Review Movida Bakery

Jason E

Used to be one of the best bakeries in Melbourne. Quality has slid since it changed ownership. Food now is mediocre. Sausage rolls as an example used to be astounding - perfectly made. Now, not great - chunks of bread and poorly mixed. Sandwiches also miss the care that went into them previously. Also seem very unorganised with service, and messy behind the counter and in the kitchen. Very different to what it used to be.

Absolutely gorgeous pastries. Found this place when I was doing a mystery picnic experience. The locals obviously knew about this place as it was quite busy. Would definitely come again

Nicholas D

I go here very often as my local bakery and the bread, sandwiches and pastries are always great. Pretty suss on a gourmet sausage roll though, i prefer the ones from the servo! Only reason for 4 stars is because it opens quite late for a barkery. The coffee is pretty good too

Michelle C

My favourite cafe in Melbourne ☺️ Tomato and ham cheese croissant is a must, Sausage roll and chicken, leek mushroom pie is yum also!

Malcolm Young

Most of the sought after baked goods (Almond Croissants) still disappear before the lunch hour.

Elizabeth Rock

Was told that this bakery does the best pies in Melbourne and that is the 100% truth. I had the beef pie and it’s heavy in your mouth. Well worth the money spent. Will definitely be adding this bakery to my morning walks.

Steven B

Simply the best bakery in Melbourne IMHO. I come here fortnightly for breads, palmier and the weekend specials. Never disappointing, staff are lovely (especially at the early hours!) and coffee is good too.

Baking Bad Melbourne

There’s a reason Tivoli Rd Bakery are one of the best - Highly recommended paying them a visit and trying EVERYTHING

Melbourne, Let’s Eat

Came here on a Sunday arvo at around 1 for the first time. Learnt that we should’ve came here earlier! All the bread was sold out so we just got ourselves a fresh ham, pickle mustard sandwich and a vegemite twist. The sandwich was amazing! The break was still soft and moist and had a very tasty crust which I’m not usually a fan of. You can never go wrong with a vegemite pastry either. Need to come back earlier for some bread and other sweet pastries.

Steph

One of the hidden bakeries 🍞 Stumbled upon it by accident. Pies were pretty good, reasonable amount of fillings and the crust was not too thick 🥧 But the sandwich was a lil let down, was kinda flat in taste 🥪 🗓 Visited in September 2018

Elizabeth Lee

My friend and I went there on a Thursday wanting some good beef pies but they sold out (our fault, we went there around 2pm). They were already cleaning up for the day but they gladly sat us down by the window so we ordered a pork and garlic sausage roll. It was DELICIOUS! The pastry was buttery, the meat was well seasoned and I really loved the chilli jam they gave to pair with as well. We decided to come back earlier on a Friday but the beef pies had sold out :( one of the staff offered us a frozen chicken pie to take home instead. Upon arriving to the counter, she included an additional free pie and provided instructions on how to heat up the pie as well. We’re definitely going to come back for more - beautiful pies but great service!!

MelbourneLops

Best pies in Melbourne. Hands down! This was a beef cheek pie with their signature sweet and spicy relish. Yum! They have lots of other goodies as well. Get in early because the pies sell out fast!

Suan

If you are looking for a gourmet pie, look no further. This place has great tasting pie at a reasonable price. It can get quite busy during lunch hour on weekdays. They also have a great range of fresh bread, sandwiches and cakes. 😋

Paul Panapiwat

Bread oh bread! Love them all we got. Rhubarb Danish. Plain butter crossaint. Cured Salmon on rye. Fabulous place for baking goods. And staff is friendly too.

Foodie

Ahhh all things pastry!! *mouth drooling* The never ending choices of which pastry to choose from. Though you need to go in super early before they are sold out. They're all delicious. Flaky and minimal sugar which I absolutely love. Try their savoury sandwiches, you wont be disappointed. Coffee is also a winner

Natalieperkov

This adorable hidden bakery with fresh pastries, doughnuts and bread, along with its perfect coffee, has my heart. Good luck deciding what to have!

