A Note From Us

Tiny pleasures, made with real butter and a lot of patience.

Camille trained in Lyon and opened Petal on Erskineville Road in 2022 with one oven and one mixer. Three years on, the oven has multiplied, the mixers have too, and the queue starts at 7am most Saturdays.

Today's Pastries

Made this morning.

Daily

Strawberry tartelette

Sablé breton, vanilla cream, the season's strawberries from Pyrenees Farm, a brush of warm apricot glaze.

Daily

Almond croissant

Twice-baked croissant filled with frangipane and slow-toasted almonds. Best eaten warm with a long black.

Weekly

Lavender éclair

Choux pastry filled with lavender crème pâtissière, dipped in a soft lilac glaze. Made on Fridays only.

Sat & Sun

Buttermilk pancakes

A small stack on weekend mornings with maple butter, candied pecans and a curl of crème fraîche.

Daily

Peach & rose religieuse

Two stacked choux puffs filled with white peach and rose-water cream, finished with a tiny pearl of glaze.

Daily

Hazelnut paris-brest

Ring of choux pastry filled with brown-butter praliné cream and a scatter of caramelised hazelnut.

The Bakery

A tiny shop on Erskineville Road.

Twelve seats, a marble counter, a record player that mostly plays French jazz, and a window that looks straight onto the street.

Camille is here every morning from 5am. The croissants come out at 7. The éclairs come out at 9. The queue is gone by 11.
