A bit exxy but cakes and pastries are delicious. I particularly love the large assortment of macarons. Super yummy

Delicious individual small cakes & large cakes for special occasions. All perfectly decorated with the most interesting features which taste out of this world!

What a great place to have breakfast on a Saturday morning! I was working in South Yarra early one morning thinking that I'd be looking at a 7-Eleven for breakfast when I stumbled across Zumbo's patissier in South Yarra. I new they do sweets but didn't know they rang of tasty savoury dishes they have as well. I had a Pork, Early Grey and lemon sausage roll and am happy to report that it was delicious, from the buttery, flaky pastry to the interesting mix of flavours.

I also new that I would be unable to go home without a sweet treat for the better half and the biggest problem I had here was what to get :).

The prices were a little higher than I'm used to and the coffee wasn't anything special but I'll be back when I can.

Approximate cost: $20

I was slightly disappointed with Zumbo's South Yarra store, especially after the hype that has surrounded it. It took me a while to get here (there are so many good patisseries in the area), and when I did I was expecting spectacular things, different from everyone else. Whilst his designs and shop are funky and have a great atmosphere, the desserts themselves were nothing amazing. The macaroons were interesting flavours, but weren't as crispy on the outisde/ soft on the inside as you'd hope for, and desserts you expect to see (such as his Zonuts which feature in his book) were not there at all. I may have just caught them at a bad time (end of what was undoubtedly a busy weekend), but it was still a let down. I would still go back- I won't hold this against them!

just because I didn't go to the shop and buy it myself doesn't mean i didn't melt in delight nor stop dreaming of their sweet delights ever since. oh my those macrons...but them ooohhhh myyyy the lemon meringue tart....
