Why Choose Lou’s on Hampton?

Lou's on Hampton is known locally for exceptional pastries and pies that stand up to serious scrutiny, with customers rating their croissants, cheesecake and lamingtons highly. They handle custom cake orders and catering with care, devising menus and managing events from 15 to 120 guests, and offer gluten-free options across both sweet and savoury items. Everything is made in-house; grab a takeaway coffee and pastry, dine in, or have them deliver for your next occasion.

About Lou’s on Hampton

Lou's on Hampton is a patisserie-style bakery in Brighton, Victoria, where everything is made in-house rather than bought in. Locals know it for pies and sausage rolls, flaky croissants, quiche, and a cabinet of sweet things that includes cheesecake and a jam-and-cream lamington. There's good coffee to go with it, and you can take away, dine in or have things delivered.

The pastry is what people tend to rave about: golden, buttery and properly flaky. One local reckons the pies belong in any conversation about Melbourne's best, which is a big call, but it tells you how much they rate them. Gluten-free eaters are well looked after too, with savoury and sweet options, including mini quiches and festive extras like gravy and stuffing.

Catering is a real strength. Clare and her team have handled everything from a lunch for 80 to a birthday for around a hundred, and the word is that the planning is relaxed, the food is made from scratch and the setup is looked after. Custom cakes are on offer as well, and Christmas orders are popular, so book ahead if you're planning a big spread.

People who live a little further away still make the trip. Check the opening hours before you head in, as the week has a closed day.
