About Filous Patisserie and Bakery
Filous Patisserie and Bakery is a patisserie and bakery on a quiet stretch of Carlton North, the sort of shop you can duck into for a coffee and something sweet or savoury without any fuss. It's a retail storefront with room to sit in, and you can also take away, collect in store or have orders delivered. The kitchen turns out custom cakes, sweet treats, savouries and quiches, and the tagline on their own site talks about preparing everything with love, gratitude and good ingredients.
The almond croissant is the item people bring up most. We've heard it described as one of the biggest around, generously filled and fresh, and one visitor from out of town still raved about it long after the trip. Tarts get a good word too, with the raspberry and strawberry ones singled out as favourites. Cakes are a real strength here: locals say they've ordered several over the years, and the shop also handles catering orders. If you're after something for a celebration, the custom cake service is worth asking about.
On the savoury side, people mention pies, sausage rolls, spinach slice and mushroom slice. Opinion is split on those. Some regulars feel the pastry and fillings have slipped from what they remember, so go in and you can judge for yourself. Others are perfectly happy with a simple, old-fashioned patisserie stop, and the coffee gets a thumbs up from plenty of people as a decent start to the day.
The staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, and the cake display gets plenty of admiring comments. There's a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, free street parking nearby, and card and tap payments are accepted. It's open seven days, with slightly shorter hours on weekends, though it's worth checking the hours before you head in.
For a bakery in Carlton North with a strong cake and pastry side and a friendly counter, Filous is an easy one to add to the list.
