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!
Faa Papon 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.
Pamela Alex 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.
Danielle Goldin 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
CPSVS Pillay 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.
David Cao 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.

Arthur Lim 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.
Jenny Sanchez-Montano (Jenny) 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.
Pamela Alex 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.

Before you head over
Practical planning tips for ordering, packaging, and timing your bakery visit
Arrive Early for the Best Selection
Daily sourdough loaves and pastries tend to sell out early, and peak morning rushes can get bustling—arrive early in the day to secure your choice of baked goods.
Expect Takeaway-Style Packaging
All orders, including dine-in coffee and pastries, are served in takeaway cups, paper bags, and boxes rather than ceramic cups or plates.
Call Ahead to Hold Popular Pastries
If you have your heart set on high-demand items like the twice-baked hazelnut croissant, consider calling ahead to ask staff to reserve them for your pickup.
