Solid brunch place with some inventive breakfast items on a cool street.

Would have liked a bit more of the eggplant spread given that it was featured in the menu listing up front and not barely enough to call it a condiment. Coffee looked pretty but was just okay. Nice place overall.

The reason being is that they tend to get pretty crowded pretty quickly with all of the workers pouring in here for the breakfast that they neglected to have at home. Okay, I came here simply to check it out, and not surprisingly I was pretty impressed. They did a pretty decent fruit salad, and the coffee wasn't all that bad either. It is certainly a place I'd try again.

It's a fancy place that professional people come to work or have business meetings with coworkers during the weekday, and a hip place for young adults to socialize on the weekends. I regret not trying the hot chocolate with fairy floss, which is not only photogenic but very popular. The chia pudding was amazing, but lack of menu options and high prices are what keeps me from coming back more.

The caffeine is just not strong enough. Patricia's was the first and one of the only places that had a delicious smooth cup of coffee and got me perked up for my day.

The place is huge, with tons of seating, beautiful Italian-inspired décor, and a warm, inviting vibe. Perfect spot to duck in on a chilly Melbourne day. We ordered the Italian hot chocolate with cream....rich, thick, and absolutely indulgent and a small tiramisu that was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Both were excellent. I can't wait to come back and try the food options. The menu looked amazing, and with so much space to sit and relax, it's definitely a place you can spend time in without feeling rushed. Highly recommend if you're in Melbourne and craving good sweets, coffee, or just a cozy spot to unwind.

The pastries are just as impressive, plus there's a wood-fired pizza oven and multiple stations where you can casually hang out. We stopped in during the Christmas holidays and loved seeing locals picking up desserts for their celebrations. A fun, lively spot frequented by both locals and tourists, and a great place to pause with a coffee and a pistachio cannoli.
