The flakiness of the croissant was amazing. It really was the best croissant I've had. The hazelnut following was delicious. Even the regular croissant, their most popular and common one, was delicious. The flakiness and crisp was delicious and the fluff inside was perfect. I was looking for recommendations and saw this was a super popular shop in Melbourne. When I visited there was a line, but it went by very quickly. The person who takes your order completed it from the ordering to the packaging to the payment so it helps make sure you get your item quickly. There is no seating but people stood around counters and enjoyed their croissant. TLDR - long line, but short wait, worth it - delicious amazing croissants
Cute spot in Fitzroy of the famed Lune Croissanterie. The croissants were flaky on the outside and chewy on the inside! When we arrived, they only had the pistachio croissant with rose cream, pain au chocolat, and regular croissant; I asked and was sad to learn that they were out of the almond croissant. Since I'm not a fan of consuming rose-anything, I opted for the regular croissant and the chocolate croissant, along with a black coffee (no tea as another Yelper had mentioned). The pain au chocolat was good, and good to enjoy with the black coffee. As we were finishing our chocolate croissant, I noticed they were putting an additional item on the "visual menu" at the counter. It was the almond croissant! I immediately went up to buy one. While I was very glad we got to try the almond croissant and we enjoyed it, I wished the staff member who took our first order had checked before telling us they were out of the almond croissants. Now we have an extra regular croissant lying around and I don't like to waste food; I suppose there are worse things in life... The almond croissant was good; I especially liked the crunchy almonds on top, adding to the texture of the whole dish.
Kind of difficult to find, but the map is your friend. The inside looks nothing like the outside or surrounding neighborhood. The croissants were fantastic and the coffee was good as well. I was there early on a Monday, just after opening and it was not crowded. They also had a full inventory and the staff were busily working. They are "card payment only," which is fine since I didn't have much cash... but good to know if you're making the trip. The tram will get you out here pretty efficiently from the city ... just be aware that it will be completely full in the mornings on the way back! Croissants are buttery throughout, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I generally just do plain ones, so I don't know how the others are -- they had ham and cheese, chocolate banana, almond when I was here. I did try the lemon curd one and it was fantastic. Worth the trip.
Believe the hype for this croissant bakery, some of the best croissants and kouign-amann I have ever had. The service is super quick, however, the ques can get long, so get here early. Once they are sold out for the day they will close. The ambiance is a small cafe and there is barely any sitting space. However, FED squares and benches on the Yarra River are not too far away.
Great and they know it. There is a queue to get an order in at Lune - we were lucky and only waited 5 minutes midweek. The queue is to the counter we're you order - examples on display - we were recommended the almond croissant and chose some others and coffee. The prices reflect the quality and taste. Coffee order came out with the pastries. Coffee was good - disappointed the cup was on the smaller side. Croissants lived up to the hype - they were light, tasty, subtle and more, the supermarket pastry is a mere pale reflection on what is on offer. That said the prices reflect the quality. Loved the Kouign Amann ( looks similar to a scroll but it is not ). Almond croissant was star. It is 5 stars but the prices take off some of the shine - $6.20 for a plain croissant. Loved it
BEST.CROISSANTS.EVER!!! I have been her countless times. I was lucky enough to live in the neighborhood for a few months, so I was a frequent visitor. I have tried every pastry, croissant, food item Lune has to offer. One word, Amazing. I get giddy when I stand in line! The hardest part about coming here is deciding on which items to get. They have some classics that are served all year long and then some awesome seasonal ones. If you must try one pastry and one pastry only, get the Kouign Amann, I know what you are thinking? How do I pronounce that, and what is it? pronounced [kwi amãn] It is simply known as the fattiest pastry in all of Europe. The name comes from the Breton language words for cake (kouign) and butter (amann). BUTTER. That is the secret or not so secret recipe. It is a traditional pastry from France, laminated with sugar and baked in a buttered, sugared mold until caramelised. Some other must try goodies are the Ham & Gruyere Croissant, Lemon Curd Cruffin, and the Almond Croissant. For the seasonal options you can look at their menu online or on Instagram. Service is great, coffee is great, pastries are out of this world. Go, right now.
