Mietta's Review This cafe is as tiny as an espresso cup on the inside, but there are plenty more seats out on the pavement, for you to enjoy the assortment of authentic Italian cakes, biscuits, sandwiches and very good pizza by the slice. Fresh ingredients, great coffee, fast and friendly service make this place a popular early morning coffee and lunch spot amongst the folk from RMIT just across Swanston Street.

The Age Cheap Eats 2004,Good,'It's fast,cheap and in control of the crowd's demands.Good,strong coffee is served with predictable but presentable food:ham and cheese croissants,minstrone,fruit toast and almond bikkies...Service is all business,no banter,but punters crammed around the tiny tables don't seem to mind.'