Joanne | Melbournecitay

Saw the high reviews and my workout was just around the corner so I popped by. It’s close to Como centre. Limited seats and there was quite a crowd but we found a small table within 5 mins on a Saturday morning. As pies were only available after 11am, we couldn’t order them! Sad. Ordered an almond croissant and doughnut instead. Enjoyed the raspberry jam in the doughnut, yum!the almond croissant was not the best I’ve had in Melbourne but generous amounts of almond is always a big plus to me. Would come back again for the pies.

ToorakM

I’m going to start with a positive; those donuts are so damn delicious. They are almost too good. Especially the lemon curd and salted caramel ones! Just yum. But the pies and the sausage rolls I purchased today were very very very average. My sausage roll was a pork, apple and fennel seed roll with huge lumps of gristle and more gross... congealed protein lumps on the pastry that were so unappetising I couldn’t have another bite. Make beef ones, with lean meat... that’s all I can say. The chicken pie was good - very flavoursome. The beef pie I had unfortunately had raw pastry on the bottom and the whole taste was like soap; way too much rosemary or something herby in there. I’ve been to about 6 pie places the last month (I don’t know why I think as I was overseas the last year and I didn’t eat a single pie I’m making up for lost time) but these were not my faves. I know that’s obviously highly controversial amongst the cafe snobs in the area but 2.5 out of 5 (I so wish they had a half star here) But I’ll be back for the donuts. They’re amazing.

Ozzy Kunnu

It's been on our list for a long long time, and finally when we reached (After our brunch), almost everything was over. So had no option but to grab something from the available choices ( hardly few...Could count on fingers) custard doughnut and blueberry apple pie. Both were DELISCIOUS Aka DELISH Returning soon....And a bit early so that we get to try their other stuff.

Emptystomach

Finally got to try the acclaimed Tivoli Road Bakery. I tried the canele, bundt cake and palmier. Can’t fault any of these. The glazed palmier is really heavenly with the burned caramel. For more foodie goodness follow my ig: emptystomach

Samuel Giles

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been intoxicated by the alluring offerings of a bakery. Whether it be a fresh loaf of bread, a sandwich, or just a good ol’ pie, bakeries and I have a special relationship. It was a weekday morning, when I decided to hit up Tivoli Road Bakery for a sandwich. This popular lil’ bakery has been on my list for quite awhile, and I was curious to see if they’d meet my high expectations.

Sim Sim

This place is definitely a winner in the best croissant competition that is currently sweeping Melbourne. Deliciously buttery, flaky, well layered and tasty topped with butter and their fabulous jam I was immediately addicted and have been thinking about them ever since. The coffee is great and the custard donuts are delightful too. Despite the bakery’s tiny size it provides a great atmosphere if you want to sit inside. Nice, friendly staff too.

TheWhiteSherpa

Most fancy bakery you can find. Only about 20 seats but a wide range of options available: pastries, pies, cakes. Freshly baked pastries and great croissants.

Chai

Very nice sourdough bread and pastries!! Visited Tivoli Road Bakery on weekday morning and there were many customers craving their beautiful coffee and bread. Shop is small but tidy, and has cool decor. It was a shame that some bread were sold out and there were not many options to choose.

Maya Soe

Went here couple of weeks ago to try their beef pie but it was sold out so the girl suggested their chicken and mushroom pie and it was so gewd! I came back on the next day to try the beef pie for the fair judgment and I think their chicken pie is better. A must try! Will definately come back again to try all their menu!

Thuaners

Wowsers! That pie! I came here last week, but the pies had been sold out. We had eaten one of the chicken sandwiches instead, which was wuite delicious! But today i decided to come back to try one of their pies! I asked the man serving me which one he recommended, and he said the chicken pie. I am so glad i went with his recommendation. It was delicious! My main thought when eating it was OMG. The tomato sauce they give u was delicious as well! And i love the crust!! Yup one of the best pies ive eaten!

Fatcat

Great coffee. Beautiful, beautiful doughnuts. We had a nutella filled one that was so light and fluffy, but oozing with chocolate-y hazelnut-y goodness on the inside.

LouLou Loves Food

When I find my self on this side of town early enough I’ll always drop into Tivoli Rd Bakery. A small bakery that is packed full of goodies and amazing bread. The morning bun and mini pear bundt cake are so delicious. Also their donuts are amazing. If you are there early enough grab a mini brioche bun with egg and bacon. Amazing.

