Lune Croissanterie | Kicking off our list of scrumptious bakeries is the world-renowned Lune Croissanterie. As the name suggests, this Melbourne bakery champions the humble croissant. The black industrial styled warehouse, designed by Studio Esteta, adopts a unique interior design approach. The large & minimalistic fit-out appears not like a shop, nor a factory but a space that celebrates the creation, complexity and ultimate enjoyment of a croissant. As the owner, Kate Reid’s is a former aerospace engineer, it’s no surprise that Lune’s fit-out has a precise and innovative look + feel. Whether you choose a traditional butter Croissant or a seasonal Danish, Lune’s baked goods never disappoint. If you stumble upon the block-long line of eager customers, you too will quickly realize that Lune has truly tapped into a market for exceptionally crafted baked treats. So much so, that the company has expanded into the Brisbane bakery market with a new store in Fish Lane.

Baker D. Chirico | Establishing itself as one of Melbourne’s best bakeries – Baker D. Chirico is known for its fresh bread, bestselling cannoli’s & unique store design. Customers can pick up a baked loaf of bread or even a raspberry frangipane tart. The store fit-out, designed by March Studio, takes inspiration from an oversized breadbasket. The bakery features wooden slats that cover the rear wall and ceiling of the shop, creating a waved-like ‘wall of bread’ that functions as shelving for loaves of bread. This unique fit-out concept can be seen from the shop front, so if the scent of oven-baked bread doesn’t draw your attention – the breathtaking design certainly will. Once inside, wooden chopping boards span the length of the bakery forming a countertop. Baker D. Chirico simplistic yet functional store fit-out mirrors the simple yet exquisite produce that the bakery cooks in-house.
