Lune Croissanterie Melbourne CBD

Been wanting to visit the place for a while and finally made the trip with my family to try the famous Melbourne croissant.

Luckily the wait was not long only 10 minutes for our turn. I have heard before that sometimes you are unlucky when they are sold out for the day. So pretty good day for us all the flavors were available. We ordered the traditional plan croissant, almond, everything (cream cheese and thyme) croissant, lemon curd, and cinnamon. We also order a flat white, cappuccino and hot chocolate.

Lune’s croissant did not fail us, all the flavors were amazing, the crunch of the croissant was musical and the coffee was really good.

I recommend this place if you are craving for a tasty flavorful croissant while in the city.

We arrived 20 minutes before closing and only had to wait about 15 min. In line, we met a lovely Australian couple who bought us our croissants.

The croissant wasn’t bad, but I don’t agree with the hype. I think it had too much air in it and wasn’t doughy enough. The flavor was flat, not buttery and not sweet enough. It looked very perfect but I have had better croissants for sure.

Not much to say about service or atmosphere. I suppose the staff are just working through the queue as quickly as they can.

Came across Lune online and couldn’t miss the opportunity to see what all the fuss was about as I love pastries and was visited from England. I arrived around 8.20am (it opens at 8am) and didn’t get in until past 9 due to the huge queue with more people constantly joining. I did consider whether the wait was worth but waited and was met with a very friendly man on the counter. There is a bit of a feeling of having to choose quickly due to the huge queue. I picked several almond croissants (pictured) which were around $11 each. Both were delicious and worth it to see the hype but not sure I would visit more than once.

5 STARS BUT…
(Please read this review carefully for your reference)

I’ve been so curious about this place for months since I arrived in Melbourne last November. I didn’t make it last time when I tried to visit but the queue was just crazy.

This time when I passed by, it’s not too bad so I ended up getting 2 basic croissant to prove the hype.

Well, here is my personal thoughts:
I would say the croissant is good, so buttery, flaky, and crispy even when I don’t heat it up and bought it in the afternoon.

However, paying $20 only for a pain au choco and almond croissant is just too overpriced and overrated when you can get the same quality or even a better croissant out there with the same or cheaper price.

This is not a bad review, I’m just sharing my personal thoughts.

Since the first time I went to Lune, I fell in love with everything 💘, especially the almond croissant 🥐 and cinnamon roll 🤤, but every single pastry is exquisite! It’s not cheap at all, but I think it’s completely worth it🫰🏽. The quality, presentation, and atmosphere are just on another level✨. It’s always busy; there is never a time I’ve been when there isn’t a queue, so make sure to have plenty of time to enjoy the experience.
Guys, please hire me 🤣!
