The real Italian focaccia stuffed with all the goodness of God.
Super fresh ingredients and stratospherically super good focaccia.

Extraordinary Italian focaccia prepared fresh from the owen and enriched with delicious 1st quality fresh ingredients!
Recommended to stop for a lunch or for a coffee with granita.

Probably the best cannoli in Victoria as my partner and I have been to most Cannoli bars in state.

Best cannoli I've ever had. Magnificent. Coffee is good. Everything is freshly made and very hard choosing! Will have to come back. Not a table service cafe, you need to order at counter but team is friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone that loves Italian sweets and pastries and pizza.

***** 29.10 Allergy update *******
I have to add this Update. On the 13th Oct I ordered 6 vegan canolis after being assured there was no egg products. A family member is allergic to eggs. I was assured in the insta communication and in person by chef. This family member took 2 bites and had a reaction. They were really sick all night. I text the store the next day to let them know about it however never heard back. Some people choose vegan food as a lifestyle choice.
Othes have no choice and eat vegan to avoid ingredients that are like poison to their bodies. If you have intolerances or are allergic I wouldn't recommend these "vegan" products. Luckily my family member isn't anaphylactic. I dropped a star. I hope these matters are taken extremely seriously to avoid someone being sick or worst case if anaphylactic a life in danger.

. Stumble across this place a week after returning from a holiday in Italy. Big mistake! Overpriced food that wouldn't cut it in the Old Country! Deeply disappointed, big prices, small quality.

My husband and I visited for a mid morning sweet treat and had the pistachio, Nutella and bueno cannoli - they were hands down the best we’ve had. This place also has a lovely cosy atmosphere, lovely service and stocks some delicious Sicilian goodies such as biscuits and custard filled treats to take home. We took some extra cannoli to our family and can’t wait to go back and try their delicious looking savoury lunch offerings.

My partner took me here because he claimed it was the best cannoli he's had, and it definitely let up! Little hidden gem of a Cafe with delicious cannoli and other pastries which looked absolutely mouth-watering! We ordered the tiramisu & raspberry cheescake cannoli's which were heavenly! Cappuccino is also a must to accompany the sweet treasures, we loved it!

Awkward location in the suburb with conjugated parking. Food is about okay but long waits and nothing low on carbs or sugar. Great if you do a long cycling ride to get that sugar hit else you know! I wish it was in the Main Street with easy parking.

OMG, stumbled on this place by accident but what a wonderful surprise! Freshly made food with a focus on desserts and some very tasty savoury delights. You can smell the deliciousness at a distance on a calm day. Plain cannoli are piped with vanilla or chocolate custard to order but there’s also ricotta cannoli and other Sicilian specialties. Cute venue with indoor and outdoor seating and decorated with lots of vintage knick knacks. So good. Buonissimo!

The food was fantastic. Whether you choose savoury or sweet, the food is superb and worth a trip to the cafe in Avondale Heights.
The service is friendly and fast. Will be back again, guys.

@cannolibar these guys do more than just cannoli but! Authentically made with love. Find free time to totally relax with some wonderfully friendly owners and passionate chef who create amazing Italian pastries. Highly recommend

Hidden Gem on a suburban street.

A little taste of East Coast Sicilian flavour and flair with wonderful traditional Cannoli and Arancini and array of other culinary treasures. Friendly staff and atmosphere nestled amongst a quiet neighbourhood.

I really love this heart warming cafe. It has great coffee, lovingly made food & all the staff are so lovely. They definitely know how to run a good business & value their customers. The music they play is also very fitting & relaxing.

What I love the most is that they are inclusive & don't make people from other cultures or backgrounds feel unwelcome. It does not have that vibe that if you are not Italian that you don't belong here. I am Italian & do not appreciate this type of mentality one bit. This is also reflected in the staff they hire who come from other parts of the world. It's really wonderful & harmonious. You do an amazing job at welcoming everyone equally.

If I can provide some constructive feedback, the granita is a bit too sweet. If the sugar content is reduced, it will allow the natural flavour of the granita to shine, instead of the sugar.

Amazing food with a real authentic home cooked vibe, friendly staff and pet friendly. My personal favourite are the castagnole, especially warm first thing in the morning!

Simply the best Cannoli we have ever had!
Tried many of the flavours and they were all so good and different. So fresh and the customer service was also a 10/10.
Looking forward to returning for lunch to try some arancini and pizza!

The Cannoli Bar is a hidden, delicious, historic gem!
Hidden away in a small, residential street surrounded by triple fronted brick veneers built mostly in the 50's and 60's, it looks like it was originally built as a local milkbar to serve people within walking distance when supermarkets didn't really exist as we know them now and few people had cars.
We visited on a late afternoon weekday, shortly before closing, and managed to get the last table available.
It's a tiny Cafe with limited seating selling traditional Cannoli, coffee, and a small menu of Sicilian light meals and snacks, like Nonna used to make.
They have won awards for the best Cannoli, and they deserve it.
We bought a selection and they were super fresh, light and crispy and full of flavour. Beautifully presented and decorated.
My favourite by far was the traditional ricotta one. Just the right amount of tangy lemon zest, not too sweet and freshly filled just before serving. Absolutely delicious!
Our coffees went perfectly with them.
The decor is very 50-60's, Laminex tables, orange vinyl seats, the prints on the walls, lighting etc.
A very homey atmosphere, especially in the tiny side room.
A tiny, nostalgic trip with yummy food!
Staff are really friendly, explaining the choices and smiling as they brought our treats to the table.
There is limited seating inside, as well as a few tables outside. Expect to get takeaway if you visit when they are really busy, which I suspect is most of the time.

Truly the best Cannoli place in Australia! If you go for lunch the Porchetta is also highly recommended! Very welcome atmosphere and nice attentive staff.

Ordered 2 cannoli, croissant and some pastries. Took about 15 minutes for the coffee to come out and another 5 minutes for cannoli. Pastry took another 15 minutes… staff not responsive to one another and too busy laughing with eachother and not completing an order. Honestly such a shame. Cold coffee, croissant not toasted when asked for it. Management may need to talk to the junior staff about getting their game on

A bit of surprise at first to find a cafe in a residential area, but by the time we left i wished i lived across the street:) Food was nice, we even had some cannolis for takeaway. Friendly service was a plus!

COVID safe practices in place the cafe offer a great range of CANNOLI, Coffee, pastries, Pizza by the square and sausage rolls. This was my first visit, had a square of Margarita pizza and traditional Cannoli. The pizza transported back to my last visit to Italy and the Cannoli is the best I have had. Will definitely be back
