Always great pastries at Laurent. My go to for crossaint in the area. Classic done well!
Lovely, large and spacious venue with ample seating inside and outside.
As with the other locations I've been to, the Chai Latte is fantastic, very foamy on top and just sweet enough.
Took a much needed break to enjoy some delicious sweets - my partner and I shared the escargot and a ham and cheese croissant. Perfectly flavoured and nice coffee too
Thoroughly enjoyed my chocolate mousse cake and coffee eclair that I shared with my friend. Will be back for sure!
Finally got the chance to try the dessert cakes at Laurent after seeing them all over Instagram. They definitely satisfied my sweet tooth that's for sure!
There's a large variety of cakes on display which are immaculately presented and all look divine. We thoroughly enjoyed the two cakes we got. They were both very light, decadent and not overly sweet.
I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the mood for cake!
Pretty and cute place for afternoon tea. Lovely atmosphere where we can sit and enjoy your coffee and cake. Cakes are cute sizes and perfect to not over eat. Parents also loved new experiences. Definitely a place we would come back to have afternoon tea.
The mirror glaze and presentation of this raspberry mousse was beautiful...the taste was also nice, but I would have liked a stronger kick of raspberry...all in all I am quite satisfied :)
Love the pastries, the pies, the coffee, great services, and the avalability of the seats, so even there is a long line but the chance to get a seat is still high. The desserts were top notch.
Delicious cafe for breakfast. Had the ham, cheese and tomato croissant - properly one of the best I’ve had! The apple turnover was also so good and the chocolate hazelnut cake had a mousse like texture and was divine. A very beautifully set up cafe!
Amazing cakes look forward to coming back to try them all. Always busy even on weekdays! Rolls are average and overpriced you only really come here for the cakes
Pretty desserts and tasted amazing. Was busy and hard to find a seat which is a testament to how good this place is. I liked the macaron one better although both were good.
We always love their cakes and slices. The quality is very consistent and the variety of slices available can be mildly overwhelming.
My fave is the citrusy lemon tart. Sweet, sour and zingy lemon curd encased in a beautiful shortbread crust. Nothing is better than that.
This branch of Laurent is always busy so service does take a hit when this happens.
A classy place for some classy Cake. The selection there are highly exquisite and is a great place for a nice sit down for some afternoon tea or for a take home cake.
I really like this place, especially the berry danish. The colours and decorations are quite nice. I will definitely recommend it to friends.
Nice and elegant. Good looking and delicious foods. Friendly staff and joyful ambience. Nearly every time have a cake and some drink there if shopping at chadstone
Beautiful raspberry tart & great presentation. Tasted delicious when warmed. The tart is buttery while the custard is not too sweet.
Laurent never disappoints. When is it going to open a branch in the west though?!

Always being a classic . A bit on the expensive side of town. Ample seating out and in.
Pastries are the main focus.. and deserts but Melbourne has seen a lot of top desert places in recent years.
Good that quality is well maintained ... coffee is above average ..
Still an old favorite but time for a refresh.
I especially love the almond croissant and chicken foccacia from this place. The coffee and selection of cakes are good too. My only complaint is the noise level, which is usually pretty loud (especially when they are packed).
This is my go-to cafe for a quick brunch, light lunch, or a quick pre-movie coffee and cake. I’ve tried almost all of their desserts and my absolute favourite is the Raspberry Frangipani. Its light, crumbly base, smooth custard filling, topped with fragrant fresh raspberries is simple decadent.
For an easy meal, I highly recommend their spinach and ricotta quiche. So light yet filling at the same time.
I’ve only ever bought cakes for takeaway from Laurent, but never really dined in. On this occasion, I tried the Rubis (white chocolate mousse, raspberry “cremeux” insert, lime & almond flourless sponge). Definitely recommend this one if you enjoy light and fruity, not too sweet desserts. The mousse was smooth and fluffy, and the raspberry insert was sweet, tart and delicious.
Set in the busy Chadstone shopping centre, Laurent is a great place for shoppers to reenergise from hauling their loot and for husband/boyfriend minding when they need a break! With its stunning ambiance of a modern cafe, Laurent's signature menu items are it's Parisian pastries and bakery items that is set on display to allure hungry (and craving) customers. Laurent brings back memories of the bakeries in Paris.
