About Us
At Almost French, we bring a taste of Paris to the heart of Melbourne.
What started as a passion for traditional French baking has become a daily ritual for locals looking for quality, comfort, and a little indulgence.
Our team of bakers rise early every morning to craft fresh pastries, sourdough, desserts, and custom cakes—by hand, with care, and always with real ingredients.
We’re here seven days a week serving up the classics, experimenting with new creations, and sharing our love of French patisserie with Melbourne.
Led by our founder Alex, we combine years of experience with a love of creativity and great food.
