I called into Filous Patisserie in Carlton North to grab a selection of delicious pastries, tarts and cheesecakes to take home. Such a cute little patisserie, Filous has been operating in the same location for decades and has been recently refreshed by the current owner. That said locals were keen to keep their favourite spinach and cheese slice on the menu and its most certainly the biggest savoury seller. Today I took home a trio or tarts, eclairs and a selection of danishes as well as a chocolate and plain croissant mini baked cheesecake. Danishes were sizeable and so fresh I was tempted to eat them all. Favourites from our selection included the raspberry tart, blueberry danish and escargot. The baked cheesecake was decadent and the trio of choux eclairs so light and puffy filled with chocolate, vanilla and caramel custard.
Filous has a small amount of seating outside for when restrictions lift again but is a really good take away venue for yummy mid morning treats.
Thanks to the team at Filous for their hospitality.
Some amazing creations from Filous for all my past functions. Every single time they just seem to exceed my expectations lately.
Thank you so much to the team for baking these amazing delicious goodies
Great selection of bakeries here. Love all the different pastries, croissants, pies, tarts, cakes, and breads they've got here. My favorite would be the almond croissant and the spinach pastry. Definitely recommend. Have it with a cup of coffee and your breakfast is fixed!
Had some good cakes here. The pastry is also great too. I cant specifically remember any of the cakes/pastries here but all I can remember was that both were yummy.
One of my local cafes I visit quite frequently and I can say that the croissants are perfection best I’ve had and remind me of my visits to France.
Mushroom, spinach slices and sausage rolls also delicious!!!
Coffees and sweet goods are a bit of a miss here but croissants and breads are must if you’re in the area.

I honestly had a life changing moment after having my first of their ham and cheese croissants today. Absolutely amazing!
This cafe is only just ok by french standards. I also find it over priced compared to similar cafes. I have the biggest sweet tooth so the beautifully displayed and colourful desserts were my favourite. Coffee pretty average. Was looking forward to the mushroom pastry (I mean who doesn't like mushrooms) but was not impressed at all. The filling was bland and dense. Will I go again? I'm sure I will.
Best patisserie I have ever been to (and I am quite experienced working in patisserie). Highly recommend the almond croissant - I get one almost every day now! (Very sneaky). The bread rolls too are fantastic. The staff are lovely, I am a regular customer now and have become good friends with the girls working there - bright, lovely smiles and always so kind, asking me how I am going at uni, etc.
I can absolutely, 100% substantiate their claims for the best croissant in Melbourne - it is the best I have ever had. The hand-crafted details of the pastries and cakes are something else, you can tell the patience and love been put into all their range.
I used to live right near this place, and despite only going there due to convenience of proximity, to this day I occasionally reflect on how great it was.
The staff were always super friendly, the coffee was not only as good as the best cafe's in Melbourne, but they prepare it as quickly as a chain. And the pastries? Oh my God. In fact, given how big a health risk diabetes are and given how addictive the food from Filou's is I'm having a bit of a moral dillemma writing this review.
That being said, while their food is typically very rich it's also very nutritious as well. Sure, it's got a lot of "carbs" and "sugar" and "fat" but look up the typical diets and life expectancy of the French if you wanna get a glimpse at how nuanced nutrition actually is and how a multi-billion dollar diet industry tries to over-simplify it.
Aaah, real croissants on a Sunday morning.. A great way to start the day. Leave the mushroom slice for me, I am not sharing :-). A steady flow of customers from nearby and some travelling from afar, it is always a good experience.
Best service in Carlton North!
If you need to buy a take away coffee, this is the place! The staff are incredibly efficient and make a delicious coffee within minutes. Irresistible pastries with generous servings. Fresh loaves of bread and baguettes are also available.
Just the right amount of baked goods and the coffee delivers a good high round kick.
A local's delight, an ideal start to anyone's day!
The best sausage roll I have had in a very long time. And the vanilla slice was lovely. And friendly, helpful customer service. 🥰
One of the best almond croissants in melbourne, but the biggest for sure. the filling was amazing great taste and always fresh, the biggest for sure. I will definitely buy them again.
HIGHLY UNDERRATED HIDDEN GEM
Me and my mate woke up looking for a pie and coffee being new to the area wasn't sure where to go Googled and wow wow wee Wow. I had the beef and burgandy pie a mini quiche and a caramel eclair can not fault anything. Pie was delicious and big pieces of succulant steak no salt needed pastry on point and I was given a little tomatoe sauce on the side which I said to my mate is a brutal insult to this pie. My mate said his pie was amazing I had to ask because by the time I looked up he had finished it. Price was a little expensive but once I but into it I did not have a problem paying it. The worker was so lovely she was polite and friendly and the Baker even stopped and put his pies down to give a wave. Defiantly new regular was so amazed by the cakes and customer service and selection of savoury pies and tarts that I forgot to order a coffee and when the food came out to my table I was to excited to eat to even ask for a coffee.
I live just a block away so my local french patisserie - good coffee, friendly staff, nice treats and french pastry, overall great experience at reasonable prices. Much recommend!
Great coffee and pear croissant was so nice 👍 will be back !
