Country Sourdough
72-hour cold fermentation. Open crumb, thick blistered crust, subtle acidity that builds on the second bite. Baked in our deck oven every morning.
Dark Rye & Seeds
Whole-grain rye with toasted pumpkin, sunflower and caraway. Dense, nutty and satisfying — made for good butter or strong cheese.
Einkorn & Honey Loaf
Ancient einkorn wheat with local raw honey and a touch of lard for depth. Lighter crumb, slightly sweet, golden crust.
Rosemary & Sea Salt Focaccia
Deeply poolish-based dough, extra-virgin olive oil from South Australia's Mclaren Vale, fresh rosemary, Fleurieu salt flakes. Sold in slabs.
Spelt & Olive
Stoneground spelt with Ligurian olives and a hint of lemon zest. Rustic, substantial. A good alternative for those who find wheat heavy.
Viennoiserie & Pastries
Laminated with Australian cultured butter. Made the long way.

Classic Croissant
27 layers. Cultured Pepe Saya butter. Three days of slow lamination. The kind that leaves you covered in flakes and doesn't apologise.
Pain au Chocolat
Two bars of Valrhona Guanaja 70% dark chocolate tucked into the same croissant dough. Not too sweet. Exactly as it should be.
Twice-Baked Almond Croissant
Day-old croissants soaked in Cointreau syrup, filled with frangipane, baked again until caramelised. Toasted flaked almonds on top. Powdered sugar. Rich.
Kouign-Amann
Brittany's great gift to the world. Laminated dough, sugar caramelised in butter, slightly crisp base, chewy centre, salty-sweet in every layer.
Seasonal Danish
A rotating showcase of what's beautiful right now. Ask at the counter — this week we have a roasted pear and vanilla cream with candied walnut.
Canelé
Bordeaux-style. Beeswax-brushed copper moulds. Deep mahogany exterior, custardy interior scented with rum and vanilla bean. Made in small batches.
Ham & Gruyère Croissant
Black Forest ham, aged Gruyère, a brush of Dijon. The closest thing to a proper French breakfast outside of Paris. Available until midday.
Cakes by the Slice
A rotating selection, baked daily. Ask what's fresh.

Seasonal Tart
Short crust pastry shell, crème pâtissière, topped with whatever fruit is best right now. This week: blood orange and cardamom. Ask at the counter.
Flourless Chocolate & Espresso Cake
Dense, fudgy, deeply chocolate. Made without flour — genuinely gluten-free, not an afterthought. A small scoop of crème fraîche on the side.
Brown Butter Financier
Hazelnut brown butter, almond meal, a golden crust that gives way to a moist interior. Small and precisely made. Two bites of something serious.
Feuilletine Praline Slice
Layers of dark chocolate ganache, praline feuilletine crunch, and milk chocolate mousse. Smooth, crunchy, addictive. One of the signatures.
Lemon Verbena Pound Cake
Olive oil cake steeped with fresh lemon verbena from the kitchen garden. Light crumb, fragrant, barely sweet. Good with morning coffee.
Coffee & Drinks
Single-origin filter and espresso. Sourced through Padre Coffee, Carlton.
Espresso
Short, intense, direct. Our rotating single-origin pulled as a two-shot espresso.
Flat White
Double ristretto, steamed whole milk, micro-foam. Classic Melbourne-style. Served in a ceramic cup, not a paper one, if you're staying.
Oat milk +$0.50
Filter Coffee
V60 pour-over by the cup. A brighter, cleaner way to experience a good bean. Ask us what's on the filter menu today.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha Latte
Stone-ground Japanese matcha from Kyoto, steamed oat milk. Earthy, slightly sweet, nothing like the sweet-powder versions.
Chai Latte
Loose-leaf masala chai brewed strong, steamed with whole milk. We make the blend in-house — ginger-forward, not candy-sweet.
Still / Sparkling Water
Filtered still water or chilled San Pellegrino.
Seasonal Specials
A small rotating selection that changes with what's growing, blooming, and inspiring.
