If it weren't for the gluten-free, this would probably be a pretty standard bakery. However,…read moreBECAUSE of the gluten-free, the Swiss Bakehouse deserves many repeat visits. What is so marvelous about the gluten-free selection is that it is so casually placed on the shelf. As if you could so easily just slip in there and buy gluten-free by mistake. Of course, proper anti-contamination measures have been taken but that's how it Looks. On top of looking like any old gluten-filled pile of baked goods, the products at the Swiss Bakehouse taste like any old pile of gluten. Which is to say, like, totally rad dude. Pizza rolls! Real "I just sprinkled some bacon and cheese on this roll for you" pizza rolls! If only they weren't so salty, I'd probably be poor, overweight, and very sick of them by now.

I was surprised at the large amount of freshly baked bread and decided to stock up a weeks worth of breads as well as a few muffins for myself and some workmates which was amazing , Other than all the breads anyone could want this guys have all kinds of other treats including cookies in many shapes and sizes pies ( apple pie, berry pie, meat pies an all the other pies), sticky date puddings, soft drinks and coffee which is honestly no that all praise worthy.

This is my morning bakery that I have been coming to for years. Maybe because it's the closest…read morebakery to me, but even if it wasn't I would still buy from here. A non-pretentious little shop that sells fresh bread, pizza rolls, ham cheese rolls, cakes, croissants, sandwiches and other typical bakery items. They are quite busy during the mornings, with workers constantly coming in and out for a takeaway coffee and ham cheese croissant. They sell a few cakes (orange and poppy seed, sticky date, cheesecake, mud etc.), cupcakes, tarts, gingerbread men and meringues etc. They also sell muffins fresh in the mornings that are absolutely delicious! The flavors change every day, but they are all so good. I had a berry one once, and there was swirl of raspberry jam all the way through, it was fantastic. Definitely grab yourself a muffin from here. This bakery also stocks milk and pies.

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.

Every morning for a year I would race into JT's Bakery for a latte and a muffin. That was my well…read morebalanced breakfast, followed up with a coffee and salad roll from JT's for lunch. Okay, I admit it, a custard tart too. I was lucky enough to work across from this little gem. I believe a good coffee is hard to find. And so necessary, especially when working in a call center, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Lucky for me, JT's have great coffee. They have a great range of cakes, slices, breads, etc. I can vouch for the daily freshness of the muffins. Jt's also are able to do birthday cakes to order, and are can also provide platters for catering events.

It's a pretty small shop just outside the supermarket, and the stuff they sell is pretty reasonable. I haven't had a bad coffee there yet. I mean, I am not an armchair barista by any means, but I like a good cappuccino to cope with the boredom of supermarket shopping. The fact that the vanilla slices are alright doesn't hurt, either. Apart from the waistband, but it's worth it. Service wise, they're friendly enough. They can be busy at times, but you don't often have to wait very long to be served. I must admit that I don't buy bread there very often. Occasionally a roll or two, but that's about it. The bread does look okay though.

The biggest difference that I could tell is the butter spread and the pate. Butter is a little more saltier than others and the pate a bit peppery. Besides that the bread is fuller and has that awesome balance of crisp and softness!! Tip: go for the Tiger Roll!!

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".

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.
