Lucien Baked Goods

BUY THE QUICHE:I just walked past this gorgeous little bakery in the heart of Parramatta. I was drawn in by the cute logo, the promise of baked goods and the bakers working with dough through the window.I bought the Quiche Lorraine that was displayed in their baked goods and a decaf cap. It was honestly THE BEST QUICHE I'VE EVER HAD!! I don't even have a photo because I ate it immediately whilst walking away. The filling was bursting with flavour, generous with the ham that was sitting in a silky savoury custard. The tart shell was buttery and extremely short. It was delicious and not the usual crust you want to throw away. On the side, they served it with a peppery capsicum chutney that complimented the flavours perfectly.The coffee was smooth, and not burnt or bitter, which seems to be hard for people to do with decaf.Lastly, the staff were nice and approachable, friendly without being over the top. The small amount of seating outside was picturesque with the light streaming through the leaves in the trees and I wish I had stayed to do my university seminar. My only regret is that I was only in Parramatta for an event and I actually live south Sydney.

First off, I'm really happy such innovative places are opening up outside of the inner west and eastern suburbs!Now to the food: we tried the seasonal plate which had a great mix of fresh and cured veggies, bread and boiled eggs. The only downer was that the team doesn't have a frying kitchen so you can't get omelettes or scrambled eggs. However, the lovely staff somehow made an exception for us (as they'd run out of smoked salmon), but I do hope they make hot items a regular menu feature.The stand out was the Persian love tart - we loved it! Coffee was nice too.

Pastries are incredible. Service could be better. One staff member was on mobile phone for 5 minutes before attending to waiting customers. Available pastries are different every day. Would be nice to see them labelled with name and price rather than having to ask what's on offer each time. Coffee is good. But do not offer skim milk.

Really lovely and friendly staff, coffee is really solid. Toilet is available and it’s very nice. Food wise, lucky enough to have an almond croissant that came straight out of the oven and it was divine. Just the perfect amount of filling that it was not too sickly. The pistachio cake was delicious and mouth watering with a soft centre and great taste. Ate in and things came out quickly and they make an effort to plate things up- the onion jam came when we ate in!

Quite possibly the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life. Wow. I also had a ham and cheese croissant and it was amazing. Friendly and courteous staff, sustainable ethics, just a fresh, homey relaxing bit filling experience. Highly recommended.

Lucien is like a little Parisian coffee place hidden in parramatta, where you can have a tasty baguette sandwich, or try the variety of croissants and breads and more important everything is fresh. It is refine an stylish. you can clearly see the imprint of its chef in very detail. Personally for me the best coffee place in Parramatta.

Love that they open at 6.30am on Tuesday to Friday. Close on Sunday and Monday. The pistachio swirl danish was delicious. Generous sprinkle of pistachios and almond filling inside. That was my favourite and must order. The strawberry choux pastry filled with cream and strawberry pieces was light and lovely. I did not like the cheese and bacon with onion relish tart. The filling was just way too soft, fell off the tart, and I thought $9 for it was too pricey. Overall, I would visit them again. The baker was friendly and passionate as seen in the quality ingredients used.

A hidden gem in Parramatta and waiting to be discovered by the foodies!Local cafe vibes in a CBD environment! Welcoming and charming interior. Great croissants and coffee, and outdoor seating available.

Located at the end of Phillip Street, very close to the Ferry, the bakery and cafe has a broad pavement and nice internal setting. Coffee is consistently excellent.Everything is made in house and it is spectacular. From the pastries, pies to the sandwiches! Lucien should be getting 6/5!

Deliciously, freshly baked pastries.Great coffee and light breakfast.Eat in or take away friendly staff