FoodN

Simply the best olive bread in Melbourne! Beautiful hot cross buns and the fruit mince pies at Christmas time are also not to be missed. Busy cafe which would benefit from more seating.

Sam Blackman

This place is hands down the best bakery for pastries I have come across in Melbourne. Ingredients are quite obviously of the highest quality, fillings on pies/sausage rolls are non conventional and perfectly delicious. Meat to filling ratio is balanced and casing is buttery yet light (is that even possible??) Only slight downside is coffee not being top notch (though not terrible either). Service pleasant and love a fizzy water after a sausage roll

Uyen

The caramel doughnut was delicious. I was worried that it'll be too sweet but biting into it I was met with a citrus (sour to combat the sweetness). I could have seconds. The filling was generous. The service was friendly and quick.

Connoisseurc

Haven’t been to Lune but the best plain croissant ($4.5) and pain au chocolat I’ve had in Melbourne. Pastries larger than average size. More of a modern pastry rather than rustic French.

"JT" Jeffrie Trika

For the early birds .... Especially on weekends, by 13:00 their signature Croissants are gone and they don't bake them any more, strange business concept ..... Just to make us come back for more .... coffee are well made, smooth and above average too; Small Batch and La Marzocco combo. Artisans bread are around $7 and those sweet pastries are around $4 .... Ham & Cheese Croissant is about $7.50. JT-22/10/2017.

Arijit Das

Often held by the locals as THE BEST bakery this side of the Yarra - Tivoli Bakery lives up to its reputation as the best in the business. My favorite is the Sourdough loaf - all sliced up for you.

Emily Morris

Tiny little bakery. Had a croissant and doughnut nothing to rave over. Can definitely get better pastries elsewhere. Coffee I think is served around 60 degrees which makes it sweeter but dang if you don't slurp it down it's cold in about two minutes.

Pat

Lovely coffee, great bread and the pastries and sweet treats are good too. Come past here every now and again for coffee and a loaf of bread and am always satisfied. Especially in the mornings if the sun is out and I'm sitting in it on the benches out the front :)

Freddie Diaz

Very nice easy going take away bakery. Yammi selection of different pastry and cakes. Very good bread too. Customer attendants a bit overwhelmed and stress to receive complements but no complaints. Food bakery to go that I was look for was absolutely great

Ignatia

I've always wanted to try their sausage roll but it was always sold out, so I came early today. I think it was a pretty good sausage roll overall. I like how there is a sweetness in it because I find sausage rolls too salty sometimes. Also, I think their chicken pies are really good, I recommend. And their coffee? Amazing👌🏼

Anastasia Alamaras

THE PiES!!!!! If you have never been a pie fan, this place will make you one! Coffee is good too. Get in early or take away, because this place is always packed!!!

Joanna Shaddai

Tried their all-grains salad (pictured) and their soy and linseed sourdough bread (not pictures). Their salad was amazing! It was so filling and for $10.5, it was worth it! Their sourdough wasn't the best. It was good, slightly better than woolworths', but it wasn't as good as abacus' (in my opinion) Overall, would come back to try more of their croissants, doughnuts, salads, etc!

Fanny Foodie

Like this little place. Really cosy. The hot chocolate is very nice . The bread is legendary and the viennoiseries are very good too. Had breakfast there and share danishes and fresh baguette and trust me it's worth it !!

Ted Mac Gregor

Nice staff great coffee and yummy treats to eat. Fit out is simple but effective. All positive but we came near closing time and we're rushed out the door basically kicked out maybe just tone it down a bit. We did not over stay and we're basically going anyway so no need to sweep under our feet. Small touches go a long way.

Brandon

Probably one of the best bakeries I've been to - the food here is fantastic! Had the sausage roll and chicken pie: the pastry is flakey and delicious, with the fillings equally tasty to match. Finished off with a caramel donut and pear/brown butter cake which was extremely moist, but not too sweet. The venue is relatively small but it seems like the majority of people get take away, so you should get a seat easily enough. All in all I would recommend this bakery to anybody.

