AI Summary

A Carlton French patisserie famed for a vanilla slice voted Melbourne's best by The Age.

Cosy neighbourhood French bakery with a busy pastry display cabinet and a stall presence at local markets.

Custom celebration cakes including wedding croquembouche, market stall at Gleadell Street Market, house-made French pastry technique.

Genuine French patisserie technique referenced repeatedly by reviewers, including comparisons to mille-feuille, pain au chocolat, and croquembouche craftsmanship.

Prices run higher than typical bakeries, and most reviewers say the quality justifies it, though a minority found specific items (pies, one cake order) overpriced for what was delivered.
