Nice coffee. I used to buy one every morning when I worked nearby. I also like their Reuben sandwich. Very tasty. It's a small place so can feel a little cramped.
You’ll want to become a regular! This place is perfect. It offers outside, courtyard, and cosy indoor dining options. The menu is broad and I can confidently say will cater to all tastes any time of day. We enjoy being greeted like long lost friends and note this is consistent for all customers of this beautifully run family business. Simply cannot fault this little gem for it’s lovingly made fresh food and it’s outstandingly attentive service. And did I mention how good the coffee is?! A visit will not disappoint :)

With all this social isolation and working from homes it had been ages since I had ventured out for a good coffee so today’s takes away coffee tasted absolutely delicious. All the tables were pushed aside but they were still making coffee and had some delicious cakes and slices and banana breads in the cabinet that we grabbed.
My big skinny latte was served nice and hot so still a good heat by the time we got home and KD’s strong almond milk latte packed quite a good hit of caffeine.
We toasted the banana raspberry & banana and blueberry breads at home. A wonderful WFH breakfast.
Priced a sign advertising fresh takeaway dinners available for sale and reheating at home for $15 each and some of the options sounded delicious. Worth considering for the future i think.

Previous Review
The covered courtyard of Santucci’s was rustic and charming and filled with plenty of natural lighting and a giant heater for those colder days. We chose this spot to sit when we visited for Sunday brunch as it was nice a quiet and roomy space.
The menu read well and seemed quite classic with a strong focus on savoury. That’s said there was a delicious sounding french toast that we just had to try.
Coffee and Chai first up. The coffee was nice and hot just like I like and quite smooth and milk well frothed so good for picture art. The chai seemed authentic and wasn’t overly sweet. We also had a nice melons juice which was predominantly watermelon based, always refreshing.
We had the giant corn and sweet potato fritter, the tacos and the French toast for our brunch today.
The corn and sweet potato fritters were pretty as a picture and came with two perfectly poached eggs, a beetroot purée and dots of bright saffron aioli. I really enjoyed this dish.
The tacos mentioned on the specials menu were beef but we received thin crumbed chicken which was equally welcome by us. The coleslaw that accompanied the chicken on these toasted taco shells was flavoursome and juicy too... yum

Many years of industry experience working in hotel kitchens and in running other cafes and as such likes to change and flex the specials menu almost weekly here so there is always something new to try on repeat visits.
Our last dish was the French toast and this was exceptionally plated. This brioche french toast came with marshmallow, choc wafer, fruit, custard dots and plenty of maple. It was relatively light for a french toast as brioche wasn’t super thick cut and I liked this fact.
A really great brunch meal and a lot of interesting dishes still on the menu that we didn’t get to try. Thanks so much for inviting us in. Santucci’s is only a hop away from our home in Box Hill South so it’s good to know a great local.
Staff were welcoming and lovely. A freshly squeezed glass of juice, smashed avo and a nice seat in the corridor strip are a winning combination! Hope to come back again soon
I love the eclectic mix of Santucci’s decor - not many cafes like this. The service is friendly and atmosphere is very welcoming. Really enjoyed the food here from the eggs Benny, the brekkie burger, mushrooms as well as the brioche French toast. Will definitely be back for more!
We went there for a Zipkick event and got to try their new dishes!! This is a humble cafe that resides in Camberwell, right along side a tram line. We loved visiting the lovely cafe, it offers a quaint and cosy environment. There is a lovely outback area, it’s very country style and a great place to go to meet with friends or get some work done! We loved the food! We ordered the Beef Brisket Hollandaise, the French Toast and the Smashed avo! You can see how beautiful and vibrant the dishes, and the flavour was scrumptious on each one! Highly recommend visiting soon!
Had the opportunity to try the new menu and it was tasty AF!
I got to try the smashed avo, chia pudding, chilli mushrooms, brekkie burger, beef cheek benedict and smoked salmon open toast.
Each dish was flavoursome and well balanced. Some highlights were the beef cheek benny which was tender and topped with a perfectly poached egg. The brekkie burger had extra crispy bacon and that rosti is a genius addition.
Overall the new menu is exciting and delicious. You won't regret stopping in for a feed.
Santucci’s layout and design is of an older more rustic time incorporating light and delicious foods with an amazing vibrant presentation. Their hallway is almost photographic in the way it’s been laid out. Definitely one for the brunch community

