How we read reviews →Malvern's beloved French-style bakery where everything is baked fresh on-site daily by owner Rach
A warmly lit French-style bakery-cafe on Glenferrie Road with three distinct spaces: street-facing pavement seating, a sun-filled indoor area with an almost-outdoor feel, and a private courtyard at the rear. Calm, neighbourhood-focused energy with staff who know their regulars.
All baked fresh on-site daily by owner Rach; three seating zones for different moods; pastries available warm or heated on request; homemade sandwiches, wraps and savoury items alongside an extensive sweet range; vanilla slice and danish pastries noted as standouts; technique praised by a professional pastry chef reviewer.
Classic French bakery tradition executed with genuine skill. buttery puff pastry, layered croissants, quiches and tarts that impressed a professional Le Cordon Bleu pastry chef reviewer. The Portuguese tart (pastel de nata) reflects the French-Iberian bakery canon and is a consistent house highlight.
Price level 1. exceptional value for French-quality patisserie. Reviewers consistently note prices are fair, especially relative to other Glenferrie Road businesses. Coffee, hot chocolate and baked goods all considered well-priced for the quality delivered.
