This little bakery cafe is just around the corner from my brother's house, and I frequently find…read moremyself popping in here with my brother's little girl (my 4 year old niece) for hot beverages. For me it's always a soy flat white. They make an ok one here. When in my own neighbourhood of Brunswick East, I like to get my flat white from Padre so that's some tough competition. My niece is fond of hot chocolates and she always seems pretty pleased with herself when she's drinking one from Clancy's. She has also manipulated me with all her cuteness and sweet talk to buy her many a smiley faced mini meringue, which make her go a little crazy but I can't help but give in. She picks off the smarties that make up the eyes then eats the rest in the most messy way she can. Let this be a warning to people coming in here with kids - there is a very attractive display cabinet full of sweet things that look irresistible to children, do not let them see it. The Clancy's ladies are very accommodating and lovely and will always have a friendly little chat with my niece, which makes me like them even more.

This is undoubtedly the best Chilean bakery in Melbourne. We travel 12 km to get there and always…read moreoverspend because everything is so good. Empanadas, Chilenitos, Maraquetas, Torta de Mil Hojas, Tortas de Pina, Pan Amasado, and many sorts of fresh creamy cakes. They do seafood empanadas at Easter. We have bought their multi-layered creamy birthday cake over a number of years and for $35 to $40 you can get a cake big enough for 20 people. Marciano now has another store in Maidstone so those in the west and north can now also enjoy the best that Chile offers. You can also get the classic Chilean lemonades "Pap", "Bilz" and "Kem".

I called long distance from the US and made a very difficult request of having a cake delivered to…read morea family member in Boronia who really needed cheering up. Marciano's does not deliver, but the gentleman who answered was very courteous and helpful in helping me find a way to make this happen. He ended up suggesting we get a cab to deliver it and arranged everything for me while I waited on the phone. Later that day the cake arrived. I later received a very emotional email thanking me for the gesture which would not have been possible without the kind help of the folks at Marciano's. I was also told the cake was amazing.

Yes, it's in Blackburn, an Eastern suburb of Melbourne. But for a surprisingly traditional taste of…read moreFrance, go no further than the French patisserie in Blackburn, Bonjour de France. I've been to France on the odd occasion, and I must say that every time I was in a Parisian bakery I'd think to myself "Wow, this feels a lot like Blackburn." That's not entirely true, but Blackburn and France are joined with a wonderful bakery serving the most delicious french pastries and more. Wit both owners as pastry chefs, you wont find a better place in a good ten kilometres of here. The only problem I've had every time I go it "What to have?" which often leads to "What to have first?" Vanilla slice with delicious flaky pastry. Tarts. Meringues. Eclairs. Cheesecakes. Truffles. The list goes on. For those after a more savoury selection, there is also pasties, quiches and pies. All bits are made fresh daily on the premises, so the best time to come is mid morning for the best selection available. Come any later and you may miss out. The coffee is a wonderful strong addition to the sugary sweetness of the pastries, and all the energy will keep you going until your next meal.

Always fantastic food here…read more You wouldn't expect this sort of quality in an outer eastern suburb shop yet this shop never fails to deliver. From their assortment of Pies and Quiches to the mouth watering pastries. I always buy the Vanilla Slice and recommend it to anyone interested.

No matter if your are looking for Bretzeln, Roggenbrot oder Sauerteigbrot - here you will find it but get up early: They sell till the stuff is gone!

Amazing place! Everything is freshly baked and sells out really fast so you have to go there early…read more They have traditional German baked goods, which I learned to love and come back to buy every Monday. I especially love their pretzels and on holidays they also bake stollen, which is my favourite cake. The staff are all very friendly, work efficiently and are always ready to help you out with your choice. I recommend you check this place out as soon as possible.

This is a local gem. The staff here are so friendly. But that's not my favourite thing about this…read morebakery. It's the baked goods of course. So far I've sampled a light rye load, the mini pizza's, jam donut, the apple turnover and their quiche. I wasn't too taken by the quiche but everything else was top notch. I've also heard very positive things about the hot meat pies. Their style is continental and they really do have a traditional honesty goodness. You can taste it. The three little bakers (and Bert) offer sweet baked goods, slices, hot pies and pasties, fresh baked bread plus a fresh sandwich bar. Oh and good coffee. The only small issue at the moment is lack of parking. Hopefully this won't be a problem for too long. Either way it's worth a visit!

Le Croissant exists since the 1960s and has been an institution…read more The food is rich and delicious- no shortcuts, no additives. The recipes are authentically French and are the way they used to be in a French boulangerie-pâtisserie 50 years back. The original owners sold it a few years back and there were some teething problems- staff that didn't smile at customers, almond croissant filling portion too little, lack of French atmosphere. However, in the meantime the old recipes survived (the old owners passed on all their recipes- I miss the friendly bonjour in the back with big smiles) and the next generation of customers can enjoy them and the service has improved. I have been coming on and off to this bakery since the 1990s and I still reckon the almond croissant is the best in town, only served on weekends, made freshly with the cream filling....a special Camberwell tradition. Do yourself a favour...come early on the weekends to not miss out on the almond croissants. Nice to see Orangina drinks for sale, too!

And everytime I drove by, I will pick up their Vanila Slice. Understanding that Melbourne does offers heaps of nice sweet places, therefore, I am sure Le Croissant Patrisserie would be one of it. Can't really comment on the texture and the taste, as I could be bias on the whole experience! I will highly recommend everyone to try this place, and let me know how they think about it. There aren't that many traditional sweet & pastry places left in Melbourne
