Artisan French baker Nans Wojtczak and his team greet each dawn with a fresh-baked salute. Sydney Road’s Choukette has become a northside pit stop for those who fancy a breakfast baguette with flair.

Lunch options include a rainbow of cured-meat fillings and buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pies. Vegetarians might opt for a warm, cheesy quiche or a vegetable, Napoli sauce and tofu pastry. Everything’s created preservative-free, using fresh, traditional ingredients.

All desserts are made with fresh fruits and, if you choose wisely, imported European chocolate. The sour cherry tart is beautiful, but a special mention goes to the mille-feuille. It’s not just a vanilla slice; it’s a three-tiered, puff-pastry monster, embellished with vanilla custard between each layer and with fondant icing on top.

Enjoy it all in an authentic Parisian cafe environment, sipping on coffee and homemade hot chocolate. All goods are available for wholesale.
