Both Fre-Jac Bakery and Maison Lassiaille offer unique experiences that transport visitors straight to France without leaving Western Australia. Established by former Parisians Roselyne and Jean-Marie, Fre-Jac Bakery has been serving the community since its opening in 2006. Originally starting as a combined restaurant and bakery in Balingup, the business eventually moved to Vasse due to high demand for their exquisite baked goods. Known for producing a wide variety of breads using French wheat flour, water, salt, and no added sugars or genetically modified organisms (GMO), this patisserie offers an extensive range of options including French and Australian baguettes, sourdough loaves, and specialty breads. Their commitment to quality extends beyond their breads, as they also provide an assortment of pastries crafted with meticulous attention to detail and utilizing both local and imported ingredients from France.
Just a few kilometers away lies Maison Lassiaille, another haven for those seeking delectable French confections. Open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (with extended hours during school holidays), this establishment boasts an impressive array of patisseries, cakes, savory items, macarons, coffee, tea, biscuits, and even chocolates. Guests can indulge in these offerings while enjoying the serene atmosphere of either the indoor or dog-friendly outdoor seating areas. For those looking for something truly extraordinary, Maison Lassiaille's High Tea experience is not to be missed. These two patisseries in Vasse serve as testaments to the enduring appeal of French cuisine and culture, providing travelers with unforgettable experiences that tantalize the senses and leave lasting memories.