Expensive pastries that are very good. I bought the almond and ham and cheese croissant. I prefer the ham and cheese more because I thought the orange zests on the almond was a bit too much for my tasting but they are definitely high quality pastries. I do think it's a bit more on the pricey side but the other issue with some of the Melbourne cafes is that a lot of them only take credit card. So even if you wanted to pay in cash, you HAVE to pay in cash. Regardless I wish the best for Lune Croissanterie. I thought it was a really good croissant place and recommend people to give it a try. There are a lot of people that comes here too so you know it's legit. Hope Lune can survive this pandemic!
To use the Honeymooners' metaphor for spousal abuse, Lune, you had me going, "Bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon!" I had read about Lune's ridiculous wait times, so I was pretty nervous walking up to the building, because: (a) I really, really, reallllllly wanted to try Lune, but (b) had a relatively short window to make it happen. But what a pleasant surprise in that we were in and out in about 15 minutes. And having now experienced Lune for all of its "world's best croissant" glory, made using science by an aerospace engineer or some nonsense (I dunno, I tend to zone out when I start reading food blogs, much like you're doing right now), I have to say that Lune mostly lived up to the hype. We tried three croissants including the traditional, the almond croissant, and one with chocolate, because... I mean, I did travel some 9,000+ miles (14,500-ish km) for this thing, so go big or go back to the other side of the planet I guess... I tell people that I came to Australia to explore Sydney and Melbourne, but Lune was literally the most important thing on my bookmarks. The chocolate filled one was really good. I dunno what else to tell you. The almond croissant was exceptional. It was everything I expected it to be and then some (seeing as how almond croissants are like my basic bish food of choice). But Lune's almond croissant is still second best for me, because the best almond croissant I've had thus far in my short life was this random place I found in Ft. Lauderdale (Florida, USA). But we're talking millimeters in difference (if you can measure flavor in millimeters). The traditional croissant from Lune though was by far the best croissant I've ever eaten. It was everything you would imagine a great croissant to be: Delicious. Flaky. Buttery. Subtle. Pillowy. Delicate. Airy. Light. How many words can I use to say the same thing? One more, just to be extra pretentious: Recherché. These are expensive croissants though. I mean, everything is expensive in Australia (except coffee, which, God bless you Strayans for that), but even accounting for dollar conversions and such, these are pricey croissants. I kinda debated dropping a [*] because the prices are approaching "exorbitant." But they haven't quite reached obnoxiously expensive. Yet. But, shoot for the stars on that, I guess. You'll end up on the moon soon enough, I'm sure...
Lune has one of the best almond croissants I've ever tasted in my life, after Ariscault Bakery in San Francisco. But the atmosphere here is way better. There's plenty of seating, tap and sparkling water options up for grabs, clothing and accessories you can buy home, including an open space format where you can watch the various chefs making the pastries! More on that almond croissant though... so many fluffy flaky layers with a ton of almonds on top. This is unique to Lune as all the other croissants I've had only have a couple almonds sprinkled here and there. I came here again the next day and had every intention of trying other pastries but just couldn't. I do recommend following their Instagram page to keep up to date on different flavors and different pastries they have for all the holidays throughout the year! You can't say you've visited Melbourne without trying this place.

