About Penny for Pound - Camberwell
Penny for Pound is a bakery and cafe in Camberwell, Victoria, with a counter full of croissants and pastries and room to sit in. You can dine in or take your order away, and in-store pick-up is on offer too. They also serve coffee and breakfast, so it works for a proper sit-down or a quick grab before a walk.
The pastries are the draw. We hear the croissants get the most love, from a plain one with good lamination and a balance that isn't too sweet or too savoury, to savoury versions like caramelised onion and Gruyère, or a vegemite and cheese croissant with crispy cheese on top. Danishes, Portuguese tarts, banana bread and the cruffin come up too. It has a name locally for sourdough and represents good value.
Welcoming staff are a regular mention, and the room itself is well lit and pleasant. The coffee gets plenty of praise, though a few locals find it more serviceable than special.
Be aware that popular items can sell out, plain croissants in particular, and by early afternoon the cabinet can look thin. If you have your heart set on something, go earlier in the day. The bakery trades most of the day, seven days a week, but check the hours before you head in.
If you're in Camberwell and after a good croissant, this is an easy one to add to your list.
