Paris Brest French Bakery

Handcrafted baguettes and authentic French pastries make this Palm Beach highway bakery an essential morning stop. Expect loaves with a shattering crust and a dense, chewy crumb that commands respect, alongside fully organic sourdough. Out-of-towners from Melbourne and Brisbane routinely rank the viennoiserie among their favorites—the entire operation is Muslim-owned and fully halal-certified, right down to the savoury beef bechamel cheese croissants and croque monsieurs. For sweet plates, grab a flaky pear danish or inspect the dedicated top shelf for gluten-free tarts. Pull up an outdoor chair with a flat white, or bundle up warm baguettes to eat right in the car before heading down to the beach.
