The French Lettuce Patisserie & Bakery

Amazingly talented patisserie chefs! Friendliest most hard working people around! Thanks for the amazing sweets!

Love all your cakes and pastries. Not overly sweet which I like! The chocolate ganache is so yum!!! Friendly staff as well

We attended a 60th birthday dinner last night and tried the lovely chocolate sponge with fresh cream and strawberries. This is a simple classic done well and whilst I’m not typically a fan of sponge this was really light and quite a good option after a large banquet style dinner. Note the ten inch size is HUGE<br/ <br/ Original review<br/ Mum would have her birthday cake from non other than The French Lettuce. A simple coles muddy wouldn’t do for mumsy she had to have a $140 chocolate mud creation complete with toffee shard. As I had outlaid so much for said cake I thought screw the calories I’m having a huge slice and it was suitably divine. I had to pre order this cake and once I was finally able to get them on the phone (called about ten times with no answer, I guess they are super popular) they were extremely helpful. Such a decadent option for a special occasion cake and so many more lovelies available instore for smaller treats

The French Lettuce has the reputation for having the best vanilla slice in Melbourne, so I had to check it out. This is definitely more of a patisserie set up, with a few tables if you wish to sit in. Service was OK, but it was busy with a lot of takeaways at the same time. The staff still seemed friendly though.<br/ <br/ The standout here is the food. There is a beautiful choice of cakes and pastries, and sure enough, the vanilla slice was excellent. I'm not sure that it's the best I've ever had, but it was still delicious with a really creamy custard filling, and nice flaky pastry. Coffee was also good, but the pastries are easily the star here. It's not a bad place to come to get some delicious treats, especially if you are taking away.

Easily the best vanilla slice in Melbourne, I cannot get enough of their magical vanilla custard, it's very consistent with the flavour every time I've been there, tastes exactly the same!<br/ <br/ Pies are very good also and the sausage rolls are great, can't fault this place.