The BEST pastries ever!!!! So light and flaky and decadent. Can watch them making them all day. Many different varieties to choose from. They are are so yummy, hard to pick a favorite. They sell coffee as well but it's the pastries that they are known for!!!! read more
Lune Croissants has gained quite the acclaim, which is why there are long lineups at the store location in the CBD. But this one that's out in Fitzroy has a large interior and doesn't have a lineup extending out the door. The interior of the store is quite beautiful, with a glass enclosure where they roll out and cut sheets of pastry. Behind the glass enclosure is where the assembly happens and they definitely don't want you to take photos there. I ordered the ham and gruyere croissant. It was definitely flakey. I found the ham and gruyere to be an excellent combination. It was flavorful and I enjoyed the creamy gruyere cheese. While the croissant was good, I don't get the hype though. I've had croissants that are just as flakey in other countries. read more

Yup. Worth all of the hype. It is the best croissant I've ever eaten -- and I've traveled the world. The almond croissant has a butter/sugar topper that is addictive! read more

Much hyped croissant spot with excellent croissants, and good coffee. They tend to sell out, so get there early if you want to go to variety of flavors. read more
The best croissants I've ever tried. Even though I door have a sweet tooth I will go there every single day. It's happiness in every single bite. All the croissants are a delicious masterpiece, homemade crafted by artists. read more

Delicious and so worth the trip - highly recommend order one of each type. Can't go wrong! read more
WOW. Just wow. These croissants are absolutely fantastic - I've had croissants in France and I'm not exaggerating when I say these are the same incredible quality! Flaky, buttery, fresh, everything your taste buds dream of! The almond croissant is pricey but worth it - topped with a heap of crunchy almonds and some powdered sugar, and sandwiched inside is an ample amount of a lightly sweet filling. Heaven in your mouth! read more

A gem in the Fitzroy district, Lune offers great pastries with great decor. Their simple display of offerings is enough to entice any skeptic of artisan cuisine. From the basic butter croissant to their delectable Black Forest tart, there is no shortage of colorful choices. If you're in the area, stop by Lune and feast on a kaleidoscope of flavors, it's truly out of this world. read more

Best croissants I've ever had in my life! I always get a heap of them each time I visit because they always sell out fast! The original, ham & gruyere, almond, and Vegemite were my favourites. They usually have a huge line up, and its an industrial style building where you can see inside the kitchen where the bakers work hard on fresh croissants to order. They also serve coffee/tea and mork hot chocolate! So yummy! This is an iconic spot in Melbourne for all of the locals, but it's a must go to spot for coffee & a snack if you're in the city. They have a location in Fitzroy and in the CBD! read more
I picked up a box with variety of croissants I chose. Went with two regular croissants, almond, lemon curd, and a spinach pastry. I liked everything ok but the best one was almond croissant!!! There was so many almond and it wasn't too sweet. Taste best with if you have it with tea or coffee read more

I don't eat croissants. Well until I our Uber driver recommended this place. We ate there two days in a row. They are incredible! So fresh, flaky, full of flavor. Kind of hard to describe their goodness. We liked them so much that we brought a box back to the US. We tired 6 different kinds, all so good! The facility beautiful, open and modern, you can see them being made right in front of you. Great coffee too. Service was superb! The workers there are SO NICE! A must when in Melbourne. Go early though or expect a line! read more

Lune has fabulous croissants! I have been there twice and highly recommend. I went to the new location in the Melbourne CBD on Collins street (entrance on Russell St). I have gotten the Lemon Curd Cruffin, the chocolate croissant, and the almond croissant. The almond is pricey but really nice. My favorite would be the chocolate because I'm a choc lover. The one down side is that my coffee-loving friend had a coffee and said it was no good. However, I think you come for the croissants if you come to Lune- and it's worth it! The first time I went I met the owner while she was hand-glazing the croissants. She told me that most bakeries use machines to glaze the croissants. She was super friendly, passionate about her work, and lovely to chat to. She also seemed very excellent at what she does, having learned in Paris. read more
We made a trip for the "world's best crossiant". I liked the open concept of the place where you can see the bakeries being made. We ordered a plaint crossiant and a pina colada cruffin. The crossiant was crispy and buttery. The cruffin was ok, I've had better ones before. Overall, it was good experience and i'll definitely return to try other items. read more