Jesse Watson

Most incredible pies, cakes and slices. Great customer service as well. There iced latte are to die for and make sure you get the potato and rosemary pie! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Paradise

Sandwiches and pies have generous fillings, are fresh and are made with love. I buy the soy linseed loaf sometimes. It isn't too dense and keeps its moisture in an airtight bread bag. The coffee boy offers a genuine smile to most customers. The pastries look like artworks. It just shows that this bakery truly cares about its community. It doesn't set out to make a profit, but instead provides a place to enjoy food and have a coffee.

The Broneills

Cool bakery/cafe in South Yarra - does sensational sandwiches and pies. Coffee and cakes are really nice too, but get in early as things sell out.

Cocktails&Chocolate

A great little bakery tucked away in South Yarra. The prices are a little steep - sandwiches are $10.5 each, but seeing as they are delicious and extremely fresh I don't feel too bad about paying this amount. I often get the feeling the pies have been heated for too long, but they have some yummy and not too typical options available. I haven't tried any of the cakes but they look amazing. The place gets very busy at lunch time and I'm not sure why they don't write down what sandwiches are available for the day on a board, so the staff doesn't have to repeat over and over what's on offer for the day.

FoodforThought

Tivoli is sure a popular and busy cafe although it didn't take too long to queue. Got a tray of delicacies for a friend but I got to try one raspberry cream donut myself. It was light and fluffy without being heavy, which made it quite enjoyable. Although I didn't get to taste the rest, by their looks I could tell they're good stuff.

Pauliwag

(Monday 27/2/2017) Ordered the roast chicken sandwich. Really enjoyed it. Although, it looks simple but the breads were the highlight of the meal. Breads were made fresh. The chicken goes so well with the garlic aioli. Love the aroma, taste, texture. Croissant were alright but really enjoyed the Almond croissant, best almond croissant I had so far. Financier is amazing. Love the crumbly stuffs on top. Moist and fragrant. Long black was good. Love the temperature and acidity. The place is small, but we did enjoy the atmosphere, it felt busy but efficient. You can see people just kept on coming in just to buy the bread. Will come back again.

Granz

WOW - their sausage rolls.. I don't even like sausage rolls and I crave their sausage rolls. The soda bread is also an excellent take on the Irish tradition, hearty with a dash of sweetness. Definitely worth dropping in on for some easy sustenance on a morning.

Dimsumforone

Ratio decidendi: The only pie in Melbourne that has come close to being in the same league as that of Bakerie in NSW. Buttery and flaky on the outside, with a hearty filling that’s as generous as it is tasty. The eggplant pie was a bit of a letdown but perhaps a case of being a relative failure to its more successful protein siblings. Sandwiches were delish as well but it’s the pies that’ll keep the punters coming back.

Reagan Gruenthal

Really fresh and quality food. Bread is... well.... amazing. We tried the Sourdough and one of the Multigrain varieties with our sandwiches. Coffee was really good as well.

Rosie Mansfield

Adorable little sleek bakery serving up high-end baked goods, the croissants are fabulous. Only problem is no bathroom and its location is next to a service station. Good place to drink good coffee and read the paper in peace.

Greent

I can't seem to buy anything other than the delicious donuts and creative sandwiches here because they are SO good! Not cheap, but worth it.

MandyToorak

Adore absolutely everything on the menu. Things I've tried: salt caramel filled donut, vanilla filled donut, pain au chocolat Coffee: purchased a cappuchino and it was perfect Decor of the cafe: nicely done out in wood, though would be nice to have a few extra seats as it gets busy here (for good reason).

Jianierrrrrr

Been wanted to try this place for long time, went on Sunday and it was not overcrowded. They had few tables and chair outdoor as well as indoor. All the bread, pastry and cakes were hand-made by tivoli road bakery, include drinks and soda. The coffee was good with extra smooth milk foam and decent coffee aroma. This time, we tried the pie and sausage roll. There were three flavors of pie,included vegan, beef and ham. The filling was tasty with chunks of beef meat and vegetables but the bottom pastry was too hard and dry. The sausage roll was better with flaky and buttery pastry shell and juicy, tasty fillings. It was nice, especially had it with the home made sweet chili capsicum sauce, they were just perfect match! We ended up ordering a salad to help ease the heavy breakfast :) . Surprisingly the salad was great too with roasted pumpkin, spinach, mint, parsley, cheese, dried berry etc; very nutritious and light. I just couldn't resist the gorgeous looking doughnuts! We shared one with salted caramel filling. The yeast doughnuts itself was so soft and sponge, the filling was sweet but not too overpowering, such a nice dessert to have~ We would come back for more sweets and try their sandwiches and freshly baked bread to take home next time.

