Pretty lucky to have this about 20 metres from the doorway you'll find the best croissanterie in Melbourne. At the centre of the space is the Lune Lab – a glass cube that looks like a space station and which is climate-controlled at a perfect 18 degrees where they prepare the pastry. If you're really into croissantes you can do a tasting table - book online. Open at 8am - often with queues.
