About Us:

Based in the heart of the Clovelly community, Madame & Yves is an artisanal patisserie and boulangerie where everything is designed with the best ingredients that are sourced with care. Behind our offerings is a talented group of kitchen staff led by our pastry boss Yves Scherrer, coach of Australia’s team in the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie (World Pastry Cup). We’re a bustling, busy and tight knit atmosphere where staff and customers connect over seriously good treats based in classic French technique with a modern, international sensibility.
