Laurent offers exceptional coffee, pastries, baked goods and sandwiches. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Cannot fault the quality or service of Laurent.
Bread made of dreams!!! So fresh, so tasty. Once you try Laurent bread, you will be hooked. When you visit Laurent Bakery you need to do 2 things. Eat their desserts and eat their bread. 100% do the duo!
The desserts and bakery goods are delicious and top quality. Must try the bora bora, mietta and castel desserts. The coffee here is great too. The ciabatta and other breads from the bakery are the best money can buy. Great place for catching with friends.
Freshly baked bread with a quality brew. My go to when at Eastland. A good experience that is consistent across the board.
I can always rely on Laurent to deliver the goods, as I find them consistent throughout all their stores. When I'm after a nice coffee and French pastry, I know that Laurent is a good choice. Situated in a great location in Eastland shopping centre, this cafe is attractive and clean.
The staff were excellent, and I found them friendly and patient despite it being quite busy. The coffee was fantastic, and our choc chip cream puff, and lemon meringue tart were both amazing and delicious. Everything looks pretty, and I always find it difficult to choose from the amazing array of treats. Laurent is a cafe staple that I know I will return to time and time again.
I've been to many Laurent's across Melbourne and their coffee is consistently great. The Eastland store is located in front of Myer just below the Outdoor Dining Precinct, with plenty of seats both inside and outside.
I had a quick cuppa before going shopping and my flat white was spot on. Strong and hot (not scolding!), while not overly milky, allowing one to taste the flavour profile of the beans. While $4.25 for a small with no extras is higher than Melbourne's $4 standard, many places now charge $4.50 or more and 25c is worth a guaranteed hit.
Laurent's also sell a variety of cakes, pastries, sandwiches and pies. Their produce is consistently fresh and tasty, while priced at the market rate. The smaller cakes for approx $10 are intricately decorated and super Instagramable. The only thing I don't like is charging extra for dining in (no one else does this) but it's not a deal breaker.
The bora bora cake (chocolate outside) was incredibly amazing. The texture was consistent and the sweetness was at the right consistency. The raspberry with the chocolate ring was really nice and it was really fluffy and had that good raspberry flavour as mention by the cake name
A rainy day had us come to Laurent at Eastland! Feeling like the sweet tooth’s we are, we thought we’d get a cake to accompany our drinks.
What we ordered:
Skinny hot chocolate
Cappuccino in a mug
Concorde
Citrus Meringue
Couldn’t fault the coffee / hot chocolate, the strength of both was great. The Concorde was literally death by chocolate. There was so much chocolate in it that unfortunately the hot chocolate drink could not be finished. The Citrus Meringue was as refreshing as you’d expect but lacked the crust we were wanting.
There are multiple Laurent Boulangerie patisseries around town and their display cabinets are always filled with multiple colourful and tasty creations.
We opted for the passionfruit tart today which looked plain but tasted complex. The thin crust was not too sweet and balanced out the filling. There was enough of a hint of passionfruit in the almost perfect custard which resulted in a combination of sweet and tangy flavours. The end result was a tart that was devoured in record time!
Such a quiet understated place. Its away from the hustle and bustle of the regular shoppers. Great array of pastries and sweets. A coffee a pie was just right for afternoon tea.
Their desserts are really yummy and so many choices to choose from. It will take you a while as their desserts look stunning and yummy. The coffee was great too!
Naturally people want to copy my great ideas so for my sisters engagement party yesterday she chose to replicate the macaron tower I had at mine last year. I popped into Laurent in the morning to pick them up pre ordered and they were all ready to go. I took a moment to marvel at all the deliciousness in relative quiet as they had just opened and it gave me a clear view of the cabinets full of satiating goodies which are frankly all taste sensation masterpieces. The macarons were the absolute star of the party and were greedily gobbled up in an instant. It just goes to show you can never have enough of these little lovelies
Friendly service , clean environment , delicious choux pecan & citrus cake . Earl grey tea with milk & latte . Wonderful tea time ❤️ the lady in the counter is really nice even we used the entertainment coupon , which is definitely a plus 😊
Place where we would stop by and have our coffee after a hard day shopping. Close to Myer, the service is always prompt and place is always bustling with people. Try the cheese toastie!
Nice and consistent coffee. Service is usually fast. Desserts and cakes are delicious, as are the baguettes. A regular stop for us most weekends. The olive sourdough bread loaf is great as a takeaway. It'd be nice if they had a loyalty card as we come here quite a lot.
Another Laurent - there's not much to say about the food which is the same whichever Laurent you go to. However, the relatively newly-opened Laurent at Eastland Shopping Centre does stand out from the rest. There is ample space and plenty of tables, both inside and out the front, creating an open atmosphere. The decor inside (mural of Paris in particular) add to the French feel. Service is quite efficient even during busy periods. Definitely one of the better Laurent's.
The other day I was wanting a quick bite to eat in between shopping and walking around so I stopped into the newly opened Laurent in Eastland shopping centre. The cafe itself looked rather fancy yet the menu was rather basic. Sandwiches, rolls, cakes, pies etc. After looking over the menu I decided on a weak latte and chocolate macaroons.
