Tivoli Road Bakery

South Yarra side-street patisserie known for almond croissants and proper sourdough bread.

A compact French-style patisserie-cafe down a South Yarra side street, with counter seating and a warm-aroma, artisan-bakery feel rather than a full sit-down cafe.

House-made sourdough underpins the sandwich range, French-trained pastry technique (croissants, crème brulee pastry, pistachio scroll), and pies/sausage rolls only come out of the oven after 9:30am.

Multiple reviewers who've spent time in France call this the best French pastry they've had outside it, pointing to the croissants and technique as the real benchmark.

Opinion is split. most reviewers call the pricing fair for artisan quality, while others find it a little expensive and note prices aren't always clearly signed.
