Frenchwoman Agathe Kerr admits that her Earl Grey or coffee croissants at Melbourne’s Agathe Patisserie would be a little too bold in her home country, where she trained. But moving to Australia exposed her to flavours she’d never had before, such as pandan and matcha, sparking a creative chapter in her viennoiserie.

Each weekend, the queues at Kerr’s famed South Melbourne Market croissant stall are regularly so long they require airport-style barriers. In addition to croissants (of the plain, pain au chocolat, escargot, pandan and almond varieties), you’ll also find pastries and sweets like flan, canneles, madeleines, assorted danishes and more.

Also in the CBD.
