Absolutely amazing bread, French cheese and pastries in the most unsuspecting location!…read more I would have given this place five stars, but the presentation of the actual cafe / bakery doesn't really match their amazing products. The tables and chairs are a bit daggy and it wouldn't take much at all to make this a really beautiful and attractive space. Also, the coffee is acceptable but not amazing by any stretch. They offer a yummy little spiced shortbread with their coffee (most likely baked in-house). The sandwich / baguette menu is perfect - they make these fresh to order on warm crunchy bread with their house made mayo. I don't know of any other place who does this in Melbourne. Tastes just like what you'd find in France! The sourdough range is exceptional. They also offer their signature GF sourdough also. Well worth the travel for breakfast or lunch. Friendly service. x

This is the kind of bakery with the kind of bread that you drive a few extra miles to find. Apparently it's the closest to San Fransisco style sour dough in Melbourne. I have a friend who drives from the north of the city to get a loaf. Standard bakery fare on offer and it's all really good. Only a couple of minutes off the Nepean Highway so if you are passing through detour, you won't regret it.

From the sweets, to the sausages rolls, to all the great varieties of artisan breads, there's no way to go wrong. However the kranskys in pastry and meat pies are indescribably delicious, particularly the curry and the bacon pies. If I were marooned on a desert island and could only eat one thing for the rest of my days, it would be their meat pies. They have a nice courtyard area, with plenty of shade under trees and umbrellas, which is the best place to sit and enjoy their terrific coffee. Best of all, for me at least, is this place is just a three minute walk from my front door...and I'm getting up and walking there as soon as I post this review.

This cafe is centrally located on the main strip across the road from the Highett train station. The cafe itself is really well designed with a small show kitchen pumping out meals to a rather large minimalistic dining room. It really has a great vibe. The first thing that I was impressed with was the staff. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly, and escorted to my table, offered water and a coffee to start with. This in itself seems to be a lost art in today's restaurant scene. I ordered a jasmine pearl tea to start, which, when arrived was presented on a wooden board, with a cup, an iron teapot and a box with three sandglass minute timers. The first one set at one minute, the second at three mins and the third at five minutes. Each timer representing the strength of the tea. A pretty cool concept. The menu looked awesome, but all I really wanted was poached eggs, bacon and mushrooms. So that's what I ordered. Now it's generally at this stage when I ask the waiter if I could have my bacon crispy, but in all honestly I forgot, so I was a bit concerned. My breakfast arrived in a reasonable timeframe, and my first impression was, that it looked pretty good. It wasn't good, not at all, it was awesome. Let's start with the eggs. Perfectly poached, soft and gooey yolks, and perfectly poached whites. As much as the eggs impressed me it was the bacon that wowed me. Crispy but still juicy and full of flavour, just the way I like it. I have to say this was one of the best bacon and eggs I've ever had. The food that was coming out of that kitchen was amazing. So if you find yourself down Highett way check out The Diplomat, it truly was amazing.
