Came there today looking for the famous l
Lamingtons.
I googled the best in Melbourne and this place came up. Unfortunately they are no longer made but I did pick up and slice of carrot cake with cream cheese icing and boy was it good.
So moist and soft, I shared it my mother inlaw and bf and they were amazed. Said it's the best carrot carrot cake they've tasted.
Pity with the Lamingtons but I do hope you make them again while I frantically find another Lamington that's one of the best in Melbourne .
Been my local for a little while now. I make my own toasties at home but the ones they do here are the Usain Bolt of sandwiches. The coffees are also the ultimate CPR after a big night out. Bon Appétit !
Possibly my favourite place to get a coffee and something to eat in Carlton North. As a self confessed toasty aficionado, I can tell you that you haven't experienced toasty heaven until you've tried one from rathdowne deli. My personal favourite is ham, cheese and pickles. I also come here time and time again because the staff are so friendly and helpful. The guy with the man-bun makes a fantastic coffee and everyone there has always provided me excellent service! If you haven't been you're missing out!
We're here frequently for tea and croissants (best tea in the area by far). The service is mostly hit with one particular character quite a miss with simple rudeness: the only detraction from a great place. Highly recommend the takeaway dinners
A relaxing place where you can sit down and enjoy a light snack and coffee. They have newspapers and magazines on the table, which is great if you're dropping by alone. The lamingtons here are amazing! They're made in house several times a day, and if you happen to come in right after they're freshly dipped then you're in for a real treat!
Relaxing with a great choice of delicacies. There's something about this place that is just so relaxing and lovely. Though their menu is not as extensive as other cafes in the locality, their coffee is enjoyable and their toast, croissants with jam and other menu items well priced. They also have a changing array of goodies on display daily.
Perhaps it's the staff that make this place somewhere I love coming back to for some much needed time out from the hubbub to relax with a coffee and the paper.
Fantastic place.
Delicious!!!. Came across this deli purely by accident and ordered the most delicious toasted 'giant' sandwich. Unique ingredients, fresh and full of flavour. Great atmosphere and the ladies that work in there are awesome - I think they have had it about a year now??? You have to try the salted caramel milkshake and the homemade cakes, slices etc. are sooo good... They have a great selection of meats too and quirky deli items for any special occasion. I am hooked and now a regular.
Great little find!. Such a lovely place to relax and have a bite to eat and a drink - salted caramel donuts, salted caramel milkshakes, gourmet sandwiches... then try and walk out without buying something from the delicious deli range!
A quite place to get lunch. Although there is a reasonably large selection of toasted sandwiches and rolls to choose from, the food here is pretty basic...saying that I enjoy coming here every now and again, as the owner is lovely and loves to have a chat, and i can read the paper while I wait for my sandwich to toast. It's a nice get a away from the busy rathdowne cafes
When I first walked into Rathdowne Deli, it was like walking into my grandfather's shop. I was cheerfully greeted by the owner, an old school Aussie who's always happy to have a chat and remembers all his regular customers. I found shelves on the right that housed select brands of condiments, pasta, muesli, biscuits and other products that you might not find in your regular supermarket. Right at the back are benches where you can sit down to have a coffee and a bite while reading the paper, relaxing and pondering what to do with the rest of your day. In fact the owners and/or employees are very likely to sit down and have their home cooked lunch right next to you. On the wall by those benches are a few collages of old family photos you'd be very likely spend some time looking at. And mo
This is one of the best Cafés that I have been in a while for far. I am not used to write a review because usually I am in a rush. I discovered this place in the same way - running from one point to another. But, once in a while you take your time and enjoy what's in front of you. Specially the beautiful and fresh sandwichs!!
The team is highly professional, polite, friendly and efficient and every time that I come here my order is ready in a few minutes.
Highly recommend the Mortadella sandwich - hopefully you can order it when it's being made in front of you!
I'll keep coming back for sure
Might look like your average cafe/ deli, but Rathdowne village delicatessen is anything but!
I stopped by a few saturdays ago for breakfast, and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. It was about 10am very busy place yet the service and waiting time was still amazing!! Would highly recommend the toasties 😋 will definitely be returning!!
Delicious ready to go sandwiches and rolls. Like the Reuben and meatball.
I love when I walk into a positively heaving deli as my eyes widen, scanning at every corner to ensure I do not miss a mere morsel. Cheese, small goods, breads, cans of yummy foods from the corners of the globe. You are greeted by the smells of the tomato sauce for the homemade lasagne as it bubbles on the stove just over the counter and now comes the dilemma, what should I order, what can I choose when I want it all and my taste buds are busting with excitement? The door opens and more people pour in attracted by the smiles of the staff and the knowledge they will partake in this delectable feast. I bet you will not be able to walk in and leave empty handed.....
This is my favourite cafe! I go here at least once a week and bring everybody I know. All of the food is so delicious (especially the prosciutto roll) and the staff are lovely. Good prices too!!!! 10/10 love it
Some of the best quality service and food I’ve ever had, they have a wide range of Italian goods which i love and a ridiculous amount of high quality meats. If your in the area it’s well worth stopping off. Great job guys!!
