I love your cakes! Its a shame the your have closed to the public and only online orders. Do you have a local shop or pick up times we can get an order
This place serves up the most divine cakes! I often come here for their salted caramel mousse. I also love their shortbread biscuits, donuts, Oreo cheesecakes, tarts, little chocolate mousse cups... There's so much to love and eat! The cakes are fresh. I've only ever experienced one slightly stale cake and that's been one in maybe a dozen visits.
My friends and I have also bought large cakes for birthdays and events in the past. No complaints. Always beautiful and taste delicious.
I'm yet to try from their breakfast or lunch menu. Always too busy eating cake.
My only negative is that on the two occasions I've tried the gelato they've tasted terrible. I don't rate the gelato.
Staff are very friendly and welcoming.
I wound up here for cake and coffee. The mini-cakes are a really great idea. My friend and I had a "degustation" style dessert and coffee. The cakes were delicious and the bill came in under $20. This place is down the road from home, with free and ample local parking. So we were well ahead already. The cherry on the cake was the staff. The service was warm and friendly and staff actively engage with guests to ensure that they're being "looked after". I'd have given them a five, but the décor could use some freshening up. Great job, guys!
You should check this place out just for the chocolate milkshakes alone. Not cheap but they have heaps of ice cream and are well worth the price.
Amazing food, great staff. The avocado experience is a breakfast must have! Don't be put off by the location, this place will become a regular of yours in no time.

Grabbed an early tea here today. Loved the friendly greeting in this super-casual cafe. We were here for the 'souvas', and there's a great selection. Cutting to the chase, the O/H went with 'Meat Lover's Souvlaki', this is a feast in itself. While he chose to leave off the tzatziki (I know, but what can you do?), everything else on it was his idea of a good thing, not one, but three meats (he went lamb and chicken), but it includes bacon as the third meat, bbq sauce (see, I mean who has bbq sauce of souvlaki?), chips and salad. He finished the lot. I chose the 'Zahari Skewers' and stayed trad. with lamb, it includes pita, tzatziki, salad and chips. The lamb was beautifully cooked, charred on the outside, and pink within. The meat was difficult to get off the first skewer, I think the burnt end had swollen the wood or something, but the second was easy. Yum. We shared some good chips topped with oregano and a lovely creamy feta. Two kids had the saganaki, and the third chose the Grilled Calamari. This was such a generous serve of calamari, the likes of which I have never seen. I am told it was perfectly tender too.
We also indulged in milk shakes of various flavours, though unfortunately they were not able to indulge my O/H in his favourite - spearmint - today. There was some gelato at the end, (lemon lime made a delicious change from the usual lemon I go for) and we have taken some cakes away, they look great, we have yet to try though. I am told the coffee is of a very good standard too, by my coffee-addicted partner.
We did not see any options for the fancy milkshakes like the image above (with extra toppings).
Great service, good prices, relaxed, casual, no frills cafe. Worthwhile.
comfortable little cafe with DELICIOUS deserts!!!
they can also make a great Greek coffee which I really appreciate.
The food didn't really stand out to me, but that's all okay when the sweets are to die for!
We had the louklumades (with Nutella) and baklava (almost better than yiayas but shh don't tell her 🤐)
Oh and not to forget the customer service, we were served my an extremely helpful younger girl who made my partner and I both smile and feel welcome in the cafe, just lovely!
Will be returning very soon:-)
Stepping inside Zahari, you are GREETED by photos of a WELL DRESSED MAN.
"Who are the photos of?" this Whip enquired. "The Greek FRANK SINATRA" we were told. GOT IT!
Because Zahari is next to KFC, with attached signage, we thought it was linked somehow, BUT NO! GOOD! The Double Shot Macchiato, was SUPERB. But too strong for this Whip. Needed extra milk. "You should have got a PICCOLO!" we were told. We live and learn, hey!
Ps this Cafe is open LONG HOURS, and will be open LONG AFTER all the HIPSTER BARISTA'S have gone shopping for their VINTAGE bicycles etc.. Lol.
Food : Serves an awesome iced coffee. Really intense and smooth, blended with premium vanilla ice cream. Huge selection of cakes/sweets, mostly Greek.
Service : Service with a smile, really helpful staff when it came to choosing desserts.
Ambience : Lovely to sit outside or inside
this cafe is located next to a fast food eater and great location. I've been for their breakfast and tried their big breakfast and was absolutely delicious! big servings and the eggs cooked perfectly. they also have some greek sweets like the loukamades which are greek donuts and they are very sweet but tasty. overall great experience
I come here with my partner and his family, all the staff are chatty and fun and the cakes are great with a lot of variety, we also order them to take home at birthdays and Christmas. I like getting iced coffees here too.
Especially coming into summer an iced latte a piece of homemade baklava is the perfect after-work pick me up. The staff here are always so friendly and the coffee is great.
Fabulous Cafe. Highly recommended. Cakes and pastries baked on the premises, with nice range of reasonably prices meals and treats. Service is friendly and prompt and the coffee is good !
Sampled from a magnificent selection of Greek desserts from here today. Awesome one of the best galaktoboureko I've had aside from my mum in law's.