Woke up bright and early to line up for these croissants. Unfortunately, I found they did not live up to the hype. I may just be spoiled with incredibly buttery airy croissants back home but Lune's ended up being too doughy and dense for me! I preferred the Lemon Curd Cruffin, as it was more unique and the crunch was enjoyable. Despite the long wait and a tiny bit of disappointment, I don't regret trying these during my trip. I wish there were more flavors available (or rather, I wish most flavors weren't sold out by the time I got to the cash)! read more
Coming from San Francisco, waiting in line for expensive baked goods is a way of life, so I absolutely had to try out this place. It did not disappoint! I arrived on a Monday, about 5 mins before they opened. There was a short line, but I really only waited about 10 minutes from when they opened to being served. (People wait in line for an hour for ice cream in SF, so this was effortless for me.) The barista was working the line and taking coffee orders. I had my lovely latte in my hand before I finished ordering my croissants. You can't really see what is on offer until you get to the front... the line might move slightly faster if the menu board/website was updated with the daily offerings, but once you lay eyes on them you will probably change your mind a bunch anyways. I appreciated the staff was patient in answering all of my questions, despite the long line. So these croissants are just as amazing as you would hope for all the hype (and the price: $7.50-$9.00 each). It was hard to choose, but now I have a reason to go back. There was a rare twice-baked chocolate coconut creation that was pretty much like my idea of heaven. I wanted to curl up inside of it and eat my way out of the warm chocolate and coconut filling. The Lamington cruffin was also fabulous - inside was a dense whipped cream, a ribbon of raspberry jam, then chocolate and coconut on top. The Kouign Amann is a much simpler option - kind of like a less crunchy palmier. All 3 were delectable and I was sad when they were gone. Though the shop looks sparse, there's actually quite a lot of seating if you want to eat there. (Which seems smart, as you could then get back in line and order more, as you will certainly want to do!) read more
Best croissants ever! And they're so large! I've heard lune can have a crazy line but the couple times I've gone the lines been a ok! Such a nice staff, aesthetically pleasing store and just the flaky, goeyness of the chocolate croissant was everything I was looking for. read more
Best Croissant in Melbourne. The traditional Croissant is fresh, crisp, buttery and perfect layers. The first bite of their traditional croissant will set the bar high every time you try a Croissant anywhere else in Melbourne. Some say their Croissants/Pastries is expensive. I say it's worth it because there's nothing that tastes as good as it looks in Melbourne. Pastries are freshly baked including traditional Croissant, Twiced Baked Almond Croissant, Pain au Chocolat and Cruffins. I find their seasonal/limited edition Cruffins to be a hit and miss for me. Their Buttered Panna Cotta Popcorn Cruffin (most recent Cruffin) is amazing. Fresh sugary pastry filled with a sweet buttery and creamy goodness. Keep an eye out for their new/seasonal pastries via social media particularly Instagram. Personally, love their traditional Croissant which is one of their most popular pastries. Their Twice Baked Almond Croissant is also very popular, which is a great treat if you want something more sweet and textural than their traditional Croissant. Lune is always busy with locals, customers from other suburbs and tourists. If you want to avoid the crowd/peak hour, line up before they open or before 9am. Depending on the day, they may sell out as early as lunch time. read more

The croissants were pretty good. The jam/cream filled and the lemon curd had just the right amount of tartness vs sweetness. The ham and Gruyere was pretty good too. A bit on the expensive side for croissants though. #maneklady #manekwats #manektravels read more
Look no one likes someone who over exaggerates but this is not a joke. I think this is on par, if not better, than the best croissant I ever had in France! Hands down. Do yourself the best favor possible and just go here as often as you can or simply whenever you can! We were in Melbourne visiting from Sydney and if I had known about it earlier, I probably would have gone every day. Thank goodness I have the excuse of pregnancy to demolish multiple pastries in a day! PAY ATTENTION: 1. Decide what you want in advance to keep the line moving. 2. Feel free to roam up innocently to the counter so you can visualize what your order is going to look like as they have them all laid out on the counter. 3. Try to go on a weekday and early. If you have no choice, just take a book for the weekend line. I promise it is worth it. 4. Don't go in the afternoon on a weekend hoping to avoid the line- they sell out! 5. Try everyone you want to but don't be fooled- the plain croissant is what will keep you coming back. 6. The hot chocolate is also delicious! My top 5 (after a couple of visits) would be in order: - Plain croissant - Reuben - Kouign Amman - Ham and cheese - Almond croissant Sorry to sound so evangelical but this is worth moving to Melbourne for! read more
