This madeleine cake shop is truly exceptional! The cakes have a great taste—perfectly soft, buttery, and delicately sweet.

Plus, the customer service is warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to every visit. Highly recommended!

My very first time visiting and bang! I could say this is the best place ever for Madeleine fans! My favourite would be mugwort, corn, orange & cherry. Overall, they all contain unique flavours and are made of various combined elements that make them stand out from each other. Of course, other flavours are worth a try too as this place will have a tantalising selection that never lets you down. Very recommended

So yummy! Not exactly cheep, but they are a fun little treat or gift. Yuzu is always my favourite - also the earl grey. The specials are always really fun, much richer than the originals. Fun branding & shop - staff are always really nice. Sometimes have a gluten free option, but not always.

not so quietly, I really want to like their madeleines and what they're trying to do... but... for the price they're asking, and what I got that day... I simply cannot justify it. It's not quite worth the value they perceived their products are worth. They look absolutely beautiful ! vibrant colours and creative. The flavours were subtle and lovely... but... 5 out of the 7 Madeleines we got were dry and the size relatively on the small side... and for the price that they're charging for them (7 relatively basic flavours for nearly $50) ? I expected more for it. When you want your product to be in the category of luxury treats, I expect it to be near perfect and consistent all way through. It has to be worth every single dollars that I chose to spent it in your shop, rather than the 2 full meals that I could get out of it somewhere else. Again, It's just my opinion and how I perceived values. This time, it's a miss. Perhaps I'll try again somewhere down the line, but there are plenty of others around to try first.

I can’t get enough of this dessert shop! Everything is freshly made and bursting with flavor. The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming. A must-visit!

Madeleine de Proust is a patisserie located on Lygon St, Carlton. The name “Madeleine de Proust” is clever, a French expression used to describe smells, tastes, sounds reminding you of your childhood or bringing back emotional memories, but also their main product and star of the show, the Madeleine, a shell shaped sponge cake. 🇫🇷 Co-founders Hyoju Park (ex head pastry chef Attica, The Langham) and Rong Yao Soh (Matilda159, Sunda) use traditional French patisserie techniques with a distinct Australian twist and an additional layer of Asian fusion in their creations. It took around 400 test batches to perfect their signature recipe! They have three different categories: the more basic and unfilled, the filled creations, and finally the more boujee selection - which features fillings and a chocolate outer to form the unique shapes like popcorn or pistachio. The latter change seasonally or when they run collaborations, like their current partnership with @beautymusicalau. 🥀 ✔️ Fresh Baked Madeleine - served hot! ✔️ Pistachio - yum! The pistachio got a bit lost due to the jam overpowering it. Kinda tasted like a wagon wheel. The design is unreal - a work of art! ➖ Earl Grey Dulce ✔️ Brown Butter & Leatherwood ✔️ Raffaello - indulgent! ✔️ Strawberry To drink, their hot chocolate isn’t very sweet, but it is their own blend they make in-house. They don’t have chai latte, just black chai (tea). Staff are incredibly friendly, and will happily talk you through the entire menu - along with recommendations. I think is as good as madeleines will ever get! Perfectly crispy on the outer, with a fluffy interior. I personally can’t go past their hot freshly baked madeleines, which you can only get on weekends for $4 a pop! Any will stay good for 3 days. They pack them so cute too, so they could make a great gift!

The madeleines are a bit too sweet and slightly on the expensive side. However, the presentation is lovely, and the shop is beautiful.
