The South Melbourne Bakery

South Melbourne bakery whose almond croissant regulars rate above Melbourne's famous names.

Small, cosy neighbourhood bakery with bench seating out front. casual and unpretentious, run with genuine warmth by its owner.

House-made almond croissants with a heavy frangipane filling, described by multiple reviewers as rivalling Melbourne's best-known croissant specialists.

Pastry technique draws comparisons to French patisserie craft, though it's run day-to-day by an Irish baker rather than positioned as a heritage French bakery.

Mixed: reviewers rave about pastry quality, but several flag it as pricey. a $9 fruit danish, a $9 cinnamon scroll called below average for the price, and frustration that prices aren't displayed.
