Lune Croissanterie Melbourne CBD

A very popular dessert shop, I love the croissants here

#Melbourne# The world's best croissant🥐Lune, Tanya Chua has come here to check in. Guide: Lune was rated as the world's best croissant by the New York Times. It is recommended that those who come here to buy it at the Fitzory main store. Original croissant (Picture 2⃣️) and almond croissant (Picture 3⃣️) are recommended. Friends who can accept sweetness can also choose hazelnut mocha croissant (Picture 4⃣️) To be honest, the first time I knew about this store was when I saw the photos posted by Tanya Chua on Weibo. During the tour concert in Australia, Tanya seized this little time and made a special trip to Fitzroy to check in this popular store. And Lune's celebrity fans are not just Tanya. New Zealand's Grammy Award winner Lorde is a loyal fan of Lune, and she even invited Lune's boss to watch her concert. Lune's founder Kate Reid was originally an aerodynamicist who designed F1 cars for the top Formula One racing team Williams. Under the high-intensity work pressure of 16-18 hours a day, Reid suffered from anorexia, which continued to worsen. She had to return to Australia with the help of her father. After returning, Reid did not get better. Instead, her health became worse and worse. She had to see at least four doctors every week, from psychologists to general practitioners, to psychiatrists and nutritionists. Because Reid had a strong interest in croissants when she went to France for a conference, she decided to find a bakery job as soon as she returned to Australia. She first worked at Philippa’s in Armadale, and then went to another local cafe to make cakes and pastries. By chance, Reid saw a photo of chocolate in a book about French cakes that made her excited. Without hesitation, she immediately bought a ticket to Paris. Her courage and passion impressed Christophe Vasseur, a baker who runs Du Pain etdes Idees in the 10th district of Paris, and she became an apprentice here. You can taste the story after that. This shop only focuses on making croissants. Of course, you can order a cup of coffee while waiting in line at the main store. Picture 2⃣️ Croissant Original Croissant $5.9 Recommended! Traditional French croissants, without any fancy decorations. From kneading the dough, to making puff pastry, to cutting and baking, the whole process takes 3 days. The original croissant brings the purest taste, and because no other sweet fillings are added, it will not be so sweet. If you have a light taste or want to try more flavors, you must start with the original croissant! Picture 3⃣️ Almond Croissant Almond Croissant $9.2 Recommended! The appearance alone is enough to bluff, like the back of a stegosaurus, densely packed with almond slices. The density of the almond slices has passed the health index test, so there is no need to worry about indigestion after eating. In order to increase the almond flavor, almond butter is wrapped in the middle, making the whole croissant fragrant. This upgraded version of croissant is also a best-seller in the store, and it is highly recommended to try it! Picture 4⃣️ Hazelnut Mocha $11.5 Sweetness warning, although the roasted hazelnuts on this croissant are fragrant, the filling inside is really sweet. This croissant is baked twice. The first time it is baked into a regular croissant, then cut horizontally, filled with chocolate cream sauce, espresso syrup, and coffee caramel. Picture 5⃣️ is a filling that combines chocolate, coffee and various sweeteners. When you take a bite, it presents a dense cocoa sauce like lava, which is so sweet that it is choking. It is best to pair it with long black coffee. The top layer is covered with crushed hazelnuts, exuding a unique aroma. It is difficult to resist these lovely nuts, especially when you see them for the first time. Friends with a strong taste are recommended to try it, and it is recommended to pair it with espresso. Figure 6⃣️ The upper left is a limited edition cherry blossom croissant Just like hot cross buns always appear at Easter, Lune will also launch limited-edition croissants in different seasons and festivals, most of which will use some seasonal ingredients. If you come across a limited edition croissant and it is not your first visit, you can recommend buying one to try. Generally speaking, limited editions are often not as delicious as several classic ones, and it is not worth the risk for friends who visit for the first time. Purchase suggestions: Although Lune has also opened branches in the city, friends who have time are still recommended to go to Fiztroy to queue up to buy croissants from the main store. Perhaps because of the baking environment, the croissants baked in the CBD store are still a little worse than those in the main store. In addition, because a single croissant is large, it is recommended that 2 people share 2 to 3 croissants. Of course, you can also buy more to bring back for family and friends to taste, but the most fragrant bread is always freshly baked, so it is recommended to eat it while it is hot.

The service was quick, and the food was very delicious.

We visited Lune Croissanterie first thing in the morning. It's worth lining up before they even open! Their freshly baked croissants are crisp on the outside and fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, with a wonderful buttery aroma and sweetness. Every bite will have you sighing with delight. The plain croissant has a mild flavor, but the almond croissant really impressed us. The rich almond cream and fragrant toppings were superb, and it remained moist and delicious even the next day. From inside the shop, you can see the artisans at work through the glass windows, creating a truly lively atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and explained the ingredients and baking methods, and the seasonal pastries were also enticing. On weekends, there's a 30-45 minute wait, but that's all part of the "special morning experience." Eating it while it's still hot is a must! If you have time in Melbourne, be sure to visit first thing in the morning and enjoy "the best bite in the world."

I went there around 1:30pm and was able to buy it after waiting about 5 minutes. Card payment only.
