Beautiful white interior, very European style.
This place can get really busy on weekends so do try to arrive early or you might have to wait!
Personally I think the food is a bit pricey but they use good produce so it’s worth it!
Via Porta is a very busy little cafe and usually has a line out the door. We were initially seated at the bar to order coffees and food before being moved to a table upstairs.
Unfortunately, our coffee order was not put through properly and we didn't get them until we queried it.
The French toast was the standout with a good balance of creamy and sweet. We were asked if we wanted milk with the granola which is quite unusual for a cafe. However, the granola is quite dry as there is only a smear of ricotta, so we did need the milk. If so many people are asking for milk, perhaps the kitchen should consider adding yoghurt. The sourdough is quite dense and chewy (even for sourdough), I would ask for multigrain next time.
We found the service downstairs was quite aloof and a bit snappy. I understand it is busy but a smile goes a long way. The young man upstairs was great and very apologetic over our missed coffees which was not his fault. Overall we think the service standard let down a very good kitchen.
