Review Trivelli Pasticceria - Coburg

Thank you to the team at Trivelli’s for going above and beyond to help my hubby arrange a continental cake for my birthday. He drove from St Kilda and they made a special call to bring in the cake decorator and create a cake without notice. And it was delicious!

First time trying Trivelli as not a local in the area. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. Cakes were nice but unfortunately custard in one of them was sour. Quite pricey too, compared to other Italian cake shops in Melbourne.

ordered cannoli as part of the birthday celebration .. order was for 10am.. waited in line outside shop.. over 45 mins people then started going in from back of line with orders... who just turned up.. got served... I then get in there at 11:25 my order count not be found... so after 1 hr and 40 mins after my scheduled collection time.. cannoli were ok .. chocolate does were not crunchy... needs to be organised better... below photo shows the ludicrous line...

Love everything about Trivelli's. Amazing biscuits and cakes, lovely coffee and fabulous staff - they always make me feel so welcome. It's one of those shops where you go in, planning to buy a couple of things but come out with your arms full of wonderful things.

Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous staff and coffee...and cakes mmmmm yummmmmmm

Cannolis and donuts were pretty good. Staff was very nice, excellent service.

A wonderful store offering the most delicious authentic Italian sweets, and some very yummy savoury options also. Its remained a personal favourite for many decades :)

Cakes might be nice but so overpriced !!!! In a normal Italian cake shop a standard cake is $2.50-$3…. Trivelli will charge you double! What a joke. Shop around guys.

Absolutely brilliant! !!! Genuine, authentic Italian sweets xxxxx Dearly thank you for mum's special birthday cake Red grace kelly bag She didn't want to slice it up!!!!!! � If i could give you 10/5 I would. The care. Tge patience. The thoughtfulness. Very very very rare these days xxxx

Ordered a cake for my daughter's Christening and is was just incredible. Delicious, beautiful, reasonably priced. The staff spent time with me when I ordered it to help me decide what I wanted. I've never had so many comments on a cake I've bought before!

Beautiful Italian cakes !!! The ricotta cannoli are my favourite

trivelli cake shop is the one place in melbourne where the sweets take you back to the flavors of italy. Go in an spoil your taste buds!!!!!

I grew up in it!

Im looking forward to your cannoli special!!!!!!! yuummmmm!!!!

Came in to purchase one of the pizzas (which I had been eyeing off all week haha) sadly the 3 staff were all huddled together looked at me and continued not to serve. As a fellow retail worker I don’t complain but was pretty shocked. 10:10am 04/06/20

Hands down, the best cannoli I've tried in Melbourne. We also tried the custard donut, which was perfext - very fresh and fluffy with a generous filling. The staff are also lovely - very patient and friendly. This is a very special, traditional cake shop that I could not recommend more.

Beautiful little patisserie on busy Sydney road coburg. The quality is always fantastic, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the taste never disappoints. Cannoli’s are delicious but the doughnuts are the highlight.

I've always been very interested to go to this shop for years and finally happen to pass by.<br/>I bought mini cakes and biscuits. They were all looked beautiful and tasty💖<br/><br/>Placed lovely sweets on plate at home and soon boys ate all except short bread.<br/>It was slight moist and not sugary. It will be great with tea.<br/>I will buy some more and share with my parents.

I have been here three times. My first two were so disappointing. I left it a few months because I convinced myself maybe I was just unlucky. After today, I will never go back. <br/><br/>My family love doughnuts and we are not that fussy. But these were, for the third time, inedible and disgusting. <br/><br/>They were completely raw in the middle and you could stretch the dough like bread dough. I’m not sure the photo I have put does it justice. I am not one to complain but these doughnuts left my family sick to out stomachs. <br/><br/>On the outside these big Nutella and jam doughnuts look incredible. But at $4.60 each, you would expect them to be cooked. <br/><br/>Awful. <br/>

What a shame it is that this little corner store isn’t a bit bigger. It’s really the only negative thing I can think of. Nowadays we all seem to want somewhere we can sit in, chat and have a coffee while we whittle away the equity in our homes. This place isn’t really suited to that and I think it suffers for it. It’s definitely an order and leave set up. Back in the day it would have been ideal but now it’s kind of stuck in the early 90s. That being said, the service here is as good as it gets. Friendly staff who genuinely care about you having a good experience. The shop is cluttered but very clean. The cannoli here is the best in all of the northern suburbs hands down, and trust me I’ve tried them all many times!! The coffee is strong but very nice. There’s no hipster swans in the foam but it’s high quality none the less. The donuts aren’t really anything special if you ask me but they certainly aren’t bad. There’s a nice variety of cakes as well so there really is something for everyone. With a few other patisserie style places around like oheas or the Greek cake shops up the road it’s easy to see why this little place is overlooked. It shouldn’t be though. The cakes that come out of here are certainly far superior to anything else around.

This is the home of the perfect cannoli! Absolutely delightful range of Italian cakes and pastries and hot and strong coffee. The staff here are so nice and helpful in every way possible.

