Laurent is well-known for its cakes, however I just like coming to the Little Collins boulangerie-patisserie as the Parisian style building is romantically located in the small streets (or 'walks') in the city which I always enjoy walking through.

Comments:
It's been a long time since I had one of these - for those custard lovers, vanilla slice's are like the Australian version of the french mille feuille except it has a big thick slab of custard in between. The version offered at The French Lettuce is a very 'fine' one topped with icing sugar since - I guess since this is more of a 'French' patisserie. Although the ones offered at local bakeries & cake shops are good too if you prefer the thicker solid icing sugar on the top which is very sweet.
Vanilla slices at $5 is not relatively cheap, however the sizes are more like a small 'slab' rather than the average size of cake slice.
