You might think you've stumbled into a pantry cupboard rather than a shop, but this little space is a treasure trove of French-inspired bread and patisserie, with a huge commitment to quality.

The name clues you in - it's a quintessentially French baker's measure of fine almond meal and icing sugar. The shop itself meets the highest expectations, with all the things we love about artisan bakers: racks of fresh loaves and baguettes, and a glass counter full of impossibly elegant little tarts and desserts.

Add all those sugary, spicy smells to the rich aroma of great coffee from local roaster Oomph and you've got sensory heaven.

You'll have to be quicker than the Launceston locals to nab one of the small number of tables in time for a cooked breakfast or light lunch. Or take your time, saunter in and load with little boxes of goodies to be consumed in your own place.
