Paris Brest Bakery

If croissants and coffee are among your favourite things, get along to Paris Brest in Palm Beach. Nestled at the base of Sable on Palm, along the Gold Coast Highway, the venue is the handiwork of Farouk Yousfi, who learned the art of perfect pastry in France. According to Farouk, the difference here is that everything is handmade with love, and a lot of French butter. The chocolate-almond croissant is undoubtedly his best-seller, with the seasoned baker struggling to keep up with demand. The croissants take upwards of three days, between the folding, proving and laminating, so it’s a constant tightrope to get the quantities right for every day. Among the selection, you’ll find rustic sourdough loaves, focaccias, danishes, pain au chocolat, and of course, Paris-brest, if you’re lucky. Behind the coffee machine, you’ll find Italy’s Dimattina on pour.