Pricey Little cafe but serves up great cakes and my fave ever the mushroom croque monsier . This is my go to sandwich at any Laurent ! We always head here when we are craving a nice sit down snack
I order cakes from Laurent all the time. this is my go to place. I have ordered cakes for birthdays, parties, work functions, presents... very nice cakes.
This review is only for the desert in Laurent. This chocolate cake has strong chocolate taste and very smooth. The hazelnut on top of it add some extra points to it.
A great choice for baked treats, fresh bread, pastries, cakes and coffee while shopping at Chadstone. Special mention to the salmon quiche and the cappuccino.
This place is incredible! Went here for brunch and got coffees, an escargot and an apple filled croissant.
It did take a few minutes standing in line to order, but once seated the coffee and food came out very quick and tasted amazing. Awesome atmosphere and great staff.
I will definitely be going back next time I’m at Chadstone!
Pretty and delicious pastries, yummy hot chocolate and coffee; this cafe is one to eat at! The scenery is great, new seating arrangement is nice, staff are good. The drinks are at standard price, but the food is pricy, spent $50 for a meal. Overall, we would come back again. 👍
Good place for catch up and afternoon tea. The cake was nice and not too sweet. But it was too busy on the weekend, they forgot my coffee 😥
Log cakes are so rare in Melbourne.... what is Christmas without a log cake? Laurent does them so well, with so many different flavors, you are spoilt for choice. We went for vanilla this time. Sponge & cream was really light, yum!
While pricy, Laurent always delivers top quality cakes. Their drinks are a bit of a let down - received a hot chocolate in a latte glass and a latte in a mug which was odd. Hot chocolate was like hot water.
The Chaux pecan is presented well in a puff topped with a carved shaved choc and filled with pecan hazelnut cream. Yum! The flat white is ok...Not hot enough for a cuppa. Overall costs $10.35.
Visited this place for the first time early in the morning and it was still pretty busy, ordered a mocha and some savouries. Despite the slow service the food is worth the wait and the price tag (hefty, 8.50 per cake) if you can spare the time and the money
Impressive cakes. Not table service need to order at counter so a little pedestrian and cheap in that regard considering the prices of the cakes. But very yum cakes and service from people who bring the cakes out tot the table was very pleasant!
Laurent provides one of the best pastries, cakes and bakery in Melbourne - world! Love their cake signatures, yet the prices are fair enough for the high quality standards. Stay awesome, Laurent! J'adore!!
Very busy, located just outside DJs. Coffee was pleasant, enjoyed with a coffee eclair, + a takeaway Choc eclair, both very nice. Nice selection of sweets, will go again.

Ordered some lovely looking cakes here after a shopping trip, can be tricky finding a table here at times as it seems to be quite popular even with its late 90's decor. Cakes were tasty and rich and the coffee was nice and robust. Price is on the higher side of cafe's in Chadstone
We both ordered some gorgeous cakes. I chose the ‘Charlotte Aux Fraises - vanilla sponge with strawberry mousse, rhubarb compote, and strawberry jelly ($8.65)’. Hidden inside this beautiful cake was a scrumptious centre of rosy mousse and rhubarb. I absolutely adored this creation…
We tried two cakes. The chocolate mousse cake was easily the best. This was a simple chocolate cake - just chocolate on chocolate - but it was beautifully rich, smooth and not overly sweet. We loved the creamy mousse-y cake, the ribbon of chocolate that surrounded the cake and the crunchy meringue batons on top. Simply sublime.
A good place to waiting friends and kids love their cakes. Also a good shop to purchase a birthday cake. Coffee is good, but need to have water by ourselves.
Table for one - a term I have familiarized myself with these days and one that I find much enjoyment in for catching up on my reading. Laurent boulangerie has been around Melbourne since my first visit here 6 years ago and probably had expanded itself since then. Service is efficient and friendly, seating aplenty especially after the lunch rush hour. Too many tempting items on display, ranging from sweet cakes to slices of sandwiches filled with an assortment of meat and vegetables.
They can get really packed most of the time due to tiring shoppers but its actually not a bad place for a small sandwich and coffee. I wouldnt go for the wait if you are in a hurry but certainly a worthy cafe
4/5 Now that Chadstone has oodles of new places I have to admit I've never been here until today as was leaving through David Jones and thought mmmm croissants.
I got a few croissants, a chocolate one too and a coffee eclair and all were delicious. The coffee too was perfect and not burn your face hot; very good coffee.
