Alpine Patisserie - Mansfield

Not sure I can call it a “hidden gem” being that it’s on the Main Street, but wow they make delicious things here! Croissant, baguette… the apricot danish! Not something I would usually order, but a local recommended it and I am so happy he did.

Simple the best in Town for great bread and cakes .U have to be quick before all gone .

A taste of Paris in Victoria's high country. The bread, the croissants, the escargots, the local honey. Our new must stop at place on the way skiing or on the way home!

I don't know how we missed this gem. I fear we will make up for it very quickly. The pear tart was delicious with a wonderful buttery crust and just a hint of sweetness accentuating the pear. The chocolate and hazelnut brownie was heaven. A beautiful combination of flavours allowed prominence by holding back on the sweetness. The coffees were good and the service friendly and efficient. As we left we grabbed a baguette. It was fantastic and as good as any other we have eaten here or in France.

The lady in there was so kind to me when she found out the my whole family work for Qantas and we didn’t know if we had work or not. My wife and I lost our jobs at Ansett too. The humility and kindness that the lady showed me was unbelievable and so appreciated.
