Can't imagine life without this place. It's a stylish home away from home. Chris is more a host than a chef and Alex, Joey, Graham and the others make you feel so welcome. But truly it's the food and coffee. Delicious. The almond croissant is to die for and the coffee even tastes good in a paper cup if you don't have time to sit, relax and listen to the dreamy music. It's a bit of Coco Chanel in the heart of our bayside village.
C'est superbe! Sans egale!!
The croissants, the custard tarts, the lemon slices, I could go on, but it would be like describing a drink of water to a person dying of thirst in the dessert! You need to actually experience what Ghris and his staff have on offer . You are missing out otherwise.
Check out their special events which are amazing.
Watch the shop front for news , then go in and savour the flavour!
Keep up the tremendous work Chris and team!
I just had the most delicious, lightest, freshest frangipane tart I’ve ever eaten & had to tell you. Will definitely go back to try their other treats. They all looked really good and fresh.
I loved this place! Excellent service and a beautiful place overall. I got a delicious ham and cheese croissant. The staff were kind, and I had no issue with the food being off or old. Amazing and keep up the good work x
I tried one of the Flavours famous croissants today and it did not disappoint! I had the ham and cheese, it was light and had a beautiful crunch, golden colour with a lovely buttery flavour. I asked for it toasted and the cheese melted perfectly and worked well with the ham. Very impressed, much more superior compared to some heavier doughy croissants that are out there. Will be back for sure to try the mouth watering pies they had an offer. Good work Flavours, see you soon!
Love the almond croissant which is moist and delicious. The friands are great too. The outdoor 'room' is great in winter with the addition of heaters & Christopher is the most personable host!

Little cakes and coffee, how can you possibly go wrong? There isn't a huge variety, but a good tiny lemon tart is one of my favourite things. And, as you can see, individual sachets of sugar. The last thing I ever want to do is have to dig around in a communal bowl of germ filled sugar, luckily my penchant for mocha mostly precludes this.
I am incensed to read this review by foodie 808.Christopher the owner gets up at 2am each morning, to bake bread and all his fresh cakes etc. Not one item is stale or chemical taste,. his loyal clientele are a complete cross section of ages, given that Black Rock is a predominantly retirement town. This cafe is an oasis of taste and charm. None of your comments ring at all true to any of us, foodie808. Christopher would like to extend a welcome and a free coffee and cake of your choice , if you would care to revisit and introduce yourself. We are all so sorry that you found things so very negative. Come and enjoy the ambiance and gourmet experience with us all!! Pauline et al .
Great coffee, great food . Fantastic service. Best croissants. Christopher is the most personable and courteous host/owner. Always hospitable. Staff is great and friendly as well. Good good guys, well done 10/10
Love coming here,great service,great food and the owner Christopher is great as a the owner. Well worth a visit if you are in Black Rock AAAAA
The latest edition to the growing number of cafes in the Black Rock shopping strip. Flavours definitely looks the part with a fresh new fit out that is rather inviting. This french patisserie make all of their own sweets and appear to do it well. Seating is available both inside an out, we preferred sitting outside on the classic french cafe style chairs. Our coffees were ordered and soon arrived, they looked average as the barista put no time into even attempting any latte art. However, they were hot and smooth. Service is still finding its feet with staff not sure what drinks and dishes were going to which tables.
Has great potential and I will be back to try out the almond croissant!
If you appreciate good pastry then you need to come to Flavours! Not only is the setting DIVINE, with a cosy French bistro vibe but the pastries are incredible. The vanilla slice is the best I've had in Melbourne by far. And the staff - so friendly and welcoming. The owner Chistopher is a delight!
The staff are just so lovely and the food.....can't find the words to describe how fabulous it is!!!!
Amazing....thank you Christopher and Staff.
Great coffee and cakes in Black Rock. My fav patisserie, authentic French.

Oh lalà! Great coffee, great pastry, reminds of France, best coffee in town, I really appreciate Hospitality businesses like this one that choose quality rather then quantity within their products.
Lamination of brioche dough is pretty good, tried the pain au chocolat and croissant, you can definetly taste the butter;
the ham and fromage baguette was very light, crunchy crust and soft inside, just a touch of mustard not too overpowering, just perfect, melting cheese (gruyere or comte would have been better, I was expecting it as how French the place seems to be 😬);
the quality of the sliced ham could be a little bit better too to be completely transparent and picky, but still good, maybe a good quality jambon off the bone, lightly smoke, would really make it perfect, I have still enjoyed it dont get me wrong. 🤩
as a Chef I am always honest, in hospitality honest and constructive feedback is essential to keep improving and stay ahead 💪🏻.
I am looking forward going back to try more products and hear the French accent again, merci!!
Warm Regards.
Cute little Parisian cafe. They bake their own pastries in store, impressive bake goods.
This classy cafe provides a relaxing, comfortable place to come for a cuppa and a chat.
I had a large hot chocolate and a custard tart and my friend had an Earl Grey tea, which came in an ornate teapot.
The music was loud enough to block out what people were saying at other tables, but soft enough that you could overhear the person you're speaking to.
I only marked it down a star because the waiter didn't bring any water to the table. I like that kind of attention to detail.
The most beautiful croissants
This is most definitely my favourite shop for yummy pastries and especially croissants.
They serve very good coffee too. The atmosphere is always good and the staff owners)are always friendly and polite. Sittings are inside and outside.
You can help yourselves with water set in right corner.
Regardles you are going for lovely lunch or beautiful cakes, I must say that croissants here are absolutly delicious. The best!
And all it's about the layers.
They are using the right flour, to get
the right volume and texture.
Their success is in the ingredients and real ftench butter and the steps taken over 3 days to make them.
Such a wonderful place with yummy croissants.
A place to recommend!
