"Lune’s own account has 90,000 followers, and it’s easy to see why. Their croissants and cruffins are delicious works of art, with posts showing off glossy shells, mesmerising layers and creative garnishes. Plus, given they’re one of the hottest foodie tickets in town, it’s a case of “if you didn’t ‘gram it, did you really get one”?"

"Where: Fitzroy (There's also a CBD "express" offshoot in Russell Street.). Why: Blending bedrock Aussie flavours and French fabulousness with typical Lune flair, croissant pastry is slathered with black gold and cheesy bechamel, rolled into a scroll then topped with gruyere. It's a deluxe spin ($8) on a lunchbox staple."

"When the New York Times labels your croissants the best in the world, the world listens. Come to Lune for textbook-perfect croissants (made using the method traditionale: a three-day process) and cruffins, and be prepared to wait a while – queues begin at the crack of dawn. 119 Rose St, Fitzroy, lunecroissanterie.com"

"And who wouldn't line up for baklava escargot and 'Tirami-choux'?. Follow Bread Club's Instagram for the daily drop of menu items. Think brie pumpkin sourdough sando, pepperoni pizza, chewy choc chip cookies and loaded doughnuts."

"Melbourne is in love with this simple dessert, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on the hype surrounding this Japanese-style cheesecake. One of the joys of Uncle Tetsu’s shop is the simplicity — the store sells a couple of simple variations on the perfect combination of wheat, egg, milk and cheese. A slice of the original signature Japanese cheesecake is melt-in-your-mouth soft and fluffy."

"On its window, Monarch Cakes claims to be “Exquisite since 1934”, and it's not a lie. There’s an old-school charm to this St Kilda cake shop, the kind that no amount of climate-controlled, Parisian pastry precision can match. The bundt chocolate kugelhopf, a marble cake with stripes of melted chocolate throughout, is the kind of cake you want to take home to your mother."

"Monarch Cakes in St Kilda has been making desserts on Acland Street since the 1930s. With more than 80 years’ experience, the staff at this place know a thing or two about making delicious treats. There’s the Polish baked-cheesecake made from a 100-year-old recipe, the locally loved chocolate kooglhoupf, and the continental custard vanilla slice."

"It’s fair to say, any one of Becky’s creations will make you go ooh and ahh She loves creating as much as you’ll love eating them. From a young age Becky had a flair for baking (and eating, too), but she never considered either as a career. Instead she did the proper thing and completed a university degree in IT, before going on to work at one of the region’s largest banks.It wasn’t until Becky fell pregnant with her very first child that her artistic talent paid a visit once again."

"Restaurants Fitzroy North. You’d almost think you had wandered into a little patisserie in the Marais upon entering Cavallini – the feel is distinctly European. Creations by pastry chef Robert Coco include sourdough and olive bread, panini, pizzette and a range of sweet and savoury viennoisserie including a spinach and bechamel topped croissant guaranteed to make you weak at the knees."
