About Brioche by Philip
Brioche by Philip is a modern French bakery and coffee house in Cheltenham, Victoria, with a Japanese influence running through its artisan breads, pastries and croissants. The team calls itself an artisan bakery and patisserie, and Philip brings more than 30 years of experience to the craft. The business has also been featured in The Age, Epicure and the Good Food Guide.
Sourdough bread sits alongside the pastry cabinet, and there's a full coffee and breakfast offering as well. You can dine in, take away, pick up in store or have it delivered. The toasties get a lot of love locally, with one regular calling the toastie the best around the Southland area. Croissants, bronuts and donuts come up often too, and the matcha latte has its fans and its critics. Staff are described as friendly and quick, and a few of the younger team members get warm mentions for their coffee and service.
Opinion is a little mixed. Some people rave about the pastries and the calm, easy atmosphere, while others have found the coffee or the sweetness of the bronuts hit and miss, and a few have felt the place winds down earlier than expected near closing. Bronuts are priced at the fancier end for a donut, so know that going in.
Access is easy: there's a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, free street parking, and cards and mobile payments are accepted. It's open daily, but check the hours before heading in, especially late in the afternoon.
