Crust Bakery

Victoria


There are several bakeries on this stretch of Fort St, but the Crust jumps out at you first. Maybe it's the deliciousness of the aromas, or the delicate presentation, or the rich buttery-ness of the croissants, savory pastries and sweet tartlets with flavors like chocolate mousse and crème brûlée.

Arrive early for the best selection and you might even be able to squeeze onto one of the half-dozen stools to enjoy a homemade soup.
