About Lumos Bakery

Lumos Bakery delivers serious viennoiserie to McKinnon, turning out crisp, laminated pastries and daily sourdough loaves. Regulars head straight for the twice-baked hazelnut croissant—packed generously with nut cream—and the brownie bomb, a rich chocolate brownie encased in flaky puff pastry. Everything from coffee to warm chilli-garlic twists comes in paper takeaway bags and cups, best enjoyed while watching the kitchen team roll dough through the bakery windows.

  • The Brownie Bomb: A signature hybrid encasing a fudgy, rich chocolate brownie inside flaky croissant puff pastry.
  • Twice-Baked Pastries: Generously filled, crisp double-baked hazelnut and almond croissants made fresh daily.
  • Daily Artisan Breads: Fresh artisanal sourdough loaves, baguettes, and specialty breads baked daily for morning takeaway.

Why Choose Lumos Bakery

Discover why McKinnon locals and pastry lovers travel for Lumos Bakery's craft pastries, artisanal breads, and genuine hospitality.

  • Decadent signature hybrid pastries

    Lumos creates signature laminated creations like the Brownie Bomb—a rich, gooey chocolate brownie encased in crisp, buttery pastry—as well as intensely filled twice-baked hazelnut croissants.

    A heavenly combination of gooey brownie inside a housemade flakey pastry—each component already great by itself, but even better together!

  • Flawless lamination and generous fillings

    Generously sized and double-baked, pastries like the almond and hazelnut croissants deliver exceptional lamination, crisp crunch, and lush fillings that rival destination bakeries.

    It was perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside and packed with delicious almond filling.

  • Artisan sourdoughs and daily fresh bread

    Bakers craft sourdough loaves, seeded boules, and fresh daily baguettes with robust crusts and distinct crumb texture for daily household staples.

    We love their olive bread and sourdough. Hands down the best bread around.

  • Open kitchen view into active baking

    Guests get a firsthand view of artisan pastry production through dedicated windows opening right into the back-of-house bakery kitchen.

    I love the windows to the work horse kitchen at the back too

  • Genuine care and personal connection

    The owners and front-of-house team provide attentive, heartfelt hospitality that turns casual visitors into recognized, valued regulars.

    One of few places you'll never feel like 'just' another customer.

  • A welcoming neighborhood community hub

    Warm greetings and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere invite guests to feel right at home and share in the family-run warmth.

    The amazing pastries are one thing…but the feeling of community in everything they do is what keeps me coming back.

Artisanal viennoiserie and daily baked sourdough loaves that define the Lumos experience

  • Brownie Bomb

    Brownie bomb - a brownie encased in flaky puff croissant pastry - an interesting spin of the pain au chocolat - highly recommended if you love pain au chocolat and brownies!

  • Double-Baked Hazelnut Croissant

    I tried the double-baked hazelnut croissant, and it was absolute heaven. While $9 might seem a bit steep, the size was generous and the quality made it worth every cent. The texture and flavor were spot on.

  • Almond Croissant

    As a self proclaimed croissant addict, I can confidently say the almond croissant here is the best I’ve had in Melbourne 100/10. It was perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside and packed with delicious almond filling.

  • Sourdough Bread

    I love this place and am so lucky it’s our local as their bread is amazing! We love their olive bread and sourdough. Hands down the best bread around.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the must-order pastries and baked goods?

Customer favourites include the double-baked hazelnut croissant, the almond croissant packed with frangipane, and the signature Brownie Bomb—a rich brownie baked inside flaky croissant pastry. Savoury options like sausage rolls, baguettes, and twists are also available.

Can you dine in, and how is the food served?

Yes, there is dine-in seating available, including a long communal table, though food and drinks are served in takeaway cups, paper bags, or boxes rather than ceramic tableware and plates.

Do pastries and bread sell out early?

Popular daily breads and specialty pastries can sell out early, and lines often form quickly in the morning, so arriving early is recommended to secure the full selection.
