Contribute Feedback What Claus Gravesen likes about The Convent Bakery:
Stopped here to cheer ourselves up on the way out after an underwhelming lunch at the Japanese spot nearby. Coffee was excellent and the lemon tart was outstanding. The custard tart was also delicious old style pastry, yum although the filling could have...been a touch creamier. Service was excellent, and we also enjoyed having access to large glasses of fresh water. The outdoor seating area is a bit exposed to the w... View all feedback.
What Randy Zboncak doesn't like about The Convent Bakery:
We met with friends, visiting Melbourne, who had not been to the Abbotsford convent before. Setting great but we chose to eat at the bakery rather than Lentil as Anything. These were the only 2 options on the day. Regretfully the food was ordinary: none...of us finished anything. While it’s nice to sit outside (it was a lovely day) the pidgeons are really off putting.

I required to recharge my electric bike, the cafe owner made such a fuss over me using the power outlet in their cafe courtyard. The owner purposely placed their beer barrels in front of my bike effectively blocking me from retrieving my bike. Not a...supportive or friendly attitude, infect quite disturbing especially after buying a coffee from them in exchange of minimal electricity used ... Not anymore!
Very pleasant afternoon outing spent in the gardens of the Convent I had a salad roll and cool drink, whilst the little fella wanted a gelato Nice calm environment to slow down and smell the roses
Once you've chilled out walking the convent grounds and gardens, eat lunch at the Convent Bakery. Meat pies, salads, breads abound in creative presentation. Simple yet trendy place, nothing stodgy and low energy about it.
Wood fired oven which runs pretty much great friendly service and lovely pastries and coffee. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating and user pay parking as well as some hr free parking near by. The bakery forms part of the Abbotsford convent...art scene, however could do with a creative makeover. My coffee, chili scrambled eggs and the take away pastries were extremely yummy, well the few bites my friends left me to sample of the almond croissant and raspberry danish.
The Convent bakery is on my usual walk along the city trail along the Yarra. With dogs in tow it's a great place to stop for a coffee and breakfast or take home some wonderful bread and pastries. The fruit buns are delicious and the...muffins are moist and packed full of fruit. Make the detour to this place.
