How we read reviews →Tucked-away Balwyn café-bakery famed for buttery croissants, cotoletta paninis and vanilla slice.
Warm, relaxing counter café behind the shopfront strip, run by a close-knit team who greet regulars by name.
All pastries baked in house daily by the owner, dog-friendly seating, and a tucked-away entrance near the Woolworths car park ramp.
Genuine Italian bottega bakery tradition (house-made cannoli, cotoletta panini) alongside Portuguese tarts one reviewer compared favourably to eating them in Portugal.
Reviewers repeatedly call it very reasonably priced for the quality and portion size of the paninis and pastries.
