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.
