This rooftop bakehouse – the cherry on top of shopping centre Burwood Brickworks, in Melbourne’s east – is as playful as it is colourful. The staff wear frilly, pretty-in-pink uniforms to serve coffee from a similarly pink La Marzocco machine, and a fun array of pastries, including a croissant-cookie hybrid called a “crookie”. Savoury winners include sausage rolls filled with dry-aged chorizo from G. McBean Family Butcher, and a vegan version with broccoli, and pickled radish from the rooftop’s community garden.

Signature item: Pink croissant ($7.80), a tangy, strawberry-filled take on the classic, dusted with organic plum power.