Bernie L

Lovely place for pies, pastries, croissant and coffee. This is one of my favourite weekday breakfast place. Great service and they make one of the tastiest and fresh breads available. Love their beef pie and croissant.... yum

Melbourne To Mouth

I love this place. I spend a great deal of time thinking about which one of their amazing doughnuts to have. Recently I went and ordered a 100% Rye loaf, which I don't have the upper body strength to cut. After two slices I'm done until the next day. It's that thick. It's that good. Their hot chocolates and coffees are good and the granola selection on offer is a taste sensation. I'm yet to actually stay for breakfast but it's on the cards, as soon as I get past the donuts...

Ye Liu

Went there around 12pm, and didn't have a lot bakery options left. Choose the lemon curd donut, which is pretty average comparing to the one I tried in Baker D. Plain crossiant is average as well. Little disappointed, might need to go earlier to have more options next time.

Yas Food

My favourite bakery in all of Melbourne. Get any of the home made pies and a bomboloni (mini Italian donuts). If they have the matcha one, it's a must! They also do a salad of the day which has nearly tempted me away from the pies and pastries on many an Occassion. They just look so fresh and good with interesting combinations.

Essie

After seeing Tivoli on the list of top donut spots in Melbourne, of course we had to check it out! Our verdict - while everyone else seems to enjoy the donuts, we didn't so much. Here's why. The raspberry in the raspberry and PB donut was overpowering. Didn't help that the raspberry was also seedy which I understand is a preference rather than taste. As for the salted caramel donut, the sauce was delicious but on both accounts, the taste of the donut itself seemed too buttery. The big wins in our opinion was the coffee (we had two lattes each) and pie. The beef and stout pie is one of the better pies I've had. The tomato relish that it came with went perfectly. The coffee - 👌🏽 I agree with another reviewer about the service - a little hit and miss for me. Very helpful yet slightly unresponsive especially while ordering at the counter. A simple gesture of a smile can go a long way. Overall, might come back if I was in the area.

Frenchtoastandindiepop

In the pretty, tree lined streets of South Yarra you’ll find the cute little bakery and coffee shop, Tivoli Road Bakery. The space is relatively small but we’ll configured with polished marble floors, a mesh of wood and white. The offerings are what you would expect, mostly just bakery items with some small meals available.

Shlomi

This small bakery is always a pleasure for us. Whether it's for their tasty and unique sandwiches and toast or just for delicious pastries and the great coffee.

Doran

This bakery is a gem of the Toorak/South Yarra area. They make excellent bread but also exceptional sweets, like their donuts which come in many flavours (eg. Tiramisu, lemon, etc). The coffee is good and the bakery has a cozy little eating area with timber tables where you can catch up with mates over a meal. The sun floods in through the large shopfront windows. I had the smoked trout on rye bread last time and it was just perfect.

Littlemissyh

Delicious pastries! Kouign amman - buttery and caramelised well, not the best kouign amman but still very good! Chocolate cookie with halva - very interesting that they added halva, and I love the intense chocolate flavour and chocolate chunks and has a nice chewy texture. Salted caramel doughnut - great dough texture and had a hint of citrus! Bundt cake - nice cake texture and not too sweet. Lastly, the sausage roll is one of the best I've had, the price is a bit steep but it's nevertheless delicious with a slightly sweet & spicy condiment. Needless to say, I'll be back soon! I wanted to try the morning buns but they only sell them during Friday - Sunday. Coffee is not bad too.

