Where to Find the Best Croissants in Melbourne
1. Lune Croissanterie
If you know your croissants, you'll know Lune Croissanterie.
Lune Croissanterie take their croissant-making seriously. Like, work-of-art level, seriously! They consider themselves to be a celebration of the creation, complexity and ultimate enjoyment of a croissant—and they offer utterly mouth-watering selections of both sweet and savoury goods.
Our pick? If you can get your hands on a Coconut Rough Croissant, you won't be disappointed. It's a twice-baked pain au chocolat jammed full of cocoa and coconut frangipane, and topped with flaked coconut and dark chocolate. Drool!
