Welcome to Lune Croissanterie, home of Melbourne's cult croissant

This is the story of Kate Reid and Lune Croissanterie, a career change, an idea and a cult croissant that's captivated a city.
To boldly queue for early morning croissants is part of the Lune Croissanterie experience, so set your alarm early for a taste of world-renowned pastries (that take three days to make) and have quickly become Melbourne's cult croissant.
In a space-themed bakery in Melbourne's north lies Lune Croissanterie by Kate Reid. Attracting people from around Australia and the rest of the world quite literally, traditionalists can wrap their old-school mitts around French croissants, pain au chocolat and Danishes, while adventurers, can get their cruffin fix, or try the Lune Lab - a three-course experimental-pastry flight.

Hello from Singapore! Definitely one of the best experience in Melbourne!

[@BLKBRDD]

What irritates me about these artisan bakeries in Melbourne, is that this is normal bread in Europe and we sell it at a premium

[@markwilken2492]

A friend and I drive over an hour to get these nearly once a week. Absolute perfection

[@visitmelbourne]

They are 100% worth the drive!

[@Candlewick14]

Woah you are a very powerful person! Amazing.

[@longbeach5045]

Wow! 😮 Let's see

[@suzilahlah]

I’m heading down this weekend for a chocolate one. I was today years old when I learned about Lune 😮

[@siddharthnandi8567]

make sure to be there the earliest, they usually run out of those very quickly

[@SamGiles]

Marvellous video - captures Melbourne's vibrant food scene flawlessly!

[@visitmelbourne]

Have you been to Lune?

[@SamGiles]

Not yet. Although, after seeing this video, it just jumped into first place for places to visit.

I found out Lune and Kate from Porsche's TH-cam channel

[@marizcampolet2729]

She's actually an aerospace engineer 😮

[@samueljohnclark]

Artisanal Bakehouse at Bentleigh also excellent and run by a Frenchman. Nonetheless, will pop in to Lune during my next Melbourne visit

[@carolineinsydney1281]

Now i wish i lived in Melbourne, they are famous for their food

[@vk3cca]

The original Lune is from Bordeaux.

[@jm1835]

I lived in Paris for 3 years but the best croissant I've ever had is from Lune

[@JordanHammond7]

I bet you never paid $6 for a butter croissant in Paris though

[@geoff1646]

Looks very nice and in Melbourne Australia just so, so lovely.

[@kathystefanidis2203]

They are awsome!!!!

[@visitmelbourne]

So delicious!

[@Sykopz]

Me living in Melbourne my whole life and not knowing of lune at all 😳

[@elizabethbalayan3554]

Truly delicious!
We had our breakfast there last Jan 24, 2024! I was'nt able to bring some for my family on our last day in Melbourne bec of long line of customers and they are closed by 3 PM!

[@monaokasha9070]

I love to try that Chrisawn 😋😋

[@JFomo]

Fancy, thank you youtube.

[@sachah2400]

Majority of croissants in Paris are actually low quality. The ones at Lune are high end flaky. But very expensive.

[@JordanHammond7]

Was in Paris for the weekend, walked by a small bakery that had the most amazing flakey butter croissants and more, for only €1.40. Good croissants do not need to cost a fortune.

[@john_p]

when i holiday in melbourne its lune for breakfast every day❤️

[@visitmelbourne]

It's impossible to walk past!

[@onecattwocat]

all i want is a croissant 😔

[@visitmelbourne]

join the club.

[@CaseySouthern]

it’s my dream to work in Formula 1 too 💙

[@visitmelbourne]

One day hopefully 🤞🏻. Who’s you’re favourite driver?

[@beezchurger8748]

My favourite is Daniel Ricciardo, true blue aussie F1 driver that has a big heart and lots of talent

[@visitmelbourne]

@@beezchurger8748 it’s hard not to love Dan, although we are Australian, so we’re a little bit biased.

[@maradeghenghi700]

Fu

[@CaseySouthern]

@@visitmelbourne It's hard to not say Daniel Ricciardo! But if I had to choose another driver, it'd be Lando Norris - can't wait to see them both at McLaren at the Australian Grand Prix in 2021 😆

[@jay6817]

Got any zero carb versions? 😜

[@visitmelbourne]

Can you imagine.....

[@TedSeay]

You haven't been to Vienna, have you?
They're pretty good at that viennoiserie thing, you know...

[@siddharthnandi8567]

always wondered why they ran out of chocolate croissants, now i finally found out why....

[@JoelGarcia-ml9jx]

Please, for the love of god, the T is silent.

[@Magooch86]

Shut up

[@andrewfrancisjames]

Inaccessible hipster hot air. Housing crisis cost of living in the edgy gutter just outside

[@neilmurphy7554]

Average cost of a croissant in Paris: Euro1.30 = AU$2.11 ......Lune croissant AU$5.30 WTF!

[@neilmurphy7554]

sorry mistake.... cost of 1 croissant is $5.90 !!!!!!!!!!

[@Serenety1953]

Wow thats about right.

[@RoadtoRomaniacs]

It’s a completely different country you numpty; supply and demand my friend

[@CFCMAMO1]

Jesus. Been meaning to go to this place but had a feeling price would be mad

[@libbyanderson3752]

A shame it is so expensive here
Croissant for breakfast a delight but at that price a luxury whereas in France an everyday occurence.

[@fu8713]

Bullgaks

[@arielswick924]

The staff there are lovely but they present the food like they're showing you the hope diamond. What should be an efficient purchasing process takes takes 4 times as long (adding to the length of lines) because they're having a formal presentation about pastry. The food is high quality but not worth a 2 hour wait in a line of people taking selfies. The croissants are more flaky than substance.

Any Jews still eating Lune?

[@fabdrago8237]