JZY

很喜欢早晨来这喝杯咖啡吃个donut，然后买个sourdough带走，这儿不是那种咖啡超好喝的时尚地，却让你有一种生活的归属感，每一种甜品或面包都做的恰当的好吃，不过分，但让你离不开。I do enjoy a morning tea here, having a coffee and donut then grab a freshly baked sourdough to go. It's not a place makes you feel fashionable, but a place that belongs to your everyday life. PERFECT FOOD, the breads, the desserts, the pies, every single food they made with heart.

Bird S.

I enjoy the sandwich here. The bread use on the sandwiches feel healthy and give an additional element to the sandwich. I usually drink espresso and like it a bit acidic. The coffee here is just right for my taste. The donut here is also great. It's not one of those specialty donut store but the texture of donuts here are better than most of them specialty stores. The flavors are a bit limited just 1-2 per weekday.

Cody Jack Harmon

Best olive bread in the country. NEVER stop making it! Eat it for lunch on weekends with poached eggs twice a week without fail. Caramel doughnuts are the best I have had and coffee is great comparatively to Melbourne which is vital for anyone opening a cafe or bakery. Best bakery in the country I have been to.

Eat&Review

Today I had the pleasure of having lunch here. And I have found a place that does one of the most amazing roasted pork sandwiches ever. No joke. It was absolutely delicious. It was followed by an incredibly fresh and delicious cinnamon custard scrolls paired with an equally delicious skinny cappuccino. I absolutely loved every single thing I had here. Next time I'll definitely buy one of their loaves of bread and have a slice of heaven at home ❤️ highly recommend

Mashud Miah

Delicious pies and coffee. Nice little shop too. (My Mrs told me to write that but I also agree). Generous chilli chutney to go with. Good selection of sweets as well.

Julycheee

It would be nice if there was better signage as I didn't know what pastries there were or their prices until I asked. Loved the sandwich of chipotle pork belly, crackling, charred corn and coleslaw. The flavours were amazing but being cold, the crackling was rather hard and rubbery. To be honest, the plain croissant was fairly average at best. But the doughnuts were so delicious! The lemon meringe was amazing, which was generously stuffed with tart lemon curd. The prices were really good, and I can see myself coming back for sweet treats or a tasty and filling sandwich. Lunch time is probably too late and I would go earlier to see what special treats they have!

TheBearReview

Patisserie vienoisserie heaven. Absolutely delightful pastries, sourdoughs and donuts. Drop in for a coffee and croissant. You won't be disappointed.

Kate

Great service and cute setting. The food is amazing - the sausage rolls, the croissants and the bread is game changing. The coffee is also excellent. The perfect corner bakery, I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Sugar_licks

Outstanding. Staff are just so relaxed and welcoming, ordered a little bacon egg brioche and a coffee for breakfast, absolutely smashing - beautiful soft moreish brioche bun with a beautifully cooked egg with a lovely capsicum relish - coffee was hot. Everything was served within 5 minutes, I can't wait to revisit and try the sweet pastries

Barish

Been here for the first time and I was quite impressed. Friendly, good manner service. Good coffee and nice patisseries. Will go back for sure.

Gerd

Great donuts. Great bread. Great coffee. Great service....really not much more to say, except the Lamington Donut on Australia Day makes me well up with patriotic fervour

Queen Of Food

Tivoli has delicious pies and sandwiches, even their desserts are great!! The food here is delicious and the flavour combinations are well thought and unique! A few things though hold me back from giving tivoli top marks. 1. On a number of occasions I've been they have no vegetarian options are available no matter if you go at 11am or 1.30pm - some days they don't make any at all which is disappointing as they are not catering to all their customers. 2. They don't make enough sandwiches or pies to keep up with demand! I've been there a heap of times at 12pm and they have sold out of pretty much every lunch option and their display is empty. With such a long line of customers you would think they would make more to keep customers happy and make more business. 3. Sometimes their service is lacking which is so disappointing as the food is divine! The service at times is not friendly or welcoming and while standing in front of the counter you are ignored until you ask to be served. I'd love to give this place top marks but think there's a few things to nut out before.

David Food Leasing

DO: The morning bun, salted chocolate and rye cookie. DON'T: Forget their always on point sausage rolls, meat pies and assorted sandwiches (pork with crackling ... Drool). TIP: Park opposite (unfortunately it's paid parking). Sit at the high bench or better yet outside, heaps of doggies to pat.

