The most wonderful hot chocolate in the eastern suburbs, with the traditional German vibe adding a lot to the atmosphere.

Lunch was delightful with attentive staff. The baguette bread was light and very enjoyable, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They have an amazing array of cakes which look stunning.

Approximate cost: $10

The cakes are art, but unlike some other patisseries they live up to their promise- they taste at least as good as they look.
The french sticks are the best I have ever had, and I like my bread.

Beautiful pastry shop with great sweets, coffee, bread, pies and quiches. The food is always fresh and tasty. Its a great place to stop in for a quick snack or coffee (provided you can get a table!). My favorite would have to be the hot jam donuts which are only made on Saturdays and usually sell out by midday.

Approximate cost: $15

A really nice corner patisserie, always bustling. Beautiful cakes and macaroons. Best scones I've tasted (and scones aren't particularly my thing!). On the expensive side, and can be slow on the weekends.

a gorgeous shop, with such a wide variety of products. I can't say I have a favorite because i try something different every time I go. The bread is just beautiful and they also offer a range of gluten free products which a lovely. Most recently I had a fruit tart and it was gorgeous, the pastry was crumbly and short, the creme patisserie was sweet and smooth and the berries on top were just beautiful - would definitely have that again!!

Approximate cost: $3-10

To say that I have fallen in love with this place would be an understatement. Yes you do pay a little bit more than your average bakery/cafe, but this isn't your average local bakery.
Coffee is great, the sweets are to die for, and my partner went ape for their pies. The pastry chefs whipped out some funky cupcakes for Halloween that in retrospect I really wish I had bought.
Special mention for their chocolate croissant that keeps me coming back for more when I know I really shouldn't.

Zmit (Austrian for cinnamon) is Melbourne's ultimate pattiserie. Michael was traditionally trained by his father who owned Fleischers in Malvern. Their product is absolutely superb, although expensive. And the service is also excellent.
They have just won the 2009 City of Whitehorse Christmas shop window display and their front windows are always special.
By far and away the best pattiserie in Victoria - just ask Vogue magazine where they feature from time to time

perfection with a sugar coating. Everything is made to absolute perfection, beautifully presented although may seem expensive is worth every cent. I fyou are looking for a statement piece look no further. The only better than how it looks is how it tastes. delectable!

I've walked past Zimt a few times on my way to the station, but never went in before a couple of weeks ago. The presentation of the place certainly catches your eye. That said, that you do get the odd place that ends up being all style and no substance (The CBD is full of them), Zimt however turned out to be a real class act. Savoury and sweet frontiers were both great. Only issue being that the gingerbread was a little pricey. Props go out to the staff who were happy and keen to walk me through the inner workings of the food on display and let you know their favorites. I always like it patisseries and bakeries when you can look into the kitchen and see the chefs at work; Zimt's kitchen is right behind the dining area. Nicer still was the fact that every now and again I heard the Chefs bursting out with laughter, somehow the knowledge that the people making your food are enjoying themselves makes a place that much more inviting. It's like those cheesy bakers delight ads that you watch on television, except the real deal. I've noticed the place does get busy occasionally, it wasn't the day that I went, mind you, that's probably a good indication. Summing up: great place!

Approximate cost: $Around six dollars
