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.

The bread is good, too. I like to grab a white high tin loaf when I get sick of that horrid but convenient supermarket bread that's just too full of preservative to still taste good. These guys do some pretty cool stuff with gingerbread too. I haven't yet been let down by anything I've bought here, and I'm pretty damn fussy when it comes to bread. The service is always pretty good, with nice and friendly staff.

We got the plain pies to give it a fair, comparable test, and I must say, they really are very very good! The flavour of the filling is really good, very nice short crust base, and a suitably flaky top. In fact, the short rust base would have to be one of the best. I do think, though, to be fair, it is slightly pipped by the Kirra Bakery's pie, which as a slightly better, flakier top. But it is certainly the best pie in Melbourne, and one of the best in Australia :-)
