Pigeon Whole Bakery

Popular bakery in the middle of the city. Lined up first thing in the morning for breakfast. Staff were friendly and got through orders pretty quickly. I got myself a double shot piccolo coffee, a ham bagel and an almond croissant. The coffee was alright, a little watery for my liking but had a strong taste to it. The ham bagel was a bit disappointing, the dough was a bit tough and chewy, the thing that saved it was the pickles. The almond croissant was the best thing I got, it was still warm when I had it and was really delicious. A little too sweet for my liking but not to take away how good it was. For anyone looking to get breakfast for cheap, this is not the place for you. The three items cost $19.50. please look at the price and not think with your stomach like me! Overall, a good breakfast. I love how they serve your coffee through a hole in the wall after ordering, staying true to their name.

One of the better croissants I've tried, would recommend. Moist and good consistency to the crust across the whole croissant. Enough structure to the crumb to maintain its shape as well. Great contrast overall.The flavour is prominent, some complexity and it makes you appreciate what you are eating. Its certainly on the sweet side for a croissant. Wouldn't return for the plain sourdough: Initially pleasant and a nice tang but its lacking complexity or depth reminds me a lot of bakers delight sourdough. Almost getting a bit dry too. Well utilized space, seems like it would be a nice place to work overlooking all the shop floor and street. Hard to tell with covid but seems to be lacking any space inside or outside to sit and enjoy your food. The shop front mostly has an industrial feeling with the busy street, sidewalk and driveway entrance right next door.

Premium bakery in the middle of the city - lots of fresh bakery treats, mostly sweet, to choose from. Prices are on the high side, but the quality is worth the price. Make sure to ask what the current filled doughnut is, they change it regularly and often have brilliantly unusual options like lemon and thyme.

Great bakery and coffee place with a delicious selection of sweets and amazing bread. You can also see the work of the bakery trough the windows behind the counter where you can see how they create there fresh and yummy breads. Ps: they also sell Market Lane coffee in bags at the counter it is one of the best coffee rosters in Melbourne.
