love the fact that the loaves will never be identical, because the products are made without any improvers or stabilizers. The same as what would have been made 100 years ago and they are Phillippa’s not like any other bakery in Melbourne.
The Lemon Tart is to die for and the Fruit Muffins are almost not really even muffins as they have more Cranberries, fruits and nuts in them then dough!
I also love the Dukka as it’s not just a spice mix like everywhere else.
Yes – They are a bit posh, but you pay for what you get these days.
Delicious!. We were there on Sunday for a quick lunch - the sausage rolls with relish, were delicious and the coffee was great! The staff were delightful too.
Two thumbs up. Good coffee and madeleines
Philippa's products are also stocked in some Coles stores, Thomas Dux, Leo's & other fine food stores. They also have a stall at the Veg Out farmers market. Goods are quite pricey but the fruit muffins & the chocolate brownie are good for an indulgent treat
Visited today and was impressed with the selection of treats. So if you have a sweet tooth this is the place to visit. Only let down was the coffee.
Carb central.. If your loooking for a carb overdose there is no better place to treat yourself than Phillippa's. Too many yummy things to speak about. I love that XMAS is around the corner and so are their mince pies!
Not only do they do simple things for lunch like soups, quiches, pasties and sausage rolls, they also sell a huge variety of specialty biscuits, cakes and breads as you can see from this photo. I was tempted to grab a few bags of cookies or muesli on my w
Delicious baked goods, bright and friendly service. Lots of bread and pastries to chose from. The sausage roll we had was very tasty and flavoursome. The lemon tart had a nice citrusy, creamy flavour as well.
Hands down the best pastries(both savory and sweet) I’ve had in Melbourne. Service is fast and friendly as well. If you’re in the area do drop by. Even if you’re not in the area, drop by! I think this place is a hidden gem worthy of making a trip 😋😋
The savoury pastries were delish, especially the sausage roll with relish. Lovely lady at the counter and beautiful bakery!

The workers were so nice to me. They made the best extra hot latte for my mother and she liked it very much. Thank you for your hard work!
Delicious light baked goods. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had sandwiches for lunch, and they were excellent!
I called in very late last Friday, to my delight they had a few things left . Amongst a couple of the quality items I purchased was the pear and caramel bread and butter pudding which had just come out of the oven . My family loved this dessert I will be returning it received big praise from my family .
In addition the lady that served me was so accomodating and lovely even though it was the end of the day . This is what customer service is about .
