This cafe positioned right in the hustle and bustle of South Melbourne. The cafe window at the front has the most beautiful desserts displayed. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed sitting out the front in the sun.
There is a great drinks menu. We enjoyed a high quality coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice to help us get through the day.
We loved the middle eastern frypan because it came with such a diverse range of food. We loved the hot pan that had in it open grilled fried eggs with Turkish soujock, tomato medley and feta. This dish also came with some olives, cucumbers and za’atar flatbread, which was a nice touch.
We enjoyed a sweet end to our meal with the Nutella bomb waffles which was topped with fried ice cream, cinnamon sugar, strawberries and hot Nutella fudge.
We enjoyed dining in here and would love to go back again.
Friendly staff and an ‘old time’ fitout make this an interesting place to visit. Good range of cakes and pastries, a good breakfast menu with some twists on the usual fair.
Good coffee and reasonable prices, well worth the visit.
Good old school feel. Great range of cakes, good coffees, Panninis, sandwiches, soups & classic fried burgers, chips etc. Something for everyone, a bit like mama making you lunch.
I have been visiting this place many times over the few years of living in this neighbourhood. They have great selection of cake and never disappoint. Coffee is pretty good as well. But I wouldn’t really invest much for lunch or dinner because then it becomes like every other place. I especially love their cheesecake . Make sure you try the baked ones .

A colleague brought an orange and lemon cake in for her birthday today which I absolutely loved. Stupid me somehow only took a photo of the box and not the cake which is really disappointing as it looked phenomenal. More importantly it tasted utterly delicious and being fruit based was not overly sweet. Thoroughly recommend
Original review
I LOVE THIS PLACE. Every type of delicious cake imaginable, macarons, slices absolutely all bases of yumminess covered. Muffin? Doughnut? Freakshake? Cupcake? BAKLAVA? You name it they've got it and it's all tasty AF. The windows are so packed with vibrant delights they will make your mouth water.
Choosing between the 20 plus cakes on display is always a challenge so best to take a friend or two so you can share a variety of options. An institution that makes all its own cakes (when was the last time you went somewhere that makes all its own cakes?!?!) and I have never had a bad experience in all my many post dinner visits.
The toffee popcorn cheesecake is 🙌🏼 and the Nutella and peanut butter ones are equally heavenly. Best of all they are opened until midnight every day of the week so can satisfy your sweet cravings all night long
Lots of choices, tasty food, friendly helpful
staff & nice atmosphere ! Pretty good value all around. Bit of an issue parking sometimes - but I was lucky this time .
With some of our regular favourites closed during queens birthday public holiday, we ventured to The old paper shop Deli, with some visiting family in tow and no one was left disappointed.
The portions are large enough to be shared between two and maybe a small mini! Everything ordered was flavourful, hot and delicious. My green eggs an ham was perfect, the men indulge in the signature breakfasts and struggled to finish their orders.
I noted that, their cabinets are laden with so many (carb overload) delights. However, it’s clear that every baguette, pastry and the like is made with pride and love.
Highly recommended for peeps wanting to go on the cheap and share a dish, to the big eaters; there is be something for all. For the celiacs or gluten sensitive; This may not be the best spot for you (they do have salads though) We will be retuning soon to taste more of their vast selection!!
Love finishing my night here with a coffee and cake. Great selection of cakes and food if your hungry but to be honest I just go for the cake. Well worth dropping in for some old school charm both in good and decor.

I like it here, it has an old school New York little Italy feel to it even though it doesn't serve Italian food. The staff are friendly, the place is always busy but not overly packed. Coffee has a nice kick to it, an integral part of Clarendon St
My rating is based purely on coffee and service. This place is heaven open all hours and make the BEST COFFEE. Service is always good, cafe is always busy so that’s a great sign. Operating hours are fantastic as l love a coffee anytime of the day or night.
If you are having a late night coffee craving try this place it’s worth it.
You come here for the cakes and the huge hearty breakfasts the coffee and the friendly staff. I’ve been coming here for almost 2 decades and I have never written a review. I always thought that everyone would just walk past and look at the cakes and dive on in which is exactly what I do. On having said that the cakes are absolutely better to taste than they look and the breakfast will fill you up all day. Highly recommend
This is the cutest little cafe/restaurant/cake shop ever. All the cakes are home made and absolutely delicious and even though I have yet to try them all they're such a sweet treat. All the workers are absolutely lovely and anytime I need something sweet I just come here. They do serve lunch and other food as well, so if you don't enjoy sweets that's not your only option. Their menu has a pretty good range of lunch and breakfast options, and so far all the food we've had has been delicious. If you're visiting South Melbourne I recommend you come here first!
Came for the cake. So many options and had 4 different cakes so far and very happy. The recent one was flourless coffee cake. I finished the whole lot, no sharing 😄 the mucake and the orange almond muffins were divine too! Not too sweet just the right taste.
On a lovely Sunday afternoon, my partner and I took my daughter out for a walk down to South Melbourne. We came across this beautiful cafe displaying lots of yummy cheese cakes in the front window. It was so overwhelming as I haven't had cheesecake for a long time. I ended up buying over $50 worth of cakes to take home. The cakes were very fresh and delicious. I will be back next Sunday for more! 😂
Great shop in south Melbourne with a huge variety of deserts. The staff were super friendly and my cheesecake were amazing. They also have a good variety of wraps and brunch and pastries. I am gonna come back for sure.
