To Be Frank Bakery

Collingwood open-kitchen bakery drawing queues for croissants that rival Melbourne's best.

Open-format warehouse bakery with an exposed kitchen. watch the bakers laminate pastry while you queue, with a handful of outdoor bench seats and limited indoor space.

Fully exposed baking floor with a five-layer deck oven visible from the queue; savoury laminated pastries alongside the classic sweet lineup; vegan range available.

Traditional slow-fermented French boulangerie technique. reviewers specifically praise the lamination and proofing as proper, high-quality baking rather than a shortcut version.

Premium pricing (roughly $7-8.50 for pastries, around $7 for coffee) that most reviewers accept for the quality, though sandwiches and coffee consistency draw occasional value complaints.
