Second morning in Melbourne, we woke up early and took a stroll down Little Collins Street to no other than our favourite croissanterie in the nation, Lune. Having been to its flagship at Fitzroy with Iron Fist, I was so excited at the prospect of their cbd store, which meant that we didn't have to navigate parking in narrow laneways, but could just stroll down from our Airbnb.
The menu was similar to their main store, with a smaller range of only five croissants to choose from and a small selection of coffees. The vibe was still futuristic and a bit like a space laboratory, but seating was vastly different. Built for speed and volume, there were no seats but a small array of standing spots at tall benches.
We were served very promptly, and it didn't take long for us to decide what we wanted.
It took a while but we found space in a corner to call our own. Food came to us shortly after. We had three croisssants to share, he picked a lemon curd, I a ham and cheese and we both had half of the original. Without having an individual photo oft the original, it was unbelievably flakey with crisp delicate layers, just as I had remembered from their Fitzroy store.
My ham and cheese were wonderfully balanced with just the right amount of fillings. The cheese was melty and gooey, while the ham had a good thickness to it without being overbearing. Again the croissant was flakey, but this time imbued with oils from both toppings. A wonderful start to the day.
Taking a small bite of his lemon curd, it was definitely sour, with a good amount of sugar to balance it out. He really enjoyed it.
Coffees we ordered were fairly simple there was merely a black of a white option. Black was filtered coffee, an excellent strong brew without unnecessary distractions. White was a flat white which came with a cute love heart on top. It was very strong and had remarkably low acidity, something I really do appreciate.
