Amann Patisserie — Local services in Melbourne

Update: I went back (25 SEP 25) as I wanted to try the cinnamon rolls. We ordered two ham& cheese (of course) and a cinnamon roll. Ham& cheese was like heaven again, every bit was perfectly balanced to perfection. The cinnamon roll was good. Sweet but not too much. The only thing is, I thought the rolls itself has gotten a bit saggy because of the cream topping. Maybe if they added the topping when servicing the cinnamon rolls it would taste so much better. We decided to stop by after driving past so many times and noticing how busy it always gets. They have a great range of croissants—both sweet and savoury. We ordered the ham & cheese, maple syrup and bacon, and a classic almond croissant—all up $24. Service was super quick; the only wait was for the coffees. The standout was the ham & cheese croissant—honestly the best I’ve ever had! It had a creamy sauce inside that was out of this world. The maple syrup & bacon croissant was good too, though I think it would have been better if it had been served warm. The almond croissant wasn’t quite what we expected—it didn’t really taste like almonds. Not terrible, just not the traditional almond flavour we had in mind. Overall, definitely worth a visit, especially for that ham & cheese croissant which I'll be...

Amann Pâtisserie had been on my list for a while — and it was absolutely worth the wait. Open Wednesday to Sunday, this charming little shop takes orders from outside, with just three small tables to sit at. The service is warm, personal, and efficient, and if you feel like practicing your French, the staff will happily play along. For the serious learners, they even offer French lessons!

Now, the best part… the pastries! I ordered the Almond Croissant, Kouign Amann, Pain Suisse, and Raspberry Tart — every single one was divine. The Croissant aux Amandes was perfection: countless delicate layers baked just right, a generous almond filling, and flavors in perfect balance. No surprise it sold out twice while we were sitting there. The Pain Suisse was a personal favorite, even over the Pain au Chocolat, and the Kouign Amann — generously filled with rich caramel — is an absolute must-try (yes, I hit the gym for this!). The Raspberry Tart was fresh, vibrant, and satisfying.

They also serve a great selection of coffees and specialty drinks — we went for the Blueberry Matcha, and on weekends, they expand the menu with even more options to explore.

Merci beaucoup! Trugarez vras...

A gorgeous pastry door nestled in Carlton North. The micro bakery/patisserie specialises in viennoiseries and pâtisseries. The owners initially wanted to just sell to cafés, but it became so much more than that when they opened up to the public. Their oven only fits four trays, so the capacity they make is limited. They start baking their pastries at 3am and don’t stop until they start serving their first customer and sometimes even beyond that! Not an easy gig at all. Amann literally translates to butter in French, and I love the choice of their name.

What I tried: 🍪 NYC Cookie: it was warm, falling-apart deliciousness, with walnuts, flaky sea salt, and big chunks of chocolate, it was perfect. 💖 Onion/goat’s cheese Danish: flaky, delicious, full of flavour.

I just can’t wait to come back!!! Make sure you get there early to enjoy the most...