For the price it's fairly exxy but I didn't like the ordering system as I was in line but others behind me were served first and it was pretty frustrating but when I was served the guy was friendly and smiling - very busy considering how many new spots are in the centre too.
I'll definitely be going to Toorak one close to home to get my croissant fix this week!
Every time I swing by to Chadstone, I always love to come by here and get my usual mocha. They also have a great assortment of cakes and other goodies which are delicious! Yet to try them all.
I really like this place! It is quite expensive but they offer good quality products. Their cakes look amazing and are in my opinion worth the money. I have had the pies here before which were alright, I wouldn't go for them again. I recently had the salami baguette with mozarella and pesto, it was really tasty and I liked the quality of the mozarella used. The staff is friendly and professional. I will come back here again if I am shopping around David Jones. Ps: they sell amazing breads here too - be sure to pick one up to take home!
When we came out from David jones .. We found this French patisserie next to it .Full buzzing cafe ..we thought to give it a try 😊. We took hot chocolate & cakes .... As a wonder, no place to sit in and around soo we took a take away .. We went to food court ... We tried them they were mind blowing 😇😍😋.
Couple of people asked about the cakes.. from where we bought them , as they looked beautiful and delicious 🍰.Dont miss it try this beautiful place but I feel 🤑 pricey.
Love their cakes and often order one if I have a special occasion such as a birthday. Service is a bit chaotic as you order at the counter and the shop isn't really set up to do this efficiently.
had coffee with almond croissant and my 5 year old had ham and cheese croissant with hot chocolate ... lovely meal ... but counter staff was unfriendly
The perfect lunch is brought to us 5 minutes after arrival. We chose chicken and leek pies, ham and cheese croissants and a baguette with salads were very nice all served with fresh greens and dressing. However, the pies were not as good as they used to be.
But, it was good service and a good space for a wheelchair which I'm in.
Great coffee and an okay iced chocolate not quite enough chocolate taste ,but also with a selection of cakes to die for.
Anyway enjoyable lunch
Great place! Came in on Friday night, ordered a late and a ham baguette. The service was fantastic. Very friendly staff which was nice after a long day of work. The coffee was amazing just perfect highly recommend
Love Laurent's! By far the best place to eat at Chaddy. Have had everything from the ham & cheese croissants, chicken focaccia, a selection of meat-filled baguettes, croque Monsieur's, pies, lemon tarts & other small desserts. The coffee is alright but nothing great, would be a million times better if they used better coffee beans. Other than that the food is good and service is generally pretty quick and friendly.
Chicken foccacia is amazing but this clueless girl served me and took ages to put our order together; didn't know where anything was and I don't think she was even new.
Always good patisserie here. Coffee ok.
Nice pies. Most items on the menu are overpriced and pretty standard. The one exception is the pie - really nice pastry and decent filling. Not health food, but they are an occasional food and quite small so don't feel too guilty.
The baked goods at Laurent are second to none, if you enter a store and see how busy it always is, that will attest to my conclusion as well. The citron tart is my favorite without a doubt, however you can't really go wrong whichever way you choose. I haven't dined in yet, only takeaway, the customer service has always been great.
The staff do the best they can, even with a smile under pressures of the long queues. Great establishment.
A French inspired Patisserie with an amazing range of beautiful cakes and pastries. Located in Chadstone shopping centre. We had coffee which was served in beautiful cups that help make the coffee taste great. The cake we chose was beautifully made and decorated and tasted wonderful. Lots of space inside and some seating outside the shop. A great place to take a break from all the shopping at Chadstone.

Fantastic place for delicious food. Wonderfull croissants and swiss danish, pain au chocolat and variety of baguettes, sandwiches and pâtisserie. The large bowls of cappuccino and hot choccolat are simply devine and the best accompaniment to any of the delights you choose.The bread is also phenomenal-we loved sourdough baguette for smashed avo sandwich.
We absolutely loved our time there.
It is now our favourite place to go for delicious food at any time. Staff was fantastic with prompt service and speedy food preparation. The tortes are simply to die for...love this place and highly recommend it.
food was awesome, and there was quite variety of food item along with great range of coffee. Service was great, with super and very efficient staff. Value for money.
Freshly baked goods are to die for! I got to know about Laurent from their coles special chocolate tarts. Finally went to their bakery and had chocolate croissant , it was really good.
Plenty of room to sit during your shopping break. The staff and quality food won't disappoint you.
Check them out if you haven't been there.
