A Treat of France (Carlton North)

Carlton North bakery known for almond croissants, baguettes and cakes, with good coffee.

Casual neighbourhood bakery-cafe with a pastry-filled window, indoor and outdoor seating and no loud music over conversation. Reviewers call the fit-out plain, so the baking is the draw rather than the room.

Baguettes made daily with generous fillings, sourdough, a sandwich bar, a wide cake and pastry cabinet, and barista coffee including soy options, with indoor and outdoor seating.

French-style bakery; one reviewer says the owner is a trained French patissier and another compares the pastries to a French corner bakery, though a couple of reviewers found the baguettes not very French.

Reviewers consistently call it reasonably priced, with the baguettes singled out as good value. A few felt some pastries were only average compared with other Melbourne bakeries.
