Adriano Zumbo Patisserie

Do yourself a favour & visit Zumbo’s! I’ve been meaning to visit Zumbo’s for a very long time. Today, just by chance, I walked by & couldn’t resist! Inside it’s a glorious place, filled with coloured treats in glass cabinets & mirrored walls & ceiling. It was quiet inside & received prompt service & a super quick takeaway coffee. The macarons were to die for

If you have a sweet tooth you need to pay this place a visit.
From macarons with wacky flavours that are constantly rotating to flaky pastries.
Don’t worry if you like cakes there is the famous v8 that is a must try.
Try to go early in the day though, they do sell out

Always a treat heading into South Yarra so many good sweet dessert places around, but just had to make a stop in here and buy some amazing macarons.
The flavours are incredible and there were some new ones and some old classic favourites too.
We got a box of 12 and we chose fairy bread, salted caramel, V8 vanilla, red skin, pancake/​maple syrup, nutella, malted milkshake, toasted marshmallow & a hot cross bun flavoured one.
The red skin was surprisingly delicious but nothing can top the salted caramel.

Not just your normal macaron flavours, always something a bit different — but of course delicious. The redskin flavour will bring back childhood memories, tastes just like the lolly.

I loveeeeeeee zumbo. When he only had stores in sydney i use to pay the store a visit everytime i was up in sydney. Now that he has stores in melbourne this is the best thing ever. I’ve tried plenty of desserts made by him but my all time favourite is his new nutella box dessert. Soooo good. Chocolate goodness. Not overly sweet and his desserts always look perfect. The interior is super funky and heaps of cakes and mini desserts on display. One cool shop to check out. Give it 2 thumbs up.

Get the zonut! (Croissant + Donut) It runs out by 10/​11am each day. Different flavor everyday.

OMG!
Cake heaven!
The passion fruit tarte and the lemon merengue are to die for and let’s not even start on the Zumbarons! I tried salted butter popcorn and salted butter caramel — delicious!
They have several sizes of the cakes and quite a good selection of Zumbarons.
There are also some savoury options, though I confess, I paid little attention to them…
Location isn’t the best, there is a train close by.
I’d add a few more tables, though going home to eat wasn’t a bad idea, parking is super expensive in Australia!
Recommend for all the sweets and pastries lovers!

Yum yum! Bought some macarons which I brought to work, let’s just say everybody was happy!
They have a lot of different flavours and their cakes look amazing!
It is a bit pricey though — hence not the 5 stars.
You can also get a coffee there and they have a sitting area so that’s nice!

I am glad to see Adriano zumbo’s shop in Melbourne. Since visiting his shop in rozelle Sydney years ago, Zumbaroons have been on our must buy souvenirs to take back to Melbourne.
Now that we have him in Melbourne, the pressure isn’t as great and zumbo cravings can be filled just a short drive away. Great location, being nearby to other amazing dessert dealers. South Yarra is really dessert addict heaven.
I’ve visited this particular shop about 2 times now. Missing out on almost everything on my first visit (but did manage to try the passion fruit tart and lemon meringue tart) and the second visit I decided to jump on the V8 Masterchef bandwagon (I’m only about 2 – 3 years late).
I have my eye on the carrot cake, and red velvet for when we next visit as everything else have been tasty and beautiful.
Zumbaroons wise, well we all know they are great although i don’t know about you, but I am feeling that the macarons game has changed now and there are so many yummy and delicious new ones around. I am not too fussed anymore about them hahaha.
There are just so much on offer here, you can’t just make one visit. I’m sure we will be back to try something new next time :)

The cakes are awesome but the service is often slow and the staff seem to be constantly under the pump. Parking is always a challenge as well. If you can persist through the inconvenience it’s worth the effort.

I could walk into this store and be satisfied by just looking at the delicately crafted sweets and cakes they have on display. It’s really a vibrant art gallery of sweets that are incredibly unique — I almost don’t want to eat it because it’s too pretty!
I am a fan but I don’t see me going there often as it’s become one of those ‘rare’ places I’ll go if I want to get someone a nice dessert. Plus, the location is a bit random and it’s not somewhere to sit and hang out with friends.

This joint is a spectacle in sweet. Enormous glass doors deliver you into a sugar set-​design so well visually spun, you’ll swear you are on telly. And that’s the effect, it seems, patrons were expecting as entire families ordered the (deservedly) famous macarons and smiled at the servers, almost invisible behind spot lighting of little jewel box treats, as though they were contestants on MasterChef.
You come here to look but also briefly enjoy the sense of being yourself a spectacle. But, you also come for insanely expensive but quite wonderful treats. The man can cook and produce dozens of top notch pastry cooks. I suspect dainty cakes are the thing as the croissants and bread were marvellous but not exceptional.

