Correction (5 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026.
Which CBD bakeries are worth a detour, and when can you actually get in? This page covers six places, all in Melbourne CBD: a French patisserie on Collins Street, a croissanterie on Lonsdale Street, and four more bakeries and patisseries elsewhere in the CBD.
Every place was matched against two independent sources. Hours appear only where a named listing prints them, and we say whose listing it is. Several of those sources are undated, so treat times as a starting point and confirm before you go.

Laurent Boulangerie Patisserie — 45 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000
The City of Melbourne What’s On listing files Laurent as a bakery at Collins Place, 45 Collins St. The listing prints weekday hours of 7am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 3pm and Sunday closed. Each day’s time appears twice on that page, and the site is undated, so those hours may be out of date. No published menu or prices turned up in our search.
Go for: a weekday visit, since the council listing shows Sunday closed.
Lune Croissanterie — 670 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
Lune’s own site lists a CBD location at 670 Lonsdale St. An OpenStreetMap tag gives hours of 07:30 to 17:00 on weekdays and 08:00 to 17:00 on weekends. That is the map tag only, it may be out of date, and the site itself is undated. We could not find a published menu.
The order: the name says croissants, but we could not find a menu, so check the site for what is on offer.
Hopetoun Bake Shop — 20-22 McKillop Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
The bake shop sits at 20-22 McKillop Street, and its website, hopetountearooms.com.au, has a bake shop page that prints that address. We found no hours we could stand behind, so none are given here. The site is undated, so check it for what is current.
Start at: the bake shop page on the Hopetoun website, to see what it lists before you walk over.
Le Petit Gateau — 458 Little Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
RACV’s own page for Le Petit Gateau patisserie gives the address as 458 Little Collins Street. It lists Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, and says it is closed on weekends. The page sits among RACV’s city restaurants and bars. We found no prices.
Go for: a weekday window, as RACV lists nothing on weekends.
Bakemono Bakers — 273 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
Bakemono’s site gives its address as 273 Little Lonsdale St. It lists Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 3:00pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am to 3:00pm. An OpenStreetMap tag matches those times. The site carries no date, so double-check before you set off. We could not find a published menu.
Start at: the site’s hours list, which names every day of the week.
Cobb Lane — 7-23 Bennetts Lane, Melbourne VIC 3000
Cobb Lane’s own site prints an address on Bennetts Lane and lists more than one branch, so confirm which one you are heading to. We have not printed hours for it: the OpenStreetMap tag we hold may be out of date, so check the CBD entry on its locations page. We could not find a published menu.
Go for: the CBD entry on Cobb Lane’s locations page, to confirm hours before you walk over.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 4 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, council pages and the places’ own websites. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
