If you are in Melbourne/Australia, you should definitely give Laurent a try!!…read moreThis is one of the best, and one of my favorites Bakery/Cafe I have been to. I tried their Hot Chocolate & dessert cake, called "Monte Carlo". It's a Chocolate mousse with cafe creme & chocolate biscuit covered with milk chocolate glaze. The glaze outside was shinny, smooth, and light, which is perfect for me. Texture, creamy, but not too sweet. Dessert was great, and Hot Chocolate too. Located in the city, 5 to 7 minutes away from Flinders Street railway station by train (Melbourne, Victoria). A cute, nice, fancy French bakery/cafe in the city, nothing can be better than spend a free day with your friends/love/family at Laurent. Services and staffs are great! I didn't have to wait for long, they take good order, and give you great recommendations, and ask for your opinions after. Customers will always feel welcomed, and happy when the staffs are always smiling. Overall, great place + dessert! Try it out, if you have a chance, definitely worth it. Love and miss this place.

During our two week stay in Melbourne we've seen a couple of these little French bakeries, one on…read moreToorak Rd and then this one on Little Collins in the CBD. Finally succumbed this afternoon. Pleasant surprise - they serve a pretty large latte in a bowl (like those I recall from trips to Paris) rather than the thimbles served all over the city! I also tore up a delicious lemon tart. Woohoo - good times!

The Egg tarts are just OK for me. If you have ever had the Golden Gate Bakery egg tarts in San Francisco, these will seem pretty average in comparison. The staff are friendly though a couple of them are a little clueless about packing cakes for transport.

Yep, their Swiss rolls are the bomb. These cakes have that unique asian sweetness to it that you…read morejust can't get enough. You can either grab a tray and pick your sweets and savories a la bread top and pay at the counter. As I said above there Swiss rolls are good, my picks are taro or pandan. Whole rolls are $11.

However, while they did do a decent coffee (yeah, I know, coffee, but it was one time), and the place did have a rather nice French feel about it - in fact it was more a pattissierie as opposed to a cafe - it was still pretty expensive - probably due to the fact that it was the only place open.

Tried a ham cheese tomato croissant here and enjoyed it.

That sounded like quite a qualified reference, so I decided to indulge. Like Kate, I was sucked in by the macaroons. They look incredible and they taste even better than they look. As for the eclairs, they were also amazing. If you suffer from a sweet tooth, I'd stay well away from Cavallino. You might just start spending the whole of your pocket money here when you should be saving those pennies. It's a good job I don't live around the corner! Go in and everything you see in front of you is just TEMPTATION!

I bought some rolls which were quite nice. You know, those really soft ones with melted cheese on top. They went down well for lunch. Nothing else bought even though the pies and cakes looked ok. The lady serving was very nice and upbeat. A nice person. No photos though because it was one of those times when it just didn't seem right to take them. Many of you will know what o mean. But, I've been to Trawool and I reckon not many people can say that.

With strawberries and almonds, it's definitely suitable for all of the sweet-tooth's out there! Custard Donut These donuts are incredible! The donuts themselves, covered in sugar, are soft and sweet. The filling (available in custard, caramel and Nutella), is creamy and delicious. They're perfect for an afternoon tea treat.

It was already full by this stage and had a constant stream of locals grabbing donuts for the morning. We ordered a ham and cheese croissant, egg and bacon bun and a coffee. The coffee was fantastic. Could not fault. The bun and croissant were delicious, the scramble in the bun was especially good. We sat was a little watching the steady stream come and go before grabbing some take away baked goods. We got all 3 donuts flavours with the favourite being hot cross bun donut. Donut dough with sultanas and filled with custard. Amazing! We also grabbed a choc chip marshmallow cookie. The size of my hand and absolutely delicious. I could live off these! Moderate room inside to sit and a few tables out. All the food is able to be taken away and it also runs as a standard bakery with beautiful artisan breads. We will definitely be back soon and it's now our go to place to pick up treats when visitors come over.
