Frenchwoman Agathe Kerr admits that her Earl Grey or coffee croissants at Melbourne’s Agathe Patisserie would be a little too bold in her home country,where she trained. But moving to Australia exposed her to flavours she’d never had before,such as pandan andmatcha,sparking a creative chapter in her viennoiserie.

In 2017,following the success of her famed South Melbourne Market croissant stall,Kerr opened a spin-off inside a tiny Royal Arcade kiosk in the CBD. Now,the second outpost has moved a few doors down into a bigger space within the arcade (shop 43) to cater to demand and offer a wider variety of products.

In addition to croissants (of the plain,pain au chocolat,escargot,pandan and almond varieties),you’ll also find pastries and sweets like flan,canneles,madeleines,assorted danishes and more.
