Bertoncello Cafe And Bar — Restaurant in Melbourne

Imagine if heaven had a cozy little corner with the most delicious pastries, perfectly brewed coffee, and a vibe that instantly makes you feel like you're hanging out with old friends. THAT is this cafe. I swear, every time I walk in, I’m greeted by the kind of warmth you only find in the arms of a fluffy puppy—or in a grandma's kitchen, but with way cooler music.

Let’s talk about the coffee. It’s not just coffee; it’s liquid magic. I have no idea what kind of wizardry Michael is using in that espresso machine, but I’m convinced he puts a bit of love, a dash of fairy dust, and a touch of happiness in each cup. Every sip is like a hug to my soul.

And those pastries? OH MY GOODNESS. They are so good that I’m pretty sure they’re breaking the laws of physics by existing. I honestly can’t decide if I want to eat them all or just admire them as art.

The staff (Michael's beautiful family) are always smiling like they’ve just won the lottery, and honestly, I can’t blame them—if I worked there, I’d be smiling too, surrounded by perfection. They’ve got this effortless charm that makes you feel like you're not just a customer, you're family.

In short, this cafe is my happy place. I would live there if they’d let me. Until then, I’ll just keep coming back every chance I get and recommend it to absolutely everyone-who i like :). Go. Go right now. You’ll...

Went there as I had an appointment in area had to wait a while thought I’d try the cafe, for the first time . The girl was serving someone else taking their time and not once acknowledged me or said be with you soon .When I did finally attend to order I had to ask , “Is this the menu “ she .”replied yes “, no assistance or can I help you . While looking at the menu another young lady came in and said can I help you I replied just deciding , I decided not to order and said thank you as I left the first girl laughed and the other joined her .Not sure where they did their customer service training from especially the first girl I encountered.I would not step foot in this place again after...

Bertoncello is the I–V–vi–IV progression of cafes. Ambient warm soft lighting, blends with jazz tunes that accent the absolutely perfect coffee every time. I've been coming here for the last 10 years and there is a reason why this place retains such a loyal fan base in a suburb of ever changing cafes. Set in the cool trees lined walkway of Sparta Place, Bertoncello's tables perfectly situated under trees. There is a European sensibility of openness, shared by the owner and staff, the cafe itself and patrons alike. Don't forget to try the incredible raisin toast. Lastly, this beautiful Cafe is a family-run business that cares about its customers. - Hamish John Appleby // APPLEBY...
