Food is so good! Ordered the angus burger and upside-down burger with American loaded fries on the side. It was all so good and coffee was great too. We were so full after so didn't get the chance to try a dessert but will definitely be back!
Creative and deliciously good looking food! Great waiting time and a lovely atmosphere. The serving sizes are very generous and the deep fried angus burger is crazy good. Must try! The one waiter is a little dead inside and there’s only one waitress who is happy to be there. Aside from that, definitely coming back!
Avo Buns : 😁 Great
Granola : 😍 Amazing
Wedges : 😍 Amazing
Unicorn Cappuccino: 😁 Great
Service : 😊 Good
This place serves up some photogenic dishes that look amazing from every angle. The creativity in the dishes and the time and effort put into each dish and drink can be seen as it’s being served. The colours, the tastes and the textures of each dish have their own unique way of complimenting each other. This cafe honestly goes the extra mile. Legit even their wedges are next level. 110% coming back.
Average service but amazing food !! The granola
is a must have for brunch, it’s not too sweet or over powering. The avocado burger was absolutely delicious, super healthy and very fulfilling.
I suppose the only downside was that we ordered tea and didn’t end up getting it AND the cafe doesn’t allow any meal modifications, which makes it difficult if you have dietary requirements.
Just to note on the unicorn cappuccino, the toppings were delicious and appropriate if you have a sweet tooth, but it’s not really suitable for coffee lovers.
Having just been to a Taiwanese breakfast a few doors down we were craving for some caffeine fix and cane across Bello. Wished we saw the food here first as they looked awesome! Very bright and cheery! I need to try the avocado burger next time (they used avocado halves instead of bread 😜) we only had the flat white and mocha and they were both good!
Bello the Shelter may seem like your ordinary Sydney brunch spot, located on the ground floor of Burwood Westfield but as you step in, you realise that it is world’s away!. As we walked to our table at the end, we realised that this was no ordinary brunch place. We saw candy, oreos, sprinkles and chocolate everywhere – we were living our our fantasy of visiting Willy Wonka’s factory. By the time we got to our table, we were ridiculously excited for the food!
Delicious and unique food! Definitely recommend trying out the Viral burger (burger with deep fried buns) and the Inside out burger (literally inside out burger with patties on the outside)! And finishing it off with the beautiful waffles 👌 The staff was very lovely and friendly and the homely ambience was nice, will be visiting again 😚
We came to Bello The Shelter in Burwood for lunch and owner and manager Tania greeted us during a busy service. The cafe is conveniently located by the ground floor Burwood Road entrance of Westfield, you won’t miss it from the high street. Despite being busy, Tania took time to show us to our table and explain the menu, the smile never leaving her face. Throughout our time there, Tania welcomed guests with enthusiasm, directed dishes to the right tables and answered enquiries from the staff. It was evident the team effectively handled the busy lunchtime under her leadership.
Pros
Extensive menu, a large variety to choose from
Easy parking - just park in Westfields
I enjoyed my mushroom dish
Instagram worthy
Cons
the wait took a while
Juices were overpriced
My family came to bello for the first time since it's makeover and was pleasantly surprised. The menu is refreshed and the presentation of the dishes is magnificent. I am sure some of their dishes will start popping up on Instagram soon. Service was courteous. I did notice it was pricier than what it use to be, however given the improvement with the menu I had no issue with it. Looking forward to returning!!!

The food here is like you’re in Willy Wonka’s Factory, Candyland or a fantasy fit for unicorns. Splashes of colour, lollies and Oreos, you’re in magical place, worlds away from the shopping centre you’re actually at.
Bello the shelter is located at the entrance to Westfield Burwood and is a large cafe with quaint homely style theming and sizeable booths and space for plenty of people to enjoy all day breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It was super busy when we there, buzzing with excited diners.
The owners are extremely passionate about their business, working hard for over 20 years to keep this a thriving cafe, adapting to the customers and current food climate. They are really hospitable and welcome us to experience their wonderful cafe.
A group foodies joined together on this occasion, ordering a range of the favourites to share. We began with some beautiful coloured lattes, the rose flavour - a hot pink cup of goodness, that tasted exactly like Rose! Accompanying this was a fluro purple taro latte. They have plenty more flavours on offer, so make sure you ask - they’re secret!
Then come the two drinks that anyone will jump with excitement at. The Candy land milkshake: a bubblegum milkshake topped with fairy floss, lollypops, sugar straps, gummy lollies and more to make your dreams a reality.
The second one, a chocolate version with Oreos, brownies, chocolate wafers and cream, you cannot come without ordering one of these.
Another beautiful dish is the Organic Granola with Seasonal fruits, poached pear, served with fruit and organic honeycomb, complete with small jars of syrup, milk and coloured cereal.
For a savory selection, we went with the Egyptian style “Basturma Omelette” – free range eggs with olives and fresh tomatoes and a side of sourdough.
There’s some other interesting options, which we didn’t have but worth a try are the “Salmon macarons” or a brioche French toast with matcha, dulce de leche and gold leaf.
Whilst we picked some of the super interesting options, they do have your typical foods like benedict, Bacon and egg rolls, avocado on toast and more.
From the lunch menu we couldn’t go past the “Season” – the charcoal bun with a grass-fed angus beef patty, with double hi-melt American cheese, roasted capsicum, beetroot balsamic, bacon, oak lettuce, tomato and secret sauce.
They also have a burger called “Viral” that is crumbed and deep fried with pickles, jalepenos, salsa and sour cream, this is not for the faint hearted and sure to go crazy with the insta crowds.
In addition to this, the menu has a range of other burgers, ribs, hanging skewers, steak and schnitzels as well as salads.
A great café to take a break from shopping but it’s also a destination café that is certainly worth specifically travelling to. Food to suit any market and there are quality inventive dishes but also regular menu choices if you’re not as adventurous. We certainly plan a revisit.
Great service, surprisingly good food (CGP Grey would recommend you try the French toast - if you get the reference). They are fairly pricey, but to be honest I was not disappointed.
We had the unicorn cappuccino, English breakfast tea, the "Avotar" and the "not a morning person", with special requests and everything was presented as requested and absolutely delicious.
Lovely place to have a brunch or tea.
Nice and friendly service ❤️
You might feel a bit expansive...but it’s totally amazing food.
