Another day in Acland Street - another cake shop. They are all good here. But I do like this one because....the staff are so nice.
There are some delicious treats here and on a day like today, despite being winter, it was nice enough to eat outdoors at the tables. But you can eat inside as well.
Coffee is good, donuts were great. Take something home for dessert - plenty to choose from. Grabbed a vanilla slice, custard tart and a brownie for the family.
Shop has a step for those in a wheelchair. Kid friendly. Parking in St Kilda can be challenging and a little expensive at $5.40 per hour. And the inspectors are vigilant.
My favourite of the Acland Street Cake shops. Friendly owners, and a delicious range of cakes. Like all the bakeries on Acland Street, it's a little overpriced for what you get, but cakes are tasty and well made.
Coffee cannoli and coffee - double hit , sucker for coffee 🍭😍 , spacious cafe and friendly staff . Cute and a huge range of traditional and modern cakes and sweets to choose from.
Second #tiramisu i had in town. Frankly speaking, I am disappointed with the flavour. The coffee flavour is not strong, I cannot taste anything else but sweetness. .But with such a decent size I
have to admit the price is fairly reasonable.
DO: The Vanilla Slice or the Vanilla Slice or the Vanilla Slice.
DON'T: Do anything else but the Vanilla Slice. Ok, you may try a few other great options but that Vanilla Slice seriously takes the cake (pun intended).
TIP: There are 4 cake shops on Acland. Purchase one here and move on. Cake Degaustation is bad said no one ever.
Ok sweet time, too many choice on Acland St but I've heard these guys are very traditional so we ended up with the log & the eclair.
Love it very traditional and tasty.
Dee will be back.
Amazing cakes, and very friendly staff :) we had a vanilla slice and a vanilla bougatsa and both were very very nice. We will definitely be back!

In one word: Breeze-block.
This is my third installment from Acland Street, with only Europa to sample next time. Le Bon claim to have the best vanilla slice in the state...a bold statement. I admire their range; with traditional, chocolate, raspberry, strawberry and coffee options too. I chose the traditional vanilla as I thought it looked most custardy compared to the other creamier-looking options. Their slices are HUGE, like breeze-blocks crumbling with flaky pastry and oozing with sweet creamy goodness. Unfortunately, no custard filling - just cream. The whole thing was an enjoyable, messy experience to consume and left me feeling pretty stuffed. The pastry was the real hero of the slice; light, beautifully baked and as flaky as they come. As for the rest, it was really just a heavy dose of lightly whipped cream and icing sugar. Good, but definitely not the best in state.
Every cake under the sun! I real favorite in St Kilda. Nothing better than enjoying a coffee and cake outside. A little expensive than a normal bakery but only by a few dollars.
Pleasure. Have always enjoyed the cakes here. Over the years during our time there we always visit the legendary shop. Have sampled almost all the goodies. Our favourite would be anything to do with strawberry. Even the baclava is nice and crunchy. We always take cakes home as well. The service always attentive. The constant flow of people coming in out interesting. Recommend it mostly at weekends as cakes are fresher and more of a variety. Great family treat
