Worth the visit - most definitely, just be prepared to wait in line as this place gets extremely busy.

**edit in response to the owner**
Thank you kindly for taking the time to respond to my review. My coffee was so burnt and so hot that the milk curdled. I had one sip and chucked it out. My partner who ordered a short macchiato also experienced the same issue (albeit his coffee wasn’t too hot just extremely burnt).

It was extremely busy at the coffee machine so I suspect the barista at the time wanted to reduce the number of coffee dockets they had. I have experienced this before when places get really busy, so perhaps training or extra support for a barista during extremely busy periods is worth it.

Just to reiterate, everything else was delicious!

Philly cheese steak sandwich was great.

Tiramisu croissant had a very strong coffee taste, if that's your thing.

Really friendly staff. Everything tastes as good as it looks. Love the Basque cheesecake, very creamy. Chocolate croissants so good, I often buy 2 on way to work.and eat both

Fantastic selection of cakes, pies, coffee and pastries here. Busy on Saturday morning. More of a takeaway place.

What a cool bakery. I wanted to eat everything in there! Got the phily cheese steak sandwich. Was awesome and vanilla slice doughnut for later. Will definitely be back!

This is by far my favourite bakery. I drivers than half hour for their delicious New York cheese cake

Absolutely delicious! The staff were so nice and was able to accomodate my pre order with a small time frame. The fairy bread cake was so nice, sweet and light, the white chocolate drip was the highlight. Been here for pastries and coffee as well, haven’t been disappointed.

Everything here is amazing. They have a great range of sweets and savoury, not to mention their sourdough bread. My favourites are olive loaf, cheese steak pilly, Vanilla slice donut, marittozi and cream croissant. The best bakey in the West.

I just stood in line for 15 minutes and watched nearly every person in front of me ask for an almond croissant, to be told they are sold out. This is also what I came here for so now i'm leaving with nothing. This literally happens every time I come here. Every. Single. Time. Meanwhile they have racks full of regular croissants, nutella and forrero croissants that no one wants. Maybe make more of the item that all your customers are coming here for and less of the ones that no one is buying? Or at least put up a bloody sign that says you're sold out so we don't all waste our time standing in line.

This place is the BEST. Great coffee, awesome brekky and lunch food and the friendliest staff you will ever find. You can't go there and not have a scrambled egg and bacon bun!

Almond croissant was delicious. Got my eyes on the Reuben roll next time. Lovely little hidden gem

Everything is fantastic. Special shout outs for:
- tres leches cake
- red velvet cake
- candied pie
- marshmallow chocolate chip cookie

Wow, great. Picked up the Philly Cheese steak and a cinnamon roll.
Both exceptional and fresh tasting.
Ham and cheese crossiont fairly average though.
Good customer service.
Would go back for sure.
Take away only, unfortunately no dine in.

Best croissant in Melbourne and such a good price compared to other 'top croissant' places. Pistachio one also amazing. Wish they had more GF options but I'm being picky!

Update Dec 2021:
The carrot cake AND the triple milk are to die for (especially the triple milk) I cannot recommend them high enough! Tried the Philly Cheese steak for the first time too and the ingredients were amazing (especially the bread and the steak) but needed a bit more seasoning.

Really good bread and baked goods! Make sure you try the meat pies and the sausage rolls but the sweet pastry is as good the sour stuff. They also do some funky organic items and dairy goods and the menu and prices are attached to this review so have a look.

This place is God tier bakery. Everything from the coffee, bread, food and treats are made with so much care. The service is always friendly even on the busiest of days.

Curried lentil pumpkin halloumi pastie is amazing. They make the puff pastry I’ve ever had! Coffee is always great. Pistachio cream croissant is delicious too. Can’t wait to try it all!

Great sweet treats, little on the pricey side but worth it.
Their olive ring (savoury) is amazing and often overlooked!

Wow wow wow. Best cake slices. Bought a cake for my birthday. One day pre-order on phone. Picked up on the bday. Excellent cake I ever had

Amazing pies and sausage rolls and also credit should goes to staff being kind and nice to customers. Would definitely comeback
