What our customers say about us
"Lovely little French cafe. Owner was super lovely. Food was tasty and the pancakes looked like a work of art! Coffee was great also! We came around 11am and a lot of the pastries were sold out and we managed to get the last serving of pancakes. So suggest going earlier if you want to try all the options. At 11.30 you can order some savoury options. Would definitely recommend!"
"The perfection of the croissants and cafe took me straight back to a renowned Boulangerie in Dijon. To mix it up a bit i had a raspberry croissant which you would expect in a Pâtisserie. Do take the time to indulge as it is truly worth it. C'est absolument délicieux!"
"Never thought a simple croissant could make me come back two days in a row, and even take a few to-go before leaving Port Lincoln! If you're visiting, this place is a must-try. Every dish is delicious, but don't miss the croissants – they're a game changer! The Chili Scrambled Eggs are creamy with just the right amount of spice, and the Truffle Mushroom is perfectly rich and savory. The Croissant Madame is an absolute feast with truffle sauce, cheese, and a runny egg. Make sure to arrive early, as they're always busy!"
"A charming French patisserie with absolutely delightful and flavorful creations! The croissants are also truly fabulous: light and full of taste. The service is warm and personal, making every visit feel special. I treated myself here for three days in a row and each time was pure joy. Many heartfelt thanks and see you again soon!"
"We recently had breakfast while staying in Port Lincoln. It was amazing! I had the best scrambled eggs I had ever eaten and hubby had the breakfast board and he was very satisfied, although he also ate half of mine as they were very generous servings. We also purchased 4 of their award winning croissants and they were also delicious. If you are visiting Port Lincoln do yourself a favour and stop in."
"The new spring menu is out and it is absolutely delicious!!! 5 stars just doesn't seem enough to give as a review!! My personal favourite is the Nduja & Fennel Sausage Ragu pasta! A great amount of heat with out of this world flavor. My husband raved about the Smoked Fish Croquette, and that bearnaise sauce deserves a standing ovation! The Pistachio cube is heaven on earth, that pairs beautifully with a hot coffee. Both of the owners Grace and Marvin go out of their way to make you feel welcome!"
"Always amazing! Every visit feels special. The food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented, and the coffee is rich and perfectly made. What really makes this café stand out is the people, Pierre and Brendon went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. Their kindness, genuine smiles, and attention to detail made our time here unforgettable. Thank you for making every visit such a pleasure!"
"A Port Lincoln must do!! Probably the most delicious croissant and pan au chocolat I've had other than in Paris. I've been to Lune Croissanterie in Melbourne and Sydney and these were far better! Flaky, buttery deliciousness. Coffee was good too. If you're after a quick takeaway coffee and croissant you won't get better. You can also see the pastry chef working the laminator through the window in store. 10/10."
"The perfect gem in Port Lincoln! Excellent quality, one of the best croissants in Australia, and absolutely delicious vegetarian options. Great concept all along - the team definitely deserve their multiple awards"
"A French Bakery......like kryptonite to Superman 😄 breakfast of Kings not to be missed. Once you've conquered the full fat delicious breaky you must take some pastry souvenirs 😋 Service was great, venue cosy and the star food sensational!!"
