Artisan bakery known for world-class croissants and unique pastries.
"According to a prominent New York newspaper, the Lune croissant “may be the finest you will find anywhere in the world.” But Melburnians have long known that, which is why we’ve been lining up for the perennially popular pastry shop’s creme brûlée cruffins, Vegemite-bechamel escargot, and pain au s’mores for years. In a past life the owner was a Formula 1 aerodynamicist, and her eye for precision means a croissant that’s impossibly crackly outside with an infinite number of airy, buttery layers within. The flagship is a futuristic concrete space in Fitzroy where lines regularly trail up the street, and the newer city outpost is just as in demand. Order ahead to guarantee success." - Ellen Fraser
"Started in 2012 by a former Formula 1 engineer, this croissanterie is renowned globally for near-flawless laminated pastries; its founder’s engineering-driven R&D produced croissants widely considered among the best in the world and an array of precise creations from cruffins and morning buns to savory items like an everything croissant with confit garlic, a carbonara-style Danish with bacon bechamel and egg yolk, and a pain Suisse–inspired roll filled with gochujang ground beef and kimchi." - Melanie Hansche
"According to The New York Times, the Lune croissant “may be the finest you will find anywhere in the world.” But Melburnians already knew that, which is why we’ve been lining up for the perennially popular pastry shop’s peanut-pretzel pain au chocolat, coconut pandan croissants, and creme brûlée cruffins for years. The flagship is a futuristic bunker-like space in Fitzroy, and there are outposts in the city and Armadale. Book ahead if you want a spot at Lune Lab, an eight-stool bar at the Fitzroy location doing experimental three-course pastry meals and bottomless coffee." - ellen fraser
"Want to feel like a local? Join the early morning line for the best croissants outside of Paris. Siblings Kate and Cam Reid take three days to make their dreamy layers of pastry and butter. For an insider’s perspective, try booking a stool at the experiential Lune Lab, where you get a bird’s eye view of the action and a three-course pastry flight. There are two more locations in the CBD and Armadale, but the futuristic-looking flagship store in Fitzroy is the best." - Audrey Bourget
"The origin point of the cruffin phenomenon and a destination bakery in Fitzroy (with a CBD branch) famed for impeccable croissants and hybrid pastries that draw long lines and rotating flavors like yuzu and Black Forest." - Fred Siggins
