Almost French Pâtisserie reviews
34 The most Beautiful tasty Danish pastries and what about the Croissants Incredible.
And so is the Coffee.
I'll be back
This almond croissant is amazing! Would have been better if they had warm it up but still pretty good.
Unfortunately, the croissants and cinnamon rolls were heavy and dry. I’m not convinced that they were made on the day. Just not well made.
Didn’t feel Almost French, just Barely French.
Almost French Patisserie delivered a birthday cake to a friend today at late notice. Service was excellent and staff went out of their way to accommodate my request. The cake was exquisite. Thank you so much
I've ordered a few things from Almost French over the years and it's all been great. My recent favourites are the lobster roll, Cornish pasty, almond croissant, and the almond-pear tart, and if you're looking to buy a largeish cake on Swan St (and are willing to spend a little extra than in the neighbouring Coles), look no further! It is, indeed, almost French.
We visited after a slow start to the morning and a craving for some baked goods. The window display caught our attention immediately with the delicious offerings. We got coffees, a cruffin (croissant x muffin), and a fruit tart. My wife got a takeaway cinnamon scroll which she says was very tasty.
The "manual jukebox" sign gave me a good chuckle (the sign suggested speaking with one of the team, who could play a song on request), and was a nice reminder to engage in conversation!
Coffee and milk were a little burnt but otherwise it was a pleasant morning stop.
Almost French Patisserie deleivered a total of 200+ chocolate eclairs for our school event. The students loved them, and many were requesting seconds.
Thank you
Nice place on a cold Sunday afternoon, but was hit and miss with the coffee. Ordered 2 latte, 1 was perfect the other was at best luke warm.
Service was lovely, but coffee was unfortunately burnt and undrinkable. Brekkie muffin was average at best.
Great cakes and smooth coffee.
Super friendly staff.
Look forward to coming back again
Those flourless cheecakes are amazing. The orange cake is divine as well. Coffee is great. I strongly recommend it
I was shocked to see this place sell egg based custard and milk based desserts in little or no refrigeration on a 37 degree day!
At 2pm I ordered 2 desserts with a friend. Both desserts (cream, milk and egg based) came out not firm, I knew something wasn't right. As I cut into it the dessert was curdeled and warm and then I realised that these had been sitting with little or no refrigeration. I took them back and the staff member got a new lot from the kitchen refrigerator. When leaving we saw the Danish pastries on a shelf facing the window in a tray that has custard inside them in no refrigeration format again it's a 37 degree day!
Someone is going to get severe food poisoning if the place doesn't practice food hygiene practices especially in food handling and storage.
As a Food Technologist, I wouldn't be recommending eating here until they lift there game.
There is no excuse for not abiding with Victorian Food Standards.
To the owner - Fix your air conditioning unit for keeping the cafe cool and your staff can work in a more comfortable environment.
Lovely little place. The pastries are so good and very decently priced. The people that work there are very kind. Cinamom roll and the danish pastries are my fave
Definitely not almost French, 100% French by my standards, and I am French. Today I bought all their coffee eclairs, and oh boy! What a delight! I haven’t had a so good one in years, and definitely not outside of France. 10/10 ️
Etant Francais de passage durant un mois, j'ai donc testé cette endroit. Croyez moi, ça fait du bien de trouver du pain, croissant et gâteaux. Le croissant excellent, le sandwich moyen le pain n'étant pas croustillant et doré comme il se doit. Par ailleurs, le choix en pain est dérisoire. Dommage.
We were in search of almond croissants in Melbourne nearby to MCG. Found this place. The almond croissants here were excellent. Almond filled, not just almonds sprinkled on top. Coffee was good also. We were so pleased with the croissants that we tried some other patisseries. Also excellent. The place has a laid back feel, relaxed and friendly. Could easily become a favourite place.
Great little find. We had a relaxed afternoon tea break with croissants and iced lattes. Coffee was strong and croissants tasty. Delightful.
Pleasant young staff.reasonable prices.but. Forgot cake order to bring to table. We sat for more than an hour.should have cleaned up used plates, and asked if anything else required.
The food was priced well and really delicious. We had three different items for.breakfast and each person truly enjoyed their meal. The staff were friendly and attentive.
I hope you take this as constructive criticism, because I can appreciate you’re clearly understaffed. But burning my croissant until it’s black and then putting it in a takeaway container hoping I wouldn’t check is very poor service. Also, not a great look letting an older white male cut in line in front of 5 women clearly waiting. Not impressed.
