Mulots Patisserie

Mulots Patisserie brings a long-established French baking tradition to Adelaide. Annette and Andre have run the business since 1985, building it around apprenticeship-based techniques from France and a commitment to handcrafted cakes and pastries. The patisserie is on King William Road in Hyde Park and is also listed in the Unley area, making it a destination for locals seeking French-style sweet and savoury baking.

The range includes individually made cakes, homemade macaroons, fruit tarts and quiches prepared with seasonal produce. Mulots also makes all-natural ice cream and sorbet, while its drinks selection includes traditional French beverages imported from France. The website’s gallery gives an overview of the sweet and savoury products available in store, so the offering extends beyond a single speciality and changes with the range on display.

For a particularly distinctive centrepiece, the patisserie makes croquembouche: a pyramid of choux pastry puffs filled with homemade custard and finished with toffee. Although traditionally associated with French weddings, Mulots says it can be arranged for other special occasions as well. The business also provides catering for weddings, christenings, anniversaries, dinner parties and formal gatherings, with individual needs accommodated where possible.

Mulots offers more than takeaway pastries, with public French patisserie courses led by Andre and places limited to one available class. That makes it relevant both to people who want to choose from a carefully made range and to those interested in learning more about French pastry techniques. Its event catering suits hosts planning a formal gathering or celebration, while the individual cakes, tarts, savoury baking and French drinks offer plenty of choice for a solo visit or a shared stop. The patisserie also appears at the Wayville Farmers Market every Sunday, giving customers another way to find its products around Adelaide.
