Lune Lonsdale

Bakery$

Dubbed “Maxi Lune”, Lune’s fourth Melbourne store beneath the Ritz-Carlton hotel in the west end churns out more than 6000 croissants a day. Designed by local studio In Addition, the 418-square-metre shopfront and production site has soaring ceilings, a sprawling concrete bench laid with one of each pastry, and its signature glass-walled “cube” where you can peer in on the pastry being laminated – centimetres away from an inside bench seat, or through a huge window from the footpath. It’s also got the most seating of any Lune store, with room for 50 people.

Pastries are baked fresh throughout the day, so you can get them while they’re still warm. That includes the bestselling almond croissant and the second-bestselling traditional croissant, as well as monthly specials and Lune Lonsdale exclusives.
