Lune Croissanterie
No list of the best croissants in Brisbane would be complete without Lune Croissanterie. Famous for its crescent-shaped morsels of goodness, Lune is also well known for its almond croissant, topped with a perfect spine of flaked almonds.
Celebrating the creation, complexity and ultimate enjoyment of a croissant, Lune has Brisbanites in such a chokehold that you’ll find lines out the door each morning.
Releasing new flavours each month, this bakery takes pastry creativity to a whole new level with the Lune Lab degustation experience, a three-course set menu that begins with the signature croissant.
Sitchu Tip: If you visit Lune Lab, try dipping your croissant in champagne, as the French do!
