The French Lettuce Patisserie & Bakery

We attended a 60th birthday dinner last night and tried the lovely chocolate sponge with fresh cream and strawberries. This is a simple classic done well and whilst I’m not typically a fan of sponge this was really light and quite a good option after a large banquet style dinner. Note the ten inch size is HUGE<br/ <br/ Original review<br/ Mum would have her birthday cake from non other than The French Lettuce. A simple coles muddy wouldn’t do for mumsy she had to have a $140 chocolate mud creation complete with toffee shard. As I had outlaid so much for said cake I thought screw the calories I’m having a huge slice and it was suitably divine. I had to pre order this cake and once I was final...

The French Lettuce has the reputation for having the best vanilla slice in Melbourne, so I had to check it out. This is definitely more of a patisserie set up, with a few tables if you wish to sit in. Service was OK, but it was busy with a lot of takeaways at the same time. The staff still seemed friendly though.<br/ <br/ The standout here is the food. There is a beautiful choice of cakes and pastries, and sure enough, the vanilla slice was excellent. I'm not sure that it's the best I've ever had, but it was still delicious with a really creamy custard filling, and nice flaky pastry. Coffee was also good, but the pastries are easily the star here.

Vanilla Slice 5/5 <br/ French Lettuce takes price for serving the best Vanilla slice in Melbourne and indeed they are worthy of it! The Vanilla slice has a crusty and light layers of pastry. The Vanilla filling was creamy, smooth and light not over powering at all. <br/ <br/ Unfortunately they’re short of 1 star because their other desserts pastries were just alright.

Very helpful staff members.<br/ <br/ Price <br/ Standard pricing for pastries and dessert. Vanilla slice is 6.50 and it’s worth it. <br/ <br/ Overall verdict <br/ I’ll only go back for their Vanilla...

Easily the best vanilla slice in Melbourne, I cannot get enough of their magical vanilla custard, it's very consistent with the flavour every time I've been there, tastes exactly the same!<br/ <br/ Pies are very good also and the sausage rolls are great, can't fault this place.

Their vanilla slice really is one of the best I've had! It's not too rich or sweet, but still has a very distinct but elegant vanilla flavour. My partner and I thought it was very refreshing. Also really enjoyed their orange and almond cake.

Favorite cafe in Melbourne. Don't miss the pastry of the day- usually good to split as they are abundant in both size and flavor.
