With hundreds of foodies waiting to sample the world-famous pastries, Sydney has finally welcomed the iconic Melbourne bakery Lune, which sells 35,000 croissants a day.
The 'ideal' croissant, as the New York Times puts it, is the creation of Melbourne-born baker Kate Reid.
After five years of waiting, the croissanterie's Sydney location finally opened for business on Saturday, December 7, in Rosebery's Engine Yards Precinct.
A Sydney branch was due to launch in August 2021, but problems on the construction site slapped the brakes on its interstate expansion.
Now, the bakery is located in a 400-square-metre warehouse where customers can see chefs crafting the croissants in real time.
A surprise second Lune location is also open inside the Martin Place metro station - with Sydneysiders already braving the stormy weather to get a taste of the croissants.
'I've never tasted a better pastry - and I've been on food tours around Europe,' a fan raved online.
'Getting to eat a Lune croissant is the only reason I wake up in the morning,' another joked.
