How we read reviews →Brunetti's Chadstone outpost: Italian patisserie with cannoli, tiramisu and gelato, best for a quick dessert stop
A high-visibility Italian patisserie counter inside Chadstone Shopping Centre. busy, buzzy and self-service in operation. Limited seating that fills quickly, with a confusing ordering process that disorients first-timers. Display cases overflowing with cakes, pastries and gelato create strong visual appeal, though the ambient noise and mall context mean it functions more as a pit stop than a sit-down destination.
Extensive range of Italian cakes and pastries including seasonal specialties. In-store gelato bar with rotating flavours including seasonal options like Dubai chocolate. DIY cannoli packs available for takeaway gifts. Focaccia sandwich bar (the Bella with ricotta mousse and prosciutto). Pre-ordering available for birthday and celebration cakes. Aperitivo hour with spritz drinks in the afternoon.
Italian patisserie tradition. cannoli, tiramisu, panettone, focaccia and gelato are all rooted in Italian baking culture. The Carlton original has stronger authenticity credentials; the Chadstone branch is a mall-adapted version that trades some of that heritage for convenience and volume.
Premium pricing for a shopping-centre venue with weekend (10%) and public holiday (15%) surcharges on top of already high cake prices. Gelato, bite-size options and focaccia sandwiches offer better value than the full cakes. Pre-ordered celebration cakes draw the most quality complaints relative to their significant price.
