Chéri

Nice chilli kick to the pasta which was probably more al dente than I would normally like, but the combination of ingredients was tasty. Salad was simple but done well. Shouldn’t get Caesar wrong but unfortunately many places do, I liked it here. Mushroom pizza had plenty of mushroom but couldn’t really taste the truffle, still nice. The pepperoni was yummy with the hot honey and the stracciatella. The dough was pillowy soft, so I even ate the crust! I don’t normally eat crust but I really appreciated it was both chewy and soft. An overall yummy experience with the food. The desserts? I could pass. Strawberry matcha was too sweet and a waste of money. Coffee was acceptable. The service was quite scrambled and rushed and hard to get service at times as the cafe was really busy so I kinda expected that. For example, got our dishes but no utensils or extra plates so had to go back and forth a few times. Ignore that lack of attentiveness and just eat.

I wanted to try some desserts and they turned out amazing! The desserts are super cute, and I even bought some takeaway for my friend to try. Everything was delicious and beautifully decorated. The space is big, perfect for meeting up with friends. Definitely a must-try!!

Only tried the pastries so far, they are not cheap, but they are tasty. Seating is not cramped, and the place feels more casual. 5*, been here twice and will be back. I’ve tried - the chocolate brownie croissant, fruit danish, ham & cheese croissant, truffle mushroom croissant and croissant cube.

Beautiful French-style desserts and pastries, baked fresh daily 🥐🍰 Everything is so delicate and delicious – from the Cheri Supreme Pizza to the Yuzu Cheesecake and Cruffin. Perfect spot right next to South Melbourne Market. Highly recommended!

After trying their version of lemon meringue, pandan croissant and almond croissant a couple months back via a special promotion, I decided to come back to try out their cakes for Father's Day and got their father's day gateau and lemon tart. Absolutely top notch in flavors and presentation. So glad I found another quality and reliable boutique bakery on this side of town, highly recommended! The place is actually quite big, and they have a large seating area in the back too. Price guide (as of Sep 2025): Medium sized Father's Day Gateau $65 Medium sized lemon tart $35 Single serve cakes mostly <$20 Mocha $6.50

Breakfast @cherieatery 👄 👄 Chérie opened for ages but I didn’t realise that they not only do cakes and icecream, they do savoury breakfasts as well! I had their matcha latte and it was delicious and smooth. Their chicken cotoletta was fresh , crispy and delicious! My only gripe is that the music was a bit loud for an early morning breakfast and everyone was shouting over each other just to be heard.

I tried the mandarin and jasmine small cake, along with the Eye Candy cake — both were a true delight. The mandarin and jasmine offered a delicate, fragrant sweetness that lingered beautifully, while the Eye Candy was a vibrant burst of flavor and texture. Each bite felt thoughtfully crafted, almost like dessert poetry. A must-try for anyone who appreciates unique and artful sweets. The pandan coconut croissant, while pleasant, lacked the same magic. Its flavors were gentle, perhaps too restrained — not disappointing, but not quite reaching the heights of the other offerings. A beautiful spot for adventurous desserts, with moments of brilliance and charm.

Just a short walk from the South Melbourne Markets, Cherie Café is found at 285-287 Coventry St. This vibrant patisserie is a dessert aficionado's dream. On a sun-kissed winter Sunday, our group of six embarked on a sweet degustation that definitely required tracksuit pants, as our eyes certainly outstripped our stomach capacities. The café buzzes with energy, filled with laughter and an abundance of tourists. The décor is a kaleidoscope of orange and red, perfectly complementing the eye-catching cake display. This place breaths indulgence. I personally savored six cakes, each one better than the last. In fact, I can’t choose a favorite; they all rock! Cherie is or wil become an icon stop not to be missed, especially if you dare to embrace the risk of extreme overindulgence. A solid 10/10
