My friends and I walked in here for an impromptu champagne lunch.
We all had a really nice morning. The service was good and the food was nice.
I will be returning.
There used to be lots of great cafes in Rathdowne Village, though sadly over the years, changes of management, closures etc have left only two really good spots and this is one of them in my opinion. Interestingly, this place has actually improved quite a bit over the last 2 years, especially the coffees. The ambience is great, it's a cosy little space, especially the seating area with the fireplace, tucked away from the main entry but with a view to the front. The menu is good if not overly adventurous, the staff are polished and friendly.
Sweet, little place with a tiny squashed seating area but otherwise not too bad. Didn't hate it. I was told the smashed avocado was revolutionary... it was pretty good.
Out of this world!!!
We stumbled across the Depot de Pain on the Queens Birthdays weekend Monday, it's quaint and cosy, in the middle of North Carlton.
The food was to die for, I can't spell it properly but had the Croque Madam, minus the egg and I've never tasted anything like it.
Coffee is great, beautiful teas and lovely staff.
One of my all time favourite brunch places in Melbourne. The staff are all lovely and friendly and after a few visits they always remember your order! I haven't eaten anything I didn't like but personal favourites are the Croque Madame, the rissole sandwich, the ginger peach tea and the flavoured eclairs... but it's all good.
I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here this morning ( 14/4/16 ). I had the Breakfast Cassoulet, which was hot,tasty and delicious. Service was good and the coffee was good. I'd highly recommend Depot de pain.
Pastries from here are absolutely delicious! The croissants are incredibly flaky and rich. They're very decadent, so it's better to share otherwise they're very filling.
Nice little French bakery.
The coffee is quite good, pies are delicious, and desserts and pastries are excellent too.
Most of the staff are awesome and super helpful.
Great service , amazing light fluffy omelettes and very good coffee , I will definitely visit again ! Must try : herb omelette + French toast + double espresso
I love this place. Great coffee cakes and bread. Friendly staff
Went for drinks at 4.30 and weren't told it was closing half an hour later. Cute place albeit with kinda odd French historical documents on the law.
they have a great waitress who should be the manager. We were greeted with the best smile and warmth. Amazing professional service while still creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere to dine in. Sorry we weren't able to leave a tip! We went back this week and different waitress :( Hope she is still working there. food and drinks also great
Great service, staff are really friendly, good coffee and chocolate (which is always important). Tasty pastries, tarts, cakes, eclairs and other dessert based treat (again - important 😉)
Great lunch/brunch spot, the smashed avo is particularly delicious
A great range of small and large plates for lunch, coupled with delicious coffee and dessert options. All very reasonably priced. A definite favourite haunt, popular with the hip Carlton crowd.

Service very attentive and coffee was lovely. Depot De Pain this time around seemed to have improved from our last couple of visits.
