This is undoubtedly the best Chilean bakery in Melbourne. We travel 12 km to get there and always…read moreoverspend because everything is so good. Empanadas, Chilenitos, Maraquetas, Torta de Mil Hojas, Tortas de Pina, Pan Amasado, and many sorts of fresh creamy cakes. They do seafood empanadas at Easter. We have bought their multi-layered creamy birthday cake over a number of years and for $35 to $40 you can get a cake big enough for 20 people. Marciano now has another store in Maidstone so those in the west and north can now also enjoy the best that Chile offers. You can also get the classic Chilean lemonades "Pap", "Bilz" and "Kem".

I called long distance from the US and made a very difficult request of having a cake delivered to…read morea family member in Boronia who really needed cheering up. Marciano's does not deliver, but the gentleman who answered was very courteous and helpful in helping me find a way to make this happen. He ended up suggesting we get a cab to deliver it and arranged everything for me while I waited on the phone. Later that day the cake arrived. I later received a very emotional email thanking me for the gesture which would not have been possible without the kind help of the folks at Marciano's. I was also told the cake was amazing.

NOT WELL THOUGHT THROUGH IN DESIGN OR PRESENTATION. Yet they have amazing Baklavas in such a big range. There is all kind of Lebanese breads and pizzas, Middle Eastern spices galore, sherbets, syrups and more The shop is a hybrid of -Grocery store -Cafe ($2.50 for an average coffee) -Bakery. So this shop really needs recognition for what it does beautifully. That is why the presentation of the shop only takes away one star.

I just happened upon this place because my mother in law has moved down to Dingley Village. We…read morewere looking for a place to have a nice cup of coffee and some lunch. I have to admit I loved the corner shop with the cute little outdoor seating although I didn't appreciate how small the place is. If you have a pram, you'd definitely have to sit outside and on a cold day, that's definitely not a bonus. The coffee was okay, not the best by far that I've had. I did end up going back and having an iced coffee and that was perfect. It probably was the ice cream in it that made it even better though. If it had been an iced coffee without ice cream I doubt I would have enjoyed it as much. I had a chicken schnitzel sandwich which was exceptionally good on a delicious bread roll. The mayo that was on the sandwich was absolutely to die for! The staff don't seem overly friendly though which is definitely a hinderance on a coffee shop. I prefer to walk in and get warmly greeted and I didn't feel that from this shop. I can definitely recommend them for their lovely range of breads (which obviously it is a bakehouse so they should have) and the sausage rolls!

They found out that people loved their idea of making breads that is prepared on site, cooked on site and given to the customer the minute they get out of the Tandoor while still making them inexpensive ($0.70 each). That they have stopped everything else and are struggling to cook enough for their customers. There is only two types of breads, one is the normal type and the other has been sweetened and have some seeds brushed over them.
