Cavallini has been a family favorite since it first opened many years ago. Delicious food and great coffee always greet us as well as the amazing staff who go the extra mile to make us feel welcome. A day we can visit Cavallini is a GOOD day.
Love the pork/schnitzel bagette its amazing ...great coffee too ...cakes too ...💕💕
Cavallini has been a constant comfort during lockdown. The food is always fresh and tasty, and the coffee consistently spot on customised to how we like it. The takeaway process is smooth and nothing is too much trouble for the friendly staff.
An array of cakes, pastries, focaccias and bread makes this a perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. Everything is cooked or baked fresh, and leaves you wanting more. I’ve been a regular visitor for a number of years now and my favourite go-tos are the bread - wow, perfect crunch with soft fluffy insides, the apple pie - the best in Australia, a perfect balance of sweetness and cinnamon, the custard bomba - yum yum yum, the caprese focaccia - a must have. Love visiting this place, never disappoints!
Yummy cakes including gluten free
So cosy and quaint and would be wonderful in winter
I love the decor especially the display at the back of the counter
Great attention to detail

I even got a beautiful salad for lunch to takeaway
Such a beautiful birthday cake
😋😍🤓❤️
Toby's coffee is banging. Best coffee in clifton hill! The almond croissant is good too.
If we walk past and Toby is there we get coffee. If we walk past and Toby is not there we don't get coffee.
I really enjoyed our quick coffee and Sicilian vanilla cannoli during our morning stroll. The coffees were perfect and the outside tables have overhead heating to take away some of the chill in the air. The store itself is smallish but beautiful inside in an old world way with dark timber and ornate fittings. There is a huge selection of sweets/ biscuits/ cakes to choose from as well as other nibbles that may take your fancy. Really worth the visit and we’ll be back too!

Well done to Cavallini for being open on Good Friday, popped in for some hot cross buns to go and was very impressed at how well they were made, the coffee is of a similar standard, top stuff !!

Come here regularly to get my takeaway lunch - never disappointed with their pastries, pies, baguettes or arancinis. Also does great coffees. Lacking in warm customer service though - not exactly what I'd call friendly...
Been to this place many times we love this authentic Italian place. An array of delicious cakes and pastries ... Love the white raspberry cake. Good coffee and very well priced. Try anything you won't be disappointed.
Five star food, five star service everytime from the gang at Cavalini. The pastries & desserts are delicious beyond words, coffee from the drip delicious!! Great ambiance and decor!! Love this place to bits!!!!
The sweets here are delicious. Some good choices and reasonably priced. Coffee is ok but not the best in the area. Where this cafe is let down is the service. There's never enough staff when it's busy. All in all though a consistent cafe where I think you will get what you pay for and you will find a clean table.
Delicious almond croissants as well as other sweet smelling pastries and sandwiches! Love how the locals come together and sit and have a coffee along this strip.
The almond croissant is flaky, buttery and super light! And for only $6.40, yes pls! The frangipane filling has a nice kick and perfect spice to it, but could do a bit more depth. The pastry itself was beautiful.
I loved the pork sandwich, coffee wasn't too bad either. Maybe the person behind the counter could be a bit more courteous and welcoming.
5 stars because they make the best croissants I've ever eaten. Much better than Lune and $5.30 which is quite reasonable. They've got a proper crust to them but still a buttery delicate interior. Usually I get coffee elsewhere though, it wasn't fantastic the couple of times I tried it. I didn't enjoy the quiche at all. The cheesecake was alright. The typical clientele are certainly a bit older, I wouldn't eat in here as a young person, vibes are off. Some of the staff are lovely, some seem a bit pretentious. One called me sir once which was a bit weird
So thankful to have this place as my local bakery! From the scrumptious quiches to the flaky croissants, from the satisfying cheese-loaves to the magnificent opera cakes, there's something for every occasion. The inviting and familiar atmosphere makes it a perfect meeting spot for a coffee and a bite to eat.
I moved to the area during lockdown and Cavallini have kept me strong. They only make perfect things. The bread is excellent. The croissant are world class, the apple crumble bombolone worthy of a love sonnet. And today they brought back the escargots. The best I ever tasted. The staff are friendly, but they take their work seriously. The products of their work are seriously brilliant.
Quite a good range of yummy cakes on offer here. Coffee is good as are the light meals on offer. Music won't send you running out. Seems to cater to the senior set in North Fitzroy.
Pretty good coffee. Pastries and so on look delish I didn't have them though. Maybe next time!
