Cannoli Bar — Restaurant in Melbourne

The Cannoli Bar is a hidden, delicious, historic gem! Hidden away in a small, residential street surrounded by triple fronted brick veneers built mostly in the 50's and 60's, it looks like it was originally built as a local milkbar to serve people within walking distance when supermarkets didn't really exist as we know them now and few people had cars. We visited on a late afternoon weekday, shortly before closing, and managed to get the last table available. It's a tiny Cafe with limited seating selling traditional Cannoli, coffee, and a small menu of Sicilian light meals and snacks, like Nonna used to make. They have won awards for the best Cannoli, and they deserve it. We bought a selection and they were super fresh, light and crispy and full of flavour. Beautifully presented and decorated. My favourite by far was the traditional ricotta one. Just the right amount of tangy lemon zest, not too sweet and freshly filled just before serving. Absolutely delicious! Our coffees went perfectly with them. The decor is very 50-60's, Laminex tables, orange vinyl seats, the prints on the walls, lighting etc. A very homey atmosphere, especially in the tiny side room. A tiny, nostalgic trip with yummy food! Staff are really friendly, explaining the choices and smiling as they brought our treats to the table. There is limited seating inside, as well as a few tables outside. Expect to get takeaway if you visit when they are really busy, which I suspect is most...

Best cannoli I've ever had. Magnificent. Coffee is good. Everything is freshly made and very hard choosing! Will have to come back. Not a table service cafe, you need to order at counter but team is friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone that loves Italian sweets and pastries and pizza.

• 29.10 Allergy update *** I have to add this Update. On the 13th Oct I ordered 6 vegan canolis after being assured there was no egg products. A family member is allergic to eggs. I was assured in the insta communication and in person by chef. This family member took 2 bites and had a reaction. They were really sick all night. I text the store the next day to let them know about it however never heard back. Some people choose vegan food as a lifestyle choice. Othes have no choice and eat vegan to avoid ingredients that are like poison to their bodies. If you have intolerances or are allergic I wouldn't recommend these "vegan" products. Luckily my family member isn't anaphylactic. I dropped a star. I hope these matters are taken extremely seriously to avoid someone being sick or worst case if anaphylactic a...

Cannoli Bar in Avondale heights has been on my mind to visit from the day I heard about it!

I decided to take the drive and pick up some delicious cannoli. Honestly it was freaking amazing, I could not rate it any higher! The shell was so crispy and fresh and had the perfect filling. I’m an OG ricotta kinda gal and this place hit the spot!! We tried a range of their other “special” flavours including blueberry cheesecake, tiramisu and almond with the fave being the tiramisu! I absolutely can’t wait to go back to try their other custards and pistachio! 🫶🏼

I would have gotten more but I didn’t see the freshly piped cannoli menu till after ordering and I’d already ordered the three in the display 😂! Obviously the ones in the display didn’t have the same crispy shell but nonetheless they were yummy!

The shop reminds me of my nonnas house, it’s so dainty and gorgeous! The food looked incredible so I can’t wait to come dine for lunch next time and have some arrancini and...
