Via Verona

A Kew High Street institution for 20-plus years: legendary coffee, fresh cannoli, a loyal local crowd.

Spacious, airy Italian cafe with big front windows, cushioned seating and newspapers on hand. an old-school, unhurried neighbourhood spot popular with an older, regular crowd.

House-made cakes and cannoli (best eaten fresh per regulars), custom cake orders for events like baby showers, long-serving staff recognised by name across decades.

Italian cafe heritage evident in the cannoli, espresso-bar style coffee and the venue's name; the occasional Greek spanakopita points to a broader old-school Melbourne cafe menu rather than strict Italian purism.

Generally seen as reasonably priced for coffee and pastries, though a couple of reviewers flagged display items like a lasagne slice ($18.50) as pricier than expected.