A sweet lovers dream come true! With a range of cakes, macarons and pastries to choose from, there’s bound to be something for anyone with a sweet tooth!
I’ve been here a couple of times but have always missed out on the famed zonuts… Until today! These babies are every bit as decadent and delicious as promised. Fluffy donut pastry encrusting creamy yet light custard… These would be hard to say no to!
Zumbo’s South Yarra store serves up a feast for the eyes as much as a feast for the sweet tooth. We were greeted with brightly lit refrigerated pastry shelves, housing a whole host of colourful cake selections, and an equally attractive shelf of zumbarons. The pastry shelf, with less colour, was every bit as attractive!
The flavours on display are just as unusual and enticing as the visual displays. Can’t wait to be back for more!

Beautifully crafted pieces of sugary delight that are just as delicious as they are to admire. I was in charge of getting cake for mum’s birthday and had not as yet tried zumbo’s. I went online and placed the order and waited in anticipation to try the amazing creation.
Walking into the south yarra store I wasn’t quite prepared for the visual feast. A cabinet full of cakes, pastries and of course zumborons and zonuts. I didn’t know where to look first all I knew was I wanted all the cake. I resisted the urge to buy sometihing then and there picked up my cake and went back to the car. Apparently this was not acceptable. My companion unable to wait for cake rushed back in to pick up 2 zumborons and a zonut.
Oh and my am I glad he did. The zumborons were heavenly pillows of goodness. So rich and buttery some of the best I’ve had. The zonut though was on a whole other level of sugary indulgence. Biting into the sweet buttery pastry the chocolatey cream oozed out of the center. This was heaven.
Possibly on my way to a sugar coma we finally had the piece de resistance the dr for cake. This was heavenly. Chocolate biscuit base, white nougat layer, roasted cacao nib crème brûlée, raspberry vinegar jelly, gianduia mousse and chocolate ganache to cover the creation.
Each layer was more divine than the last and well worth the $ 45. The 6inch cake fed 10 with enough leftovers for and 5.
I’m sure this won’t be my last visit.

There was so much buzz about Zumbo’s when it opened. I remember people lining up just to get a glimpse inside but now the hype has died down and there’s been no significant queues the last few times I’ve visited. The neon sign beams bright still and I love the glass window overlooking the kitchen, as a novelty point.
If you’re a fan of sweets and crazy flavour combinations, you’ll enjoy it here. There’s almost more macaron ($ 2.50) flavours than you can imagine — think salted buttered caramel on toast. Very creative but sometimes the classics work for a reason! I’ve always just popped in here, made a purchase and left. There’s minimal seating here, just a few futuristic marshmallow-​style lounges (perhaps better to be seen than my descriptive attempts). I recommend to take your treats to-​go and enjoy at home.
P. S. Birthday cakes! If you’re not a superstar in the kitchen, there are some very good alternatives here. This year, we celebrated my mum’s milestone birthday with a carrot cake from here — delicious!

loved my macaroons! Couldn’t get enough of them! But our cakes weren’t nearly as good as I had expected, especially compared to Zumbo’s dessert train in Sydney. The lack of seating also made the experience a little lacklustre! I mean surely they’d expect to be busy when choosing a location and seating arrangements!

I think if you love sweets and confection, you should definitely NOT MISS this place.
The macarons are amazing! I had the salted caramel and popcorn flavours.
Everything else looks amazing, but I didn’t try it all.
The space is very sexy and swanky. Love the neon pink sign.

The store is impressive with a large array of cakes and sweets to choose from however it didn’t blow my mind in terms of flavour. I chose a variety of macarons, the only ones to impress where the musk and marshmellow — the others I weren’t really a fan of and the iced bun flavour I definitely wouldn’t get again: everyone that tried it choked on the bits on the outside of the filling. They’re pricey for their size but I guess you’re really paying for the name. There isn’t sufficient seating — only a bench inside which doesn’t cater to the patisserie’s popularity. It would be nice to sit in and enjoy a sweet accompanied with a coffee. I’d go back here but only if my friends wanted to — it’s not somewhere that stood out to me in terms of macarons. Might try a zonut next time!

If you’re into whimsical treats that will blow your mind (and tastebuds), you’ve come to the right place. Sugar and confectionary coupled with neon lights and mirrors, this place looks like Willy Wonka’s wet dream.
So most of the people who come here would probably get a donut (cronut) or the macarons. I’m going to go out on a limb and recommend you get the Passionfruit Tart. That tart is what inspired Michelangelo to sculpt David, Mondrian to draw his Squares, Picasso to draw naked women in triangles, and Andy Warhol to see the world in Instagram Filters. Yes, it’s crack, and you should definitely buy as many as you can.
Service was meh, but for cakes that taste like that, I’m willing to overlook that employee with a bad attitude.

Not sure about giving Zumbo full marks just yet, as a lot had sold out, but his macarons sure were creative and delicious.
We arrived around 2pm~ to find that the line had died down a little, however all of Zumbo’s other creative non-​macaron accomplishments seemed to have sold out! So we drowned our sorrows in every macaron flavour available (13+, including interesting ones such as buttered popcorn, wasabi green tea, sticky date etc), and made a day of it.
Overall it was surprisingly well priced ($ 2.50 a macaron, cakes starting around $ 50), so we were still left happy despite missing out on his other creations.
