Lune Croissanterie is still planning to open a shop in Sydney after all. Stay tuned, Darlinghurst! This sensational croissanterie may be coming your way soon.
Lune Croissanterie in Sydney?
Plans for a Sydney store have been teased as early as 2020 and many have wondered what has happened since then.
The Sydney expansion had been stalled due to the pandemic and the originally planned location had been scrapped.
However, Sydney-siders are up for a treat in the not so distant future, as a Darlinghurst location is set to open for the popular croissanterie in early 2023.
Architecture and design firm Ewert Leaf, who was responsible for the Burnett Lane store’s look, will also be designing the Darlinghurst store. This early, it promises to be very a unique look for a special location.
‘World’s Best Croissants’ Are Made in Australia
A decade ago, former Formula One aerodynamicist Kate Reid together with her brother Cameron and restaurateur Nathan Toleman introduced Lune to Melbourne locals serving up their flaky, buttery pastries. Not long after, these baked goodies have been so much sought after that they even caught the attention of The New York Times in 2016 who can’t help but wonder if the world’s best croissant is made in Australia.
With all that success, expansion has been inevitable. And so in early August 2021, Lune Croissanterie opened its flagship store in South Brisbane with another store already set to open on Burnett Lane in July this year.
Back in Victoria, Fitzroy and Melbourne CBD shops constantly face early sell-outs forcing Lune to reduce its product range and concentrate on the classic range to allow the stores to stay open just a little longer. And to ease the pressure on these two locations, plans for an Armadale location have recently been announced.
“Friends south of the river, we know you’ve been dark on us ever since we packed up shop, crossed the Yarra and moved to Fitzroy. How about if we told you we were coming back? VERY SOON. Before the winter is out, the leafy streets of Armadale will have a buttery breeze care of Lune!!,” Lune’s social media post reads.
