It’s not Easter without ’s cult-favourite Hot Cross Doughnut.

Back for the season, this year’s version comes with a fig-inspired twist. Made fresh each morning at the Fitzroy Laboratorio, the hot cross bun-flavoured doughnut is filled with custard on one side and fig on the other, then topped with almond gelato and spiced caramel sauce.

Alongside it, Pidapipo’s Cioccolato Easter collection also returns. Think handcrafted chocolate eggs made with single-origin cacao, wrapped in bespoke packaging designed by Studio Ongarato, plus the brand’s much-loved praline-filled chocolate tins, all produced in-house at the Fitzroy Laboratorio.

Available for a limited time across Pidapipo stores this Easter. Consider your Easter sweet fix sorted.

You know Easter is around the corner when drop their hot cross buns.

This year, their much-loved traditional and sour cherry & chocolate buns are back. Made with Baker Bleu’s soft, deeply flavoured dough, the traditional bun is spiced with cinnamon and ginger, folded with Australian raisins and fresh orange, while the sour cherry & chocolate pairs bright cherries with 64% dark chocolate and warm spices.

Baked fresh daily, the buns are available individually in store or in six-packs online, housed in custom Easter packaging designed with Melbourne studio Atolon.

Alongside the buns, Baker Bleu has also introduced a limited run of Easter specials. The Iced Hot Cross Bun Latte combines iced Market Lane batch brew with raisin, cinnamon and orange cream, while the Iced Cherry Chocolate blends Hunted + Gathered chocolate with cherry coulis and milk. South Yarra is also serving a Hot Cross Bun Soft Serve topped with spiced crumble, salted caramel and candied orange.

Hot cross bun season has officially arrived 🍞

.etc is heading to the Peninsula!

The modern neighbourhood market will open its second location at 26 Ranelagh Drive, Mount Eliza later this month, bringing great bread, coffee and curated provisions to the area.

Led by Mount Martha local Natalie Osborne, formerly of Piccolo in Prahran and Mister Zen in South Yarra, the store has been shaped around a thoughtful approach to bread, coffee and everyday essentials.

Building on the foundation of the Malvern East store, Breadcetera Mount Eliza is designed as a reliable daily stop-in, with premium pantry staples, ready-to-eat food and a considered edit of homewares and gifts.

Not quite a café and not quite a supermarket. A modern market made for the neighbourhood. See you in Mount Eliza.
