BRIOCHE BY PHILIP

During our adventure whilst trying to find our way to our apartment in South Yarra, we came across this trendy French bakery Brioche by Philip. I don't think I've come across a bakery that oozed with such sass. It looked effortless and just plain cool with its floor to ceiling glass walls. We placed our suit cases aside and picked out some goodies which ranged from different bakes of loafed breads and pastries. Since bread is one of my many addictions, it was like being in a candy store. I just didn't know where to look.

Brioche by Philip offers everything from bread, pastries, coffees, sandwiches and hot soups. Since we arrived on a particularly cold day we should have tried their soups but unfortunately gave it a miss but hopefully next time round.

Walnut, Cranberry and White chocolate:

Three combinations that go really well together. I loved the scone doughy texture mixed with the sweet and sour flavors from the Cranberries and white chocolate. I could easily have a dozen of these. 

Vanilla sugar Brioche:

A small round sugary brioche (well the size of my hand) was delightfully addictive. It had a soft chewy texture and a lovely vanilla after taste. 

Almond and Caramel Bronut:

The Bronut is basically the same as the Cronuts which are croissant-doughnut pastry goodness. This Bronut was covered in caramel and topped with a mountain load of slithered almonds. This would definitely be my favorite out of the three.
