While strolling down Glenferrie Road, an unassuming French bakery caught my eye. With images of croissants in my mind, I walked in without any hesitation. As I dropped in 15 minutes before closing time (sorry for being THAT customer), there weren't too many choices left and I only had the option to takeaway.
Almond croissant and baked cheesecake in one hand, and a skinny latte in another, I bid the super friendly and chatty barista farewell and went off to enjoy my goodies.
Munching away, all I could think of was wow, the almond croissant was amazing! So flaky, very buttery, much delicious! The baked cheesecake was yum too. The buttery crust held together very well, and the cheesecake layer was smooth and creamy. Great flavours too!
The skinny latte was quite hot to drink, but cooled down to become a decent brew. Not bad but not great, but who really cares when I just want to return for the sweets?
This place has a delightful array of authentic French cuisine. All their pastries, sandwiches and cakes are lovingly prepared fresh each day.
The ultimate highlight is unquestionably the almond croissant. Each bite takes you closer to food heaven. The layers of buttery, crispy goodness just warms the heart (and clogs the arteries). Their products are consistently made to sheer perfection.
The coffee is outstanding. They also offer weekend high teas if you have an occasion requiring French cuisine indulgence.
If you want a taste of Paris, spend your air fare money here instead!
What a lucky FIND...This little French Cafe is truly a hidden treasure. We had amazing pies! (I had the beef and my partner had the chicken). If you are a PIE LOVER you definitely have to try this cafe's pies!! WOW!!WOW!! WOW!! Real buttery pastry so delicate, flaky and exquisite! Chunky beef (real beef pieces not pretend little bits). We had the pleasure of dining in with ( we think) are regulars. Very friendly environment full of happiness the host (a lady who spoke French) was bubbly and very polite, the Chef comes out as well and brings your food (if the wait staff are busy). I recommend to book as it can get busy at lunch time! Try to make room for dessert or take an Almond Croissant Home... Worth a visit if you are in the Malvern Area. Will definitely come back to try out the French Onion Soup!!