Santucci's new menu launch took place over the weekend and I was lucky enough to try out some of the new dishes. A perk when you dine in a big group is the crazy amount of dishes you will get to try. Beef Cheek Benny, Smashed Avo, Chilli Mushrooms, French Toast, Chia Pudding, Smoked Salmon Open Sandwich, and Corn and Sweet Potatoes Fritters were the dishes we got to indulged in.
A sweet tooth like me will find it hard to go past the French Toast. Adorning a thick slice of soft and fluffy bread are vanilla ice cream, crushed homemade honeycomb, vanilla custard, assorted fruits and finally drizzled with Mork dark chocolate sauce. The zesty flavours of the fruits, the bittersweet chocolate and the candied undertones from the honeycomb come together to create an explosion of flavours.
The Beef Cheek Benny was a crowd favourite, and it's no surprise why when the 12 hours beef cheek was so incredibly tender, moist and flavourful. The homemade BBQ sauce lent a smoky sweetness to the dish, and whoever had the genius idea to add sweet potatoes chips deserves a medal.
The Smoked Salmon Open Sandwich was something that I would definitely order if I wanted something light and healthy. Fresh, bright and delicate flavours, with a hint of richness from the cheese. Simple yet delightful.
Chilli Mushrooms is a dish that always go down well with anyone because who doesn't like mushies? An assortment of juicy mushies, chilli soy bean sauce, radish pesto and truffle oil, this dish is a surefire hit. A fusion of East meets West flavours that go together hand in hand.
Coffee hit the spot too, as did the dragon fruit smoothie.
The vintage decor of cafe made for a cosy and homely vibe, and the touch of greeneries dotted around added a calming touch to the atmosphere. A lovely cafe that warrants a return visit.

If you want a good coffee this is the place to go. My strong almond latte was absolutely delicious. This cafe checks the coffee quality every 2-3 hours and it works. My latte had some great milk froth and the coffee flavour was some of the best I've had in a while. Yes a big call but true.
Food wise I ordered the corn and cauliflower fritters w a side of crispy bacon. Woo hoo jackpot lol
This consisted of spiced carrot hummus, herb mushrooms, 2 perfectly poached eggs, cherry tomatoes and of course the crispy cauliflower and corn fritters. This was sooo delicious, every mouthful was so tasty! And my side of crispy bacon, OMGosh yes yes yes!! The bacon was just perfect. Crispy, flavoursome and it wasn't burnt! Yay.
My partner ordered the Siracha and maple glazed bacon dish which came with smashed avocado, lemon and coriander on sourdough toast w a perfectly poached egg. Everything was fresh, full of flavour and it was another amazing dish.
To finish I ordered a dragon fruit smoothie and this was definitely the icing on the cake. It was really cold, but not frozen, thick as you'd expect but I didn't need 2 straws or a spoon lol
This drink had so much flavour, and it was a guilty pleasure that I'd definitely have again and again.
This is definitely one of my most memorable brunch experiences in some time. Thanks to the owners for the kind invitation to visit their cafe.
This place is definitely worth a visit.
Lovely staff and chill vibe in there! Coffee is always good with delicate latte art! The food is very fresh and nicely presented. There is a spacious outdoor sitting with plenty of seats! The only thing is that the chairs and walls are slightly stained.
We ordered some breakfast, felt like the franchise had new owners. The staff were kind and respectful. The food took some time but it was fresh and delicious.
Fantastic local cafe/restaurant excellent local service that’s hard to come by. Great food and coffee. Love stopping here for lunch on my travels.
Food and coffee was delicious. Elegant seating and great service. Highly reccommend!
Was so good. Service was great and they offered to have us sit even though they were closing soon. I got the banana and raspberry bread and my mum got the fig and walnut bread. Great coffee and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate comes with a marshmallow and TINY TEDDIES! yum! Great atmosphere and so cozy
April 2021: Lovely cafe/restaurant. Coffee and cakes are delicious. Friendly service with a smile. Please drop by and say 'hello' to Jen and amazingly attentive crew. Highly recommended.
Fantastic coffee and friendly staff. Can't wait for the time to sit back and chill in the arvo with a drink in this comfy cafe. Unfortunately there's no wifi available which is surprising given the prices and they are still closing early and unreliably. That being said, it's still a great place to relax if you find the time.
A great find, delicious food and friendly, welcoming staff. Had the beef brisket which was juicy and flavoursome, topped with two perfectly poached eggs on a slice of crusty sourdough. Friend had the fried chicken burger - one which he could barely fit in his mouth and thoroughgoing enjoyed (note: comes with chips that he'd managed to devour within minutes) Sorry, started eating before remembering to whip the phone out!
