How we read reviews →Kew's light-filled patisserie cafe with extraordinary cakes and standout croissants.
Beautiful, light-filled space with high ceilings and large corner windows at the heart of Kew Junction. Display cabinets showcase an impressive array of cakes and pastries. Indoor seating plus a small outdoor street area. Busy and noisy at peak times. the buzzing energy is part of the draw for many regulars. Cosy and inviting on quieter weekday mornings.
Custom celebration cakes available for order online with 72-hour lead time. praised for weddings, birthdays, and milestones. Uses Niccolo coffee. Seasonal pastry menu includes hot cross buns (Easter), Tuscan apple cake, and rotating unique flavour combinations. Cake Tasting Box available for those wanting to sample before committing to a whole cake.
Modern European patisserie tradition executed with an Australian sensibility. Seasonal Australian ingredients (wattleseed, plum) appear in pastry flavours alongside classic French-inspired forms (croissants, danishes).
Premium patisserie pricing that is genuinely divisive. Fans consider extraordinary cakes worth the cost; critics cite $20 for two coffees and a biscuit, or $29 for six mince pies, as excessive. The cakes in particular are praised as worth the splurge. the Basque cheesecake and Beatrice cake consistently over-deliver on taste.
