Much-loved bakery Austro has swappedSouth Melbourne for North Melbourne,in the inner northwest,as owners Sally Roxon and Christian Gattermayr focus on wholesale. The no-frills Lothian Street shopfront,open Friday and Saturday only from 8am to 1pm,sells laminated pastries galore,from the typical (buttery croissants) to the not-so-typical (pastries with soft white cheese and Turkish pickles),plus focaccia.

Signature item:“My current favourite is karpatka ($9.50),” says Roxon. “It’s a Polish cake ... commonly referred to as an eclair cake,as it consists of two layers of choux pastry filled with plum jam and stiff,whipped mousseline creme.”
