Saturday mornings I love to pop in and treat my family to a morning and afternoon of hot, fresh breads for our breakfast and lunch salad sandwiches. The cob loaf and multigrain selection are scrumptious! And if you're in need of a sugar and coffee fix to or from work or the school pick up, there's no better deal than the $2 coffee and donut. Should be all I needed to say really.

Perhaps the greatest deli in the world. And Oheas is just like it! With a bit of a very miniature eataly feel due to its market like setup. They've got the good coffee. Since they are so big on their Italian style coffee in Australia, I've found the best coffee is always at the Italian places. It's just darker. (ps, if your accent doesnt give away that you're American, ordering a long black every time will.) They have great sandwiches. (nowhere near graham ave, but that's like asking a common man to make a miracle happen as if he were a god.) they have they doughiest, yet flakiest croissants. And OH! The cannollis!!! The pizza is nice and is the price. It's nice to see that this place is always busy. It's great. It should be. You should come here and order brunch with a friend and sit out on the sidewalk in the sun. I am going to eat most of my meals here on the weekends.

Firstly, let's be clear: this place looks busy. It's for two reasons: 1. there is nowhere else in…read morewalking distance, 2. They take forever to serve their customers, so people are forced to wait. It is amazing, and an inspirational story in some ways, that people who are so crap at hospitality have somehow managed to not only survive but get rich. The owners have bought up a bunch of local real estate and are trying to build a monstrosity of a development but are being fought by locals due to its inappropriate design. Therein lies a clue: They're not nice/good people, they're greedy and are just in it for the money. And that's why what they do makes sense: a range of low quality provodore produce, cheap and ordinary coffees, day old pastries. All overpriced - because you don't have a choice. Good on them, but for gods sake don't encourage this behaviour or expect any semblance of Melbournes famous hospitality in this venue. Do yourselves a favour and go to Little Deer Tracks at the train tracks end of O'Shea St, or anywhere else. These people are just bad at their jobs and shouldn't be encouraged.

Great for families and friends who want to share a few dishes in a casual (think: fast food) environment. It's certainly not going to win any decor or ambience prizes, but I like the family-friendly atmosphere and it hit the spot when I needed lunch in a short time frame. Order and pay at the counter and then take your wooden spoon table number and set up at one of the many tables. I shared two mixed plates of mezze (felafel, kibbeh and other fried morsels), salads (super fresh fattoush and tabbouli) and dips with Miss 3 and my favourite +1. The mix and match approach to this style of dining is great when you're trying to please varying tastes and appetites. I could have lived with less of the fried pastry-like mezze and more of the felafel so next time will specify which mezze we want rather than leaving the selection to the server. I'll also be trying out the lebanese pizzas. Starting at a mere $1 and constantly being made in full-view of the floor. Pro tip: Grab a bottle of hot sauce from the water/cutlery

This place was quite nice, and I'm sure they appreciated the custom during this time. Their cakes were quite lovely, and they made a decent coffee as well. I'd definitely give this place another shot.

I notice that they are keeping up with trends and now have a selection of macaroons. They also have large traditional square Italian pizza slices, I haven't tried these - I suppose they will reheat them in the oven. You can have coffee and cake at the shop. There is a couple of tables and chairs in this tiled cake shop and with the large windows it would be good for people watching as the cake shop is on the corner of Sydney Road and Munro Street.

"...FABULOUS AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PASTICCERIA..."…read more I don't get to Sydney Road often, but when I do...like today...I must get cakes at TRIVELLI PASTICCERIA in Coburg.... There are 3 MUST HAVES..!! 1. Ricotta Pasticci - beautiful creamy ricotta filling inside a multi-layered crisp light pastry dusted with icing sugar 2. Cannoli - we love the custard filled ones - especially the vanilla custard ones - and the shells are always fresh, and always crisp 3. Gemelli - large Italian ring doughnuts - these are just so unbelievably good - they're fried in an olive oil blend and lightly sugared - they have a wonderful texture, fabulous aroma and gorgeous flavour - just so delicious, both warm and cold. Anyway the cakes here are not a cheap eat..they're quite special..and their price reflects this..today I bought 4 gemelli, 8 canolli and 2 pasticci - $50 exactly..but WOW..worth every single cent.. It's an old-fashioned..traditional type Italian cake shop..no coffees made here..it has always solely existed on the quality of it's wares..that's certainly saying something....!! Visited on the afternoon of Sunday 20/09/2015 for cakes to take home.

When Peter suggested that we catch up for a coffee in Coburg I suggested that we meet at Parthenon…read moreCakes because of its wonderful selection of cream cakes, baklava and biscotti. I have bought biscotti to take home by the gram and I've also ordered a large decorated cake for a party from here. The cream cakes are the kind of cakes that are almost as delicious to look at as to eat, layers of sponge cake, filled with cream and decorated with strawberries. It is difficult to make up my mind with such a selection of cakes which one to have; the staff are used to people taking their time. I decide that as I haven't had any baklava for a long time, I'll have a large log of the baklava. It turns out that "catching up for a coffee" was simply a colloquialism and neither of us actually drinks coffee. They don't do chai latte and we both order hot chocolates instead - these are indifferent unlike the excellent cakes. With these cakes to look and Peter's philosophical conversation I don't care if the décor is all very clean, modern and bit Spartan. It is the conversation and a tasty bite that we are after.

We walked out in disgust, I'm sure the latte and sweets are probably five star- not so sure about customer service!

Basic 101 neighborhood bakery decor. But all immaculate kept. Rather impressive. I felt almost as if I could have walked into the display cabinet and discovered the likes of Donna Hay stylin' away in here. The high level of quality control really shines through here. All the tasty baked goods looked near perfect, yet still a little rough. This just emphasised the hard work that the bakers here go to. No mass produced cookies or doughnuts here. We dropped by on a Sunday morning and by 10am they had run out of croissants. Testament to how popular this little spot is. As we where heading out road tripping a few snacks were needed. The top prize goes to the smiley face cookies that I snuck in. Delicate shortbread cookies, with a sweet icing top and jam filling. Bring on the flood of child hood memories. One star was lost for the snooty staff. So I may not look like a soccer mum but hey I deserve some respect for not breeding at such a young age. The staff were not helpful at all. No suggestions, no can I help you? Nothing past the initial walk in HI. In all honesty the cookies was so cookie-licous that I'll be back.
