Share
Welcome to Neighbourhood Series by food.and.grace, where she eats, explores, and discovers everything Carlisle Street has to offer.
Episode 5 of the Carlisle Street Neighbourhood Series combines two of the pleasures of exploring Balaclava: stopping for something sweet and discovering something unexpected in a local shop.
Join food.and.grace as she visits Dana Patisserie, a family-run bakery known for its French-inspired treats, before heading to The Antique Silver Co., a long-established retailer offering everything from sterling silver and jewellery to antiques and gifts.
Dana Patisserie – French-Inspired Pastries & Sweet Treats
Dana Patisserie is a family-run bakery on Carlisle Street that has been serving the local community since 2010. Specialising in small-batch, French-inspired baking with contemporary flavours, the patisserie offers a tempting selection of pastries, cakes and other sweet treats.
Alongside the traditional favourites, the range includes vegan cakes, savoury burekas and chocolate-swirl babka, with coffee available to enjoy alongside something from the display.
The Antique Silver Co. – Silver, Jewellery & Gifts Since 1985
Antique Silver Co. has been part of Carlisle Street since 1985, originally specialising in sterling silver and antique-style pieces before expanding its collection.
Today, the shop stocks everything from jewellery and homewares to Judaica, antiques and gifts for different ages and occasions. As Grace discovers during her visit, it’s the kind of store where browsing can uncover something unexpected, whether you’re looking for a special piece or a small gift, with items starting from $25.
Keep your eyes peeled for next week’s episode on our Instagram.
