I think the flavors complimented everything really well. The service was quick and friendly as well. The ambience of the cafe really set the tone of the space.

Solid brunch place with some inventive breakfast items on a cool street.

It was tasty but the threw all of the items on the two pieces of toast piled on top of one another - like they were in too big a rush to notice or care and I had to reconstruct it myself. Would have liked a bit more of the eggplant spread given that it was featured in the menu listing up front and not barely enough to call it a condiment. Coffee looked pretty but was just okay. Nice place overall.

Make sure to check out Hardware Societe for delicious Australian brunch and lovely service! The Hardware Lane location is a lot smaller than the other one but it's the original location.

The caffeine is just not strong enough. Patricia's was the first and one of the only places that had a delicious smooth cup of coffee and got me perked up for my day. Yuzu almond croissant was also good-wished they could've heated it up a tiny bit. The store is right off of little Bourke and you won't miss it because of the big line. Goes pretty fast though, and the workers are very friendly!!

We popped into Brunetti thinking it was just a small cafe, but it's so much bigger than we…read moreexpected! The place is huge, with tons of seating, beautiful Italian-inspired décor, and a warm, inviting vibe. Perfect spot to duck in on a chilly Melbourne day. We ordered the Italian hot chocolate with cream....rich, thick, and absolutely indulgent and a small tiramisu that was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Both were excellent. I can't wait to come back and try the food options. The menu looked amazing, and with so much space to sit and relax, it's definitely a place you can spend time in without feeling rushed. Highly recommend if you're in Melbourne and craving good sweets, coffee, or just a cozy spot to unwind.
