Artisanal cakes like the Brownie Passionfruit Chocolate Gateau, known for their explosive flavors and textures.
Personalized cakes, such as Black Forest gateau, tailored to your preferences with beautiful customization.
A variety of smaller cakes and pastries, including crepes and crème brûlée, perfect for individual treats.
Solid breakfast options like Eggs Benny and Smoked Salmon Crepe, available in the morning.
Afternoon dessert service featuring rich, balanced flavors in a welcoming café setting.
I ordered a customized Black Forest gateau from them (after reading numerous positive reviews) and was impressed by its delicious taste and beautiful customization. Their service was very quick and friendly. But it might not suit those who prefer the traditional version of Black Forest. It’s most likely a mousse
Eggs Benny and Smoked Salmon Crepe. Both were solid breakfast options, can't complain. I returned later that day for an afternoon dessert of Creme brulee, which was also solid, good, not great.
My absolute first and favourite is their Brownie Passionfruit Chocolate Gateau. This place opened way back in 2007, during the same time I worked in 140 William St until 2012, so was able to sneak down to grab a tasty sweet treat now and then. It’s now 2025 and I still buy a birthday cake from them for family sometimes- The Brownie Passionfruit Chocolate Gateau, ALWAYS, along with a few of the smaller cakes. The Brownie Passionfruit Chocolate Gateau is my most favourite cake in the whole world, that I’ve ever tasted. It is a TASTE SENSATION LIKE NO OTHER! It often consumes my mind, my thoughts, the desire for this delectable delicacy is so overwhelming, my taste buds can almost taste it, those mini explosions of different flavours and textures in every delicious bite, that tastes just absolutely heavenly. YUMMY!! There other cakes are all lovely but I can’t rate this cake high enough. I’d give it 10/5 stars if that were possible. Please don’t ever stop making it and thank you to whoever imagined this creation in their mind and made it real. XO
Really feeling like something sweet and maybe a bit chocolatey so headed to RACV @LePetitGateauMelb for the black forrest: Two layers of chocolate sponge surrounding a vanilla mousse with guinette cherries all enveloped with a dark chocolate mousse, topped with vanilla Chantilly cream pebbles. One fork full and I'm in my happy place. Delicious flavours and textures. There's the soft crack of the thin tempered chocolate surrounding the bottom of the base, the smooth dark chocolate mousse giving a nice brooding flavour, the slightly sour and tart cherries, a slight alcohol kick from the Chantilly cream, the soft light sponge and the creamy vanilla mousse. Each bite is savoured as time stands still. Totally satisfying. #dessert #sweettooth #blackforrest #chocolate #sponge #mousse #cherries #Foodie #melbournefood #melbournecbd
