Crunchy flaky wonderful pastries.
Special thumbs up for the duck pie!!
Stopped for quick lunch & left w afternoon snacks & desserts for dinner. Everything was so tempting. All the food is handmade & looks so beautiful...but more importantly, it tastes like in France.
Service was smiley & efficient, too bad Facebook doesn't do 6 stars..
Well done & merci les amis
Great friendly staff, and terrific coffee!! Can't recommend highly enough :-D
Cute little French cafe near home that I will sorely miss when I leave Brunswick. The pies are fantastic as is the coffee and service.
Choukette has been a favourite haunt of mine since I first moved to Brunswick years ago. It's cosy and quaint and unpretentious with such a charming vibe. Sometimes they have vegan sweet options, which is a real treat. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with a classic croissant or quiche plus a coffee. Soy is available (of course) and done really well.
My fav little cafe in the area!
Great coffee, I believe most of the staff are French and very happy to chat.
The most delicious pastries that I keep going back for time and time again.
It can take a while on weekend for a coffee as it’s so popular
You can now get table service also
Highly recommended
Running early for a gig and in need of a hot beverage so we popped in to Choukette and not only do they do a great almond latte they have an amazing range of desserts, stunning take away cakes and even house made jams. It’s a shame they were closing and we had to get takeaway
Choukette is one of Brunswick’s iconic cafes serving up immaculate French delicacies in a small comforting setting. Located on Sydney road with only 3 tables out the front Choukette gets very busy as people stop in to grab pastries to go or dine in for a light bite to eat.
Upon entering this adorable French cafe late afternoon the lunch rush had been and gone and there was only a few other customers relaxing enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Taking 2 steps inside I was immediately confronted with a huge assortment of sweet treats behind the cabinet, from cakes to pastries, sorbets and tarts AND if that wasn’t enough hot pies and savoury sandwiches are also available leaving one spoilt for choice.
We grabbed a seat towards the back of the cafe near the drinks station and had a quick glance at the surprisingly large menu for such a small eatery. The order at the counter deal ensures the line moves quick for those in a hurry with takeaways but table service is also on offer. As I placed my order I was greeted by an overly friendly waiter who informed me that the pastries where on offer 2 for 1, a deal I simply could not surpass. I ordered my usual long black and cappuccino along with a rhubarb and pear danish with the added in bonus of a chocolate and cream filled croissant. I was given a table number and waited in anticipation.
The coffees arrived in a timely fashion. The long black was average, slightly watering and bitter but still remained a slight touch of acidity. The cappuccino was much better thick and creamy with a perfect frothy top. The pastries were clearly the highlight though. Buttery, flakey pasties, pulling apart with ease revealing a fluffy centre easy to indulge in. The Rhubarb and pear danish had a generous apart of fruit and wasn’t to sweet. The chocolate and cream filled croissant was packed with hard decadent chocolate with swirls of cream throughout.
Choukette is the ideal location if you are in need of a quick cheap bite to eat or kill time escaping reality and letting your tastebuds experience a touch of authentic French cuisine. The freshly baked goods are excellent but the coffee can be improved but overall it’s easy to see why this little cafe is so popular.

Mon Dieu! Choukette est aussi proche que possible d'un vrai café français. Exceptionnel.
A fairly unassuming cafe until you walk through the door.
Friendly, almost homely atmosphere and excellent customer service skills.
Everything made on premises with passion, detail and skill.
Hard to beat for quality authenticity and price.
Love the ham and cheese croissant, order 1 every time I stop by. Other sweets are also delicious. The atmosphere is very cozy. My favorite place in Brunswick!
Hands down the best cafe in the neighbourhood. Fantastic staff, coffee, and food.
Best croissants in all Melbourne. Great options, sweets or savouries.
Congrats folks
Nothing fancy to see...unless you like some jewelled bites of delight, layers of ganache and caramel, lashed with custard and tatted up with some berries. Nothing fancy at all to see.
No fancy soundtrack...unless you like the constant spit and hum of a coffee machine that churns out the best cup we’ve found in Brunswick...served with a French accent. Yep nothing to hear here at all.
Nothing fancy to nibble on...unless you want to count your soul lucky instead of your hips and forget how many sticks of butter it took to make your croissant so delicately crusty (it’s a lot).
Yep if you’re after balsamic jus and thrice cooked duck with pomegranate jewels...move on and leave a table open for me here at this amazing gem.
You know how a good breakfast place can really start your day off wonderfully? This is it! I just walked out of this place a few minutes ago but I’m still excited about the experience (although that could just be the caffeine kicking in haha).
It’s a rainy morning, and I had to the tram as well as walking a few minutes to get there, but as soon as I walked in the door I started to love the place. Great vibe and an excellent presentation of desserts. This place was oozing the good old-fashioned French bakery ambiance. The waitress was super nice and cheerful, which was a big YES. Coffee and croissant for 6.95? Hit me!
Didn’t wait very long to get my food. Flat white was delicious, and the jam that came with the croissant turned out to be pear jam. How interesting! The croissant was a bit cold, but you still get all the flakiness that a decent croissant should have.
I suggest coming early in the morning like I did, and grab a seat before all the loyal customers fill it up. You won’t regret it (and no I’m not overselling this place).
A lovely cafe with French style cakes, pastries and some savoury options. Coffee is great and reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. The cakes are perhaps a little more expensive than some other cafes but they are delicious and freshly made, so well worth paying a little bit more. Other items such as freshly made jams are also available for purchase.
Being French, I admit the bakery has nailed it. Pastries taste like back home. Friendly staff.
A beautiful little cafe with wonderful produce. Friendly, fast service. Love it! 🥐🧡
Croissants are the right amount of butteriness, croque monsieur is creamy, coffee is reliable good. So many tasty treats in the window. Reasonably priced for this focus on quality, especially given it is all house-made. A true taste of France.
Love Choukette! Staff are always friendly, food is delicious and coffee excellent. Cosy spot to eat in and super affordable too. Highly recommend.