KatMmm

We were obviously too late at 10:30am on a rainy Saturday morning to try any of their famous cronut or danish creations. Little was left beyond the donuts and bread loaves. The honeycomb donut was good, but the coffee was average and the lack of space inside to sit and stay warm is a serious downside in the Melbourne winter.

Lisa Holmen

There’s a delicious aroma on Tivoli Road, which has hordes of hungry locals and tourists salivating at the slightest whiff. Follow your nose towards the lingering smell of freshly baked breads and pastries and you’ll soon find one of South Yarra’s most popular haunts, the Tivoli Road Bakery, just a stone’s throw from Toorak Road.

Happy Eater

Ohhhh now found a new favourite place. Coffee is the best I have had. Simply divine! My favourite dish is the smashed cannelloni beans with celery and chilli on toast. It is a seasonal dish so not available all year, but my favourite. Have tried their lemon curd donuts and hot cross buns as well. Loved them! Also had some delicious bread, homemade pie and a chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwich is a must try......

Mariposa

The type of place you come to on a sunny breezy day wearing your floral summer dress- highly nostalgic and homely feel with the most seductive and indulgent artisan pastries. Sweet and savory comfort food. The croissants and Danishes (my favorite) come in traditional and modern flavors- with nuts and fruits. The pastries are thick and slightly dense- very sensual to bite! The sweetness is always subtle & balanced. The quality here is always of high standards. I always have to be sitting down when I eat the donuts from Tivoli Road bakery as they make me weak in the knees!! Goose bumps inducing!...

N R

good coffee, great service. and the baked goods are one of the best in melb! i have tried everything from the regular croissant to the seasonal HCB, the bakery never disappoints.

Ravvy

Doughnuts, Fresh breads, pastries, short breads! This Bakery / Cafe is a great place to visit in South Yarra. Highly recommend trying anything that tickles your fancy at this place, its truly a quality bakery with some of the freshest doughnuts and pastries I've ever had, most likely due to the large queue here, forcing them to continuously bake new goods for customers :) - Can't complain. Love this gem! 4/5

Mrs Lavender

Come here quite often for their donuts . My favorite one is salted caramel, peanut butter is good too. Once they have the spiced pumpkin donuts but it was seasoned limited edition. Love this bakery:)

Chisyelda Oey

Very small cafe, parking was super hard to find because it's always busy. Got some doughnuts for takeaway which took me 5 mins, but I spent 15 mins to find parking... The staff was friendly and efficient, couldn't say much about the food as I only tried their doughnuts. The doughnuts were good, but didn't enjoy the vanilla filling very much as it was kind of sour, probably too much vanilla/orange zest. The chocolate was really nice though. Would so love to come back and try other things, too bad the parking is such a pain.

Penguineats

The roll was overall okay. Seemed relatively fresh, quite fluffy and soft inside. Could do with more butter in the dough though to give it a richer taste. However definitely not a fan of the sesame seeds on top. This ain’t a burger and you don’t even sell burgers!

Whitney

Best bakery in all of Melbourne!! Between the freshly baked treats, friendly staff, and strong coffee - nothing beats this quaint, sweet little corner cafe. It was my local when I lived in the neighborhood and it's the thing I miss most about South Yarra now that I don't. Can't recommend it enough!

CLABEL

Small cafe in the alley but very busy. Tried their famous hot cross buns. I think it's just alright, the bun is soft, not too sweet which is good. However in general I prefer chocolate HCB rather than the fruit ones, too bad they don't have it. Looking forward to try the other creations.

May

Best hot cross buns! So glad we preordered them as they were selling out so fast. Moist , beautifully glazed and full of yum! Highly recommended !

WG

We heard that they have the best hot cross buns in town and I must say that they are excellent, especially since we got them straight out of the oven. Pricey, though. $4 apiece and it was odd that they don't have them ready when they open the doors at 7:30am but rather at 8:30. I would have thought that for a long weekend for an obvious in-demand item they would be ready early. Strongly advise that you order in advance so you don't have to wait in line. I waited about 25 minutes. We also sat down for a coffee and pastry. Both were really lovely. The only thing about the setting is that there is not nearly enough lighting to read the paper which they do offer for free. With all of that said, I'd be glad to return to try their breads.

