Rye & Dough — Restaurant in Melbourne

I came here after reading glowing reviews for the croissants. I live in France part of the year so I was missing a proper croissant.

5* for the staff's attentiveness and friendliness.

5* for such a cute storefront.

3* Sadly, I was a bit disappointed with the croissants as I found them heavy and not crispy enough. The inside is too dense and chewy. A great croissant should be light, feather-like and with a c.risp, flaky crust

4* for the baguette. It's almost perfect but found the inside a little too dense (not enough holes when cut open).

3,5* for the pain chocolate, almost the same issues as the croissants.

I previously made the mistake of leaving a 5 star review for this place, which I’ve now deleted.... cearly, I spoke too soon.

One of the best almond croissants in Melbourne. Such an underrated bakery, and I wish I tried it sooner.

Rye & Dough is an artisan bakery that specialise in exactly what their shop name says, including croissants, danishes, pies, sausage rolls and plenty of loaves.

Had to grab their most popular, the almond croissant. Phenomenal. The pastry itself was super buttery, flaky and airy. The filling inside was even better. It was a mix between your traditional almond frangipane with the most heavenly custardy centre, with a hint of spice which is up my alley. And for only $6, probably the best value for an exceptional almond croissant.
