Madeleine de Proust Patisserie

Skip the usual Lygon Street cannoli crawl. The real flex right now? A luminous little pastry counter turning the classic petit four on its absolute head. Those tracking Carlton's dessert circuit are making a swift beeline for these scallop-shaped beauties—and for good reason. Soft, fragrant, and baked on-site. But this isn't just traditional baking. Think brilliant, niche flavour crossovers—earthy matcha berry, vibrant ube coconut, and aromatic pandan. Impeccably textured and never cloying. Grab a delicate Earl Grey madeleine and a coffee for a quick hit, or curate a stunning box to go. The packaging? Pure luxury. Word to the wise: they sell out fast. Don't linger. Get in early before that beautiful display empties out.
