About Dalila’s Pâtisserie
Croissants are the thing to know about at Dalila's Pâtisserie, a French-style bakery in Swansea, Tasmania. The pastry cabinet is mostly sweet, with an almond croissant that gets plenty of mentions, plus pistachio hazelnut croissants, cronuts (the Oreo one is a favourite) and the odd crookie, which is part croissant, part cookie. Savoury croissants and baked savouries turn up too, along with a pesto and cheese flatbread, so you're not stuck with sweet only.
People who've stopped in talk about the fresh-from-the-oven feel of the pastries, and about the staff, who come across as friendly and knowledgeable. Custom decorated cakes are on offer as well, and the display cases are tempting. The coffee gets good words, oat milk lattes included.
The building is historic, with beautiful brickwork and an original brick oven, and there's seating inside and out, so it's a pleasant place to linger over a coffee. Takeaway is available if you'd rather eat on the road, and there's free parking nearby, including an accessible car park.
Locals say it's on the pricier side compared with some Hobart bakeries, so go in expecting patisserie prices. Opening days are limited and don't cover the whole week, so check the hours before you head in, especially if you're passing through. If you want your croissant warm, ask the staff to heat it up.

“Do not skip Dalila's! We had two coffees (a flat white and an iced latte) and a cronut to take away - some of the best coffee we've ever had and the cronut was to-die-for.”
