About Choukette

Brunswick’s benchmark for old-school Parisian baking on Sydney Road. Behind the vintage frontage, aromas of butter and sugar drift through snug dining rooms fitted with leather booths. Regulars steer newcomers toward the sour cherry tart for its sharp fruit bite, while the lunch counter zeroes in on the croque monsieur blanketed in béchamel. Trays cycle quickly from the kitchen—golden duck à l’orange pies, daily quiches, and gluten-free chocolate entremets alongside steady pulls of long blacks.

  • Classic French Patisserie: Classic French recipes baked on site daily, spanning crisp fruit tarts, buttery croissants, and seasonal Galette des Rois.
  • Savory Pies & Classics: House favorites include the rich Croque Monsieur with béchamel alongside hearty duck à l’orange pies and daily quiches.
  • Gluten-Free Treats: Coeliac-friendly cakes and intricate entremets made without gluten, headlined by the chocolate Royal.
  • Vintage Parisian Atmosphere: Old-world charm tucked into small dining rooms with leather booths and sidewalk tables overlooking Sydney Road.

Why Choukette Stands Out on Sydney Road

From buttery morning viennoiserie to classic savory lunches, experience Brunswick's quintessential Parisian pitstop—reserve your table now.

  • True Parisian Pâtisserie Made Fresh Daily

    Bakers craft traditional French pastries from scratch every morning, matching the genuine taste, flakiness, and technique found across Parisian bakeries.

    All the pastries are homemade & fresh from the day, and they taste exactly like in France.

  • Nostalgic Art Nouveau Dining Rooms

    Cozy leather booths and vintage decor create an intimate Parisian salon atmosphere filled with the comforting aroma of warm butter and caramelized sugar.

  • The Essential Sydney Road Shopping Break

    Positioned right along Brunswick's bustling retail strip, the café offers an ideal pitstop to recharge over espresso and handmade pastries.

    Popped into refuel for an epic shopping adventure at Savers.

  • Sidewalk Tables for Brunswick People-Watching

    Street-side seating lets guests take in the energetic rhythm of Sydney Road while lingering over a morning coffee or afternoon treat.

    Seating outside is a delight, watching Sydney Road pass you by while sipping and doing the crossword is a life affirming experience.

  • Dedicated Gluten-Free French Treats

    Unlike bakeries limited to traditional wheat flour viennoiserie, Choukette crafts delicate, authentic French entremets tailored for gluten-free diets.

    Some gluten free cake options too! (As pictured the "Royal")

  • Extensive Scratch-Made Savoury Selection

    Beyond sweet pastries, the kitchen prepares a wide variety of flaky quiches and hearty savory pies baked fresh in-house daily.

    All homemade daily. 5 quiche flavours and they taste sensational.

  • Croissant

    The croissants were absolutely to die for; golden, flaky, and rich with a buttery aroma that offered a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.

  • Duck à l'Orange Pie

    duck a l'orange pie which was packed full of tender duck, the citrus complements the duck and topped off with a tomato relish to balance the meatiness.

Other favorites

From custard-filled choux pastries to layered mousse entremets and classic espresso, here is what else to explore in the display case.

  • Choukette

    The choukette is a choux pastry but I chose one filled with vanilla custard which is so yum!

  • Summer Delight

    I particularly liked the summer delight, a soft airy strawberry mousse layer atop a thin sponge, then a passionfruit mousse layer and then sponge.

  • Choc Almond Cookie

    We had 2 lattes, the choukette and a choc almond cookie, which was delicious.

    Long blacks are served with thoughtful consideration, arriving alongside a side of hot water and milk so guests can tailor their beverage to taste.

  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Pâtisserie

    Coeliac and gluten-conscious visitors are treated to high-end French patisserie, featuring delicate macarons and dedicated specialty cakes like the 'Royal'.

  • Seasonal French Epiphany Traditions

    Upholding genuine French festive customs, the kitchen bakes traditional Galette des Rois each Epiphany for patrons celebrating at home and work.

  • Local Barista Recommendations

    Brunswick community spirit shines through at the counter, where chatty baristas gladly trade local band and live music recommendations.

  • Explore Gluten-Free French Treats

    Coeliac visitors and gluten-conscious diners do not have to settle for missing out; check the glass case for dedicated gluten-free options like the "Royal" chocolate cake and fresh macarons.

  • Time Your Seat or Head Sidewalk-Side

    With limited indoor capacity across a couple of small dining rooms, vintage booth seats fill quickly; when space is tight inside, opt for sidewalk tables or the front window bar for relaxed Sydney Road people-watching.

  • Order Directly and Plan for Specialties

    Order directly at the display counter to bypass table order mix-ups during busy rushes, and keep in mind seasonal scratch bakes like the Galette des Rois are best arranged ahead. Book your visit now to lock in a table for your Parisian feast.
