Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Frankston

"There’s a good chance you’ll find a queue when you stop by Lune Croissanterie’s Collins Street shop in the CBD, but the treats here are definitely worth the wait. These expertly made croissants have been the talk of the town since Lune first popped up in Elwood, and then Fitzroy, years ago — and with good reason. It’s hard to go past a classic, especially when it’s made to this standard."

"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”?"

"Obviously Lune needs no introduction, it’s Lune after all; the home of the best croissant in the world. Owner Kate Reid reverse engineered the croissants from Paris that she was obsessing over to come up with her own. Acquiring a Lune croissant requires commitment; lines are often long and they always sell out."

"All you need is a love of carbs to join this particular club, where the rewards are awe-inspiring breads, pastries and pies. The two Frenchmen behind the venture have worked e at Vue de Monde, Woodfrog Bakery, Tivoli Road Bakery and Baker D. Chirico. Classic sourdough and baguettes are a given, while creative turns results in delights like Banana Split croissants, toffee custard doughnuts and saffron buns."

"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."

"A bakery is always a good option for breakfast, but Ned's Bake is so much more. Yep, you can pick up delicious fresh loaves of sourdough and mouth-watering baked goods, but it's well worth sticking around to peruse the brunch menu. We're talking marscapone pancakes, spanner crab salad, brioche french toast, or cured trout."

"Insta-baker Raymond Tan’s Raya is hidden in a laneway off Little Collins Street. Hunt it down and you’ll find him baking South East Asian-influenced cakes and savouries. Try treats like spinach and olive oil sponge, or grab gigantic cookies flavoured with miso, pistachio, sour cherry and dark chocolate."

"Amazing cake designs personalized for your special occasion. Your wedding day will be one of the most important occasions of your life. At COCO Cakes we understand this and will help guide you in the design and creation of a dream cake that fits your needs and desires."

"The scene:Woodland House is the place to go when you want the traditional fine dining ambiance. Expect perfectly-pressed crisp linen tablecloths, pale grey walls, very polite wait staff and a pretty garden view through the over-sized windows that could trick you into thinking your dining in an old English cottage. But although the atmosphere can feel a bit formal and proper, the food is anything but."

"The Conservatory restaurant offers an array of international cuisine, with a series of different culinary stations, each offering a unique dining experience."

"A beautiful inner-city park and a great back up if the wind is ruining your beach shoot. Small enough to feel quite intimate but there are lots of great spots for photos, depending on what time of day you arrive and where the sun is. Close to The Willows and The Park."

"Firstly you don’t need a permit (yay!) and even if there are lots of visitors in the gardens, there is still lots of space. Our fave spots are the hedge wall and gazebo near the rose garden. Even the public toilets have a great stone wall!"

"Sam and Duncan first met while working at wineries in New Zealand and it’s there they hatched their idea for Hop Nation Brewing Co. Housed in a huge 130-year-old warehouse in Footscray, the red brick and wall murals create a relaxed vibe to sip the day away on one of their four core beers, like ‘The Fiend’, an Australian IPA that’s Aussie to the core. Keep an eye on their limited release beers too."
