Justin YapAugust 25, 2015If you're feeling adventurous, try the traditional Italian delicacy of panforte (pa-na-forr-teh). However, ask the staff when it was prepared. If it's been over 1-2hrs, it will be as hard as a rock.
JMay 30, 2018Get in early before the rush and you may have a pleasant experience. Otherwise it's too commercialised and popular to be a regular spot. The chocolate croissant is better than the equivalent at Lune
Rachel RothJanuary 2, 2017So. Much. Cake. I like the mini versions towards the end of the display - you don't have to feel guilty about eating many of them. :-)
RoomCriticFebruary 2, 2014A Carlton institution, open early and late, fantastic coffee and incredible Italian style cakes, pastries, sandwiches and gelato. For the best places to stay in Melbourne visit stayple.net Read more
Pastries? Yes! Italian hot chocolate? Absolutely! Chocolates? Sure! But for the love of god, do not drink coffee here. You're better off bathing your tongue in a mixture of fertilizer & rat poison.
AlastairFebruary 20, 2012The coffees with vanilla ice cream look amazing. The selection in the pasticceria is very good, and fairly authentic - some things a little too sweet, but pick carefuly for some sure winners.
The Nutella and ricotta cheesecake is delicious, and the Rum BaBa is a surprisingly unique and yummy treat! I found my mocha to be quite nice as well.
Still shite the way u order & pick up ur coffee. It's not designed for us as customers. It is solely to make their life easier. Cafe and cakes are so nice thou.
Maria XenakiJune 24, 2015Great place to meet your friends! Nice coffee and a lot of choices for sweets!
Shannon HamiltonOctober 19, 2015OMG best coffee. Best cakes. Great staff. Laura visit here when I'm in Melbourne.
pin leeApril 5, 2017take a no. n wait 2order pastry. U collect yr coffee at another counter. If u prefer a sandwich, move further in n order fr another counter. Sandwiches will be served at yr table. Gd lemon tart.
Cheese cakes (New York or Cookies & Cream). Coffee is always good too
- There's a for sale / lease above the shops. All four. Either combined or individual. What's happening! This can't end. I bring everyone here. Mr Brunetti how can you abandon us!!! Like to protest!
Try the Italian Hot Choccolate with cream,a nice cartoccio or the cornetti and you are set. Finding a car park and a seat is really challenging, but it's worth it. Also try Brunetti other locations :)
JoannaAugust 16, 2014Open till late at nigh - always bustling. Great cakes and pastries. Italian hot chocolate is a must try!
Kane McErvaleMarch 28, 2015Amazing coffee, Italian pastries, cakes and good looking Italian baristas. The quintessential Melbourne destination.
Brooke SkinnerJuly 3, 2013This place is amazing. If you're visiting Melbourne, make sure coming here is one of the first things you do, because you will want to come back.
BrodMarch 18, 2015Not your usual quaint Cafe, yet amongst the hustle and bustle, coffee is still surprisingly decent. Busy atmosphere with orders at the bar- Biscotti was good. Although this place has a nice ambience, I'm put off by the crowd. Its difficult to make an order and I would give it average rating for the effort & money spent!
JingXun HuAugust 28, 2017Smorgasbord of cakes and pastries, heady-tasting coffee and sinful gelatto! No available seats on weekends
Mimi TaherMay 30, 2017Amazing cakes and coffees! The best place for dessert in Melbourne that closes late
TomfooleryJanuary 4, 2015Actually think this place is highly overrated. I find most of the deserts are way too sweet (disguising the absence of taste), and the coffee quality varies, sometimes ok, sometimes atrocious
Amazing cakes and desserts. The pizza is also really good.
Table/Seat is the biggest problem esp. on weekend. Other is car park, so better come here by public transport. But the cakes and hot choclate are great!
Good place to chill out and talk shit all night. Of course good place to check out some fine looking honeys :)
Philip BrookesSeptember 25, 2010This would be 1 of the most successful cafes in Melbourne, and yet it's hard to put your finger on exactly why. Cakes are great, coffee very respectable, but perhaps deciding factor is the atmosphere.
Desserst were divine! A bit expensive but very delicious. :D
Jas SohiApril 29, 2014The big pizza feeds at least 5 regular humans. Not sure why it says 3 or more only.
Jennifer ReidApril 8, 2011I came to Melbourne for a holiday 2 weeks ago and this place has been in mind ever since - The Italian-style hot chocolate was TO DIE FOR!
Greta PunchJuly 6, 2013It's super busy most of the time but tasty cakes. Try and get Marie to serve you, she's the best
Passion fruit macaroons and flourless orange cake are very delicious.
- Sharon TanOctober 1, 2010Really nice pastries and beverages under one roof. Its coming to Singapore soon! Last had it in Melbourne and I love the atmosphere! =D

"Kugelhopf for sure; the cheesecake's also pretty good and much lighter than it looks. But the plum cake's just won my heart over. Light and tasty pastry, not too sweet, the plums feel fresh... Yum!"
