Humble Beginnings
We welcome you to L’Anse.
We started L’Anse in 2018, naming it with the French word for ‘cove’ or ‘bay’, given our new home was a stone's throw away from the beautiful Tumby Bay.

Kind words from real customers
Wow! I did not expect to find a specialty French pastry cafe in Port Lincoln! An incredible and delectable array of croissants and sweets to be enjoyed with good coffee. We actually had a friend from France with us and he said the quality was as good as the best he has eaten in France. The food menu looked amazing and although I did not have anything from it, what I saw coming out from the kitchen looked fantastic. A really special place to try. Don’t miss it.
I would seek this place out even in a larger city like Adelaide or Melbourne. Food is absolutely delicious and the croissants are from heaven—fresh, soft, stretchy, flaky, wonderful flavour. Great coffee also! The hat-trick🍴🥐 ☕️
You can rely on L’Anse for a 10/10 coffee and 10/10 fresh, perfect plain croissant first thing in the morning, or go a bit later for an amazing cooked brunch. Highly highly highly recommend. 🤍
This is an amazing cafe and restaurant in Port Lincoln. It is a must if you are visiting, the croissants are superb, the food is outstanding, and the staff are friendly. All to enjoy! One pro tip is to get early as the croissants fly out 😉
