About 103 Bakehouse
Ask around Camberwell about 103 Bakehouse and the egg tarts come up first. The Portuguese tarts get the loudest praise, and locals will tell you they rank among the better ones in Melbourne: buttery, fresh, and fun to try even if you're only after one. The custard tarts have a following too, and one local called the service as good as the baking.
This is an Asian-leaning bakery with a French pastry streak. The shokupan bread and the soft, pillowy buns (taro and custard among them) are what regulars steer newcomers towards, and the cream cheese buns have their own quiet fans. Croissants are a draw as well, from the classic French style to a pistachio-filled one with plenty of cream. We've heard the lava pan au chocolat is a showstopper, big enough to share. Opinion is a little split on some of the savoury pastries, with the hash brown croissant and kabana roll not winning everyone over, so lean on the sweet classics if you're picking one thing.
Staff are friendly and happy to point you towards something good, and people find the prices fair for what's on offer. Baked goods come out fresh from the oven, and the bakery also does custom cakes if you have an occasion coming up. It's all takeaway, and they take cards and mobile payments. Parking nearby is easy to get to, though one local noted it can get tight at busy times.
It's open daily, with hours that run a touch shorter on weekends, so check before you head in. Late in the day there's usually still a decent spread on the shelves, though the pick of the range goes first.