Ruthie

I'd heard great things about Tivoli Road Bakery and I've been following them on Instagram for a while. I had the chance a couple of weeks ago to get down to South Yarra and pay them a visit. I'm a bit of a cafe addict and I'm pretty sure I know a great bakery when I find one. This is the bees knees in my book!! There was a lovely choice of cakes, buns, tarts and breads coming out of their ovens that was seriously impressive! It was around Easter time so they were baking some of the best hot cross buns in Melbourne this Easter. We tried the buns and one of their sublime raspberry tarts and a couple of excellent coffees. I will definitely be back when I'm over this side of town and can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. Coffee 3.5/5 Food 4.5/5

Love the pastries but disappointed too many times with the coffee. After my five minute drive home with my take away coffee, I opened it up and my soy coffee had completely separated, looked like scrambled eggs. Disgusting

Donuts are sinfully delightful and the chocolate cardamon tart blew my mind. Coffee wasn't all that great, though I didn't come in for that! Definitely a place to go to spoil yourself.

Went to this cafe today on the recommendation of a friend who suggested I try this place. I was going to sit in but it was really quite busy, but the staff were really friendly. Now I love light buttery croissant but today I got a croissant which was good, but not outstanding. I brought a loaf of biodynamic bread, took it home and that was really good, yumm! The loaf had a crispy crust, so good that it didn't need toasting. I enjoyed the bread with some home cooked free range boiled eggs and grilled bacon. Perfect :-)

I think this is the best bakery in this area. Bread, pastries and cafe meals are all delicious and the staff are super chilled and friendly so it's always a nice place to go for a coffee or to just run in and grab a loaf of rye or something.

This of course is total wishful thinking on my part as Tivoli Road Bakery items are so incredibly scrumptious that there is no way that anyone could stop at just one bite.

Sensational bakery / cafe... Highly recommend the granola, topped with fresh figs, berries and yogurt - FANTASTIC - excellent coffee, and a location to sit, relax and watch the day go by.

This place has already become a favourite. A yummy selection of sweet and savoury pastries, amazing breads and great coffee. Just fabulous. My fave has been toast with green and red tomatoes, olives and cheese - just the right amount of filling and beautifully fresh. Highly recommend, if you're around the place!

Great bakery! While not my favourite (La Brioche is in a league of its own), it's hard to fault Tivoli Road Bakery. Their sandwiches are unsuspecting good and pies packed with flavour. It's a little odd when the tomato relish which accompanies the pies are better than the main itself... Lives up to the hype so do yourself a favour and drop by.

I love donuts so I found myself checking this place after I found out that they sell them here. I came in and I really liked the way the place was set up. I would love to come in here when they just baked the breads. That would be an experience. As I saw the cabinet with donuts I started drooling over salted caramel and lemon curd. I also wanted to check out their coffee so I ordered skinny latte. It was passable but I really enjoyed the donuts that I will come back for more.

Tivoli has long been my favourite local bakery. The addition of their sandwiches a while back made me visit even more regularly and now with the fresh, tasty salads - amazing flavour combinations I can hardly stay away :) keep it up guys! 😃

If wanting anything more substantial than a coffee and sweet come after 11am when the sandwiches come out. And the sandwiches are worth waiting for! Chicken and Waldorf sandwich was incredibly filling and the bread was amazing!!! It actually has apple and grapes inside!! The babaganoush and broccolini sandwich tasted even better!! Cute spot for a pick me up if you're in the area but probably wouldn't venture out to visit.

Came here on a busy Saturday morning, almond croissant and doughnut was delicious. Not many seats to enjoy it unfortunately. Coffee was reasonable too.

Great bakery, the gluten free bread is amazing, and the price is alright $7, the croissants are pretty good, the place is nice, you can seat outside if you want to drink something. Great quality, maybe a little bit expensive.

Amongst all the cafes and restaurants it’s reassuring that you can still have a pleasant little bakery in the area. It reminds of a country bakery. The cakes look food and the donuts seem popular but we only had a sausage roll and a pie. Could see us coming back!
