I Loved this little bit of France in the middle of the city.
Best coffee around.
food was tasty and quick.
Dessert looked amazing and didn't disappoint.
I have been to this cafe on 4 occasions. Each time I have had amazing food and service. I can’t fault this cafe in any way, and I will continue to dine there.
The passionfruit tart here oh my - so yummy! I miss coming here during the day to take a break and enjoy a coffee and admire the cake display. Hopefully I can get back there soon when restrictions ease
Laurent served tea, coffee, sandwiches and had on their display an array of beautiful-looking pastries and cakes. I’d been here a few times, and while I found the savoury selections a bit stale sometimes and coffee a little underwhelming, the cakes and pastries never disappointed. There were a lot of delectable modern style cakes and some classic pastries to choose from. Loved the Parisian ambiance and decor of this cafe, and service was pretty friendly when they were not busy.
My goodness the Strawberry Tart is a dessert worthy of your daily calorie intake! It has the most crumbly and delicious shortcrust pastry and the strawberry flavour is simply gorgeous.
10/10 would recommend!
Perfect spot to grab a croissant and coffee on the go! Staff always look after me especially on a busy work day
Great spot to grab a sandwich for lunch or pastry and coffee for breakfast!
We stumbled upon the Laurent at Little Collins St while walking around that part of town. What a beautiful spot for a coffee break!
We had a cappuccino and ice latte. Both had delightfully strong coffee flavour which went superbly well with the puff pear. The pastry was fresh and crispy. The pear filling was not overly sweet and really hit the spot!
There are multiple Laurent branches around Melbourne but this particular store was exceptional.
The picture says it all. Coffee addicts paradise.
Interesting features of high ornate ceilings with French decor.
Great place to chill and regather thoughts before the crowds get in as it could get noisy here!
Cappuccino very creamy and the coffee is delicate in taste. Nice cup and saucer though. Maybe not for everyone’s taste.
Another place I love for Laurent. So happy to spend a lovely afternoon with mates. Lovely people and food.

Choux Pecan
Although a small serving, the Choux Pecan is dense in flavour. This dessert is an almond crumble topped choux base filled with pecan praline covered in vanilla chantilly and pieces of caramelised pecan, topped with pecan cremeux. To top it off, it is decorated with milk chocolate and snow sugar.
A lot of flavour is pact in each bite, so one serving should be satisfactory. Unless you’re a huge fan of sweets, you may need to order more desserts!
Tarte Bourdaloue
The Tarte Bourdaloue is a shortcrust based tart filled almond cream and topped with hand-cut pear halves. In every mouthful of the tarte, the freshness of the pear provides a natural sweetness to the dessert, while there’s a hint of nuttiness from the taste of the almond cream. A simple, yet timeless creation.
Citron Tart
The Citron Tart is a shortcrust based tart filled with lemon cremeux and a mix of slightly sweet and sour lemon curd. The texture was pleasant as the lemon curd was solid enough to withstand on its own, but was not hard, which complimented well with the refreshing taste of lemon. This really met up to my expectations of how a citron tart should be, as the sweetness of the tart and refreshing taste of the lemon were very well balanced. Highly recommended to try this dessert out, because it’s not too heavy, nor it is too light for the stomach.
Tarte Pecan
The Tarte Pecan is a honey butter sauce filled shortcrust tart filled with pecans and macadamia. This is a very rich nutty treat that combines both sweet and salty aspects together. The macadamia nuts provide a slightly bland, yet salty difference compared to the honey buttered pecans, which are sweet, and the honey and butter really gives the pecans a deep and unique flavour.
I recommend enjoying this tart with a mild tea, such as earl grey, due to the how rich the tart.
This store is quite pricey, but the quality of the desserts makes up for the price.
