About Laurent Bakery Hawthorn
If you're after a French-style bakery on the Glenferrie Road strip, Laurent Bakery Hawthorn is a familiar stop in Hawthorn, Victoria. The shop is known for handcrafted pastries and patisserie, plus authentic French breads. The sourdough Levain range comes from a starter created over 25 years ago.
Pastry is what people talk about most. Croissants get a good word (plain and fresh is the way to go), as does the berry danish, and the citrus tart with its tangy curd. The mousse cakes are a favourite too, and we hear custom cakes ordered ahead have come out rich, smooth and not too sweet. The staff is friendly, and one local was glad they swapped a mistaken order without fuss. The iced chocolate has its fans as well.
It's a proper dine-in cafe with coffee and breakfast, and you can also grab takeaway, pick up in store or have things delivered. They do catering too. Free street parking nearby and a wheelchair-accessible entrance make it easy to drop in.
It can get a little chaotic when it's busy, and one local would like to see more gluten free cakes. Opening hours cover the whole week, but check before you head in if you're planning around a specific time.