Now I understand why my partner stops me from entering a patisserie or bakery; I am like a kid left alone in a chocolate shop. I eat with my eyes instead of my stomach or brain. After buying $38 worth of cannoli and such, I'm sure I'm all set for the week. It's pricey but it's oh so delicious. The crunch from the shell of the cannoli and the custard that oozes out - that's bliss. The little cornetto cones are deadly - you can't stop at just one. One thing that caught my eye that will make me return is the coffee and cake deal for $5.50. The slice of cake is a lovely slab of art. And the ladies behind the counter have the patience of saints - trust me, I push people's patience to the limit when faced with decision-making about what pastries/sweets to buy.

"...FABULOUS AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PASTICCERIA..."<br/><br/>I don't get to Sydney Road often, but when I do...like today...I must get cakes at TRIVELLI PASTICCERIA in Coburg....<br/><br/>There are 3 MUST HAVES..!! <br/>1. Ricotta Pasticci - beautiful creamy citrus scented ricotta filling inside a multi-layered crisp light pastry dusted with icing sugar <br/>2. Cannoli - we love the custard filled ones - especially the vanilla custard - and the shells are always fresh, and always crisp <br/>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 wet dough texture, fabulous aroma and gorgeous flavour - just so delicious, both warm and cold.<br/><br/>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..<br/><br/>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..and that's certainly saying something....!!<br/><br/>Visited on the afternoon of Sunday 20/09/2015 for cakes to take home.

Dry continental sponge. I've always been of fan if this bakery, however I was extremely disappointed with my sons birthday cake. The sponge was very dry and the usually yummy custard was barely visible.! <br/>Last cake I'm getting from here.

Trivelli Cakes is a family run Italian cakes shop and patisserie that’s been operating for over 40 years. It’s not trying to be on trend or do anything “exciting” – it’s just doing the same thing it’s always done. Traditional Italian cakes and pastries of the highest quality.

Giant canoli. We ordered a giant canoli for my husbands son's 21st birthday. Not only was it visually magnificent it tasted devine! Best canoli EVER.

Unbelievable doughnuts. Wow, wow, these doughnuts are unbelievable. Really yeasty and dense and just sensational. I bought a mixed box of items, and I'm so glad I chose the mini doughnuts filled with a cream with a little bit of jam on top. Next time I'd love to try the ones filled with nutella. The cannoli were very good. I prefer the non-ricotta filled ones but bought a sample of the piped cream ones and ricotta ones for comparison purposes. They are everything cannoli should be - thin, crisp pastry and smooth creamy filling which isn't overly sweet. They're really good, but I know what I'm going back for - the doughnuts.

I'm eating their cannoli now. I haven't eaten as many cannolis in my life as I wanted to. Part of that is because my Xwife was a fanatic about how cannolis had to be fresh, or they shouldn't be eaten at all. Therefore, for 10 years of food-rule obsessed matrimony, I rarely got take-home Italian pastry flutes. Uno by uno, though, I'm making up for lost time. That's why I got a chocolate one from Trivelli on a pushbike-riding day across the northern suburbs.<br/><br/>And I didn't eat it right at the bakery. I pedalled around all afternoon with it in my backpack, bouncing around, subject to temperature changes, all sorts of non-freshening things. Just because I could, with no bitching! When I ate it at home with coffee from my Italian machine, it was still good. Crisp crunch to the shell. I prefer ricotta filling in cannolis, but Trivelli pipes in cream instead. It was softly chocolicious. Next time I go to Trivelli, I'm going to get TWO cannolis and bring them home and leave them in the fridge for a couple of days before I eat them. Just because I can!

Fantastic cakes and biscuits. Best in Melbourne.

Doesn't disappoint. The best Italian baked cheesecake ever!!!

The BEST roman donuts around. Forget Brunettis & the fancy italian cafes -I'm from Perth & come especially for these when I'm in town. The custard is delicious & the dough is really beautiful & light with a lovely sugary crunch! They used to make really good authentic cannoli but I think they've changed, I prefer Cavallaro's now.

While staff are sometimes not the most friendly, their sweets are incredible. As an Italian who knows what traditional sweets should taste like, I can't recommend Trivelli enough.

Trivelli Cakes is a long time family owned business where the pride and passion is evident the minute you step into their traditional store. The staff are all so very helpful and will talk you through their whole range. The owners are very talented and will help create you a wonderful master piece on your special occasion. Their 'cartocci' huge custard doughnuts are trully amazing and if you are fortunate to get a hold of their generously filled jam doughnuts you won't want to share this with anyone, even though you probably should!

The cakes and biscuits are incredible, but the service can be somewhat lacking. Not loving the $20 minimum to use eftpos either, especially when you have to give the guy behind the counter a crash course in operating the eftpos machine. If it weren't for the excellent cannoli and other delicious things, I'm not so sure I'd go back.

'Local Heroes' is the first in an occasional series aimed at showcasing local food and produce suppliers in the suburb where I live - Coburg. It's intended to be an antidote to continual focus on eastern suburbs in food articles such as this . Honestly, w
