Love this place! Delicious and good value. There's so many options to choose from which makes the decision process pretty hard. I always bring overseas friends here, they love it!
I had a fantastic experience at Brunetti's and highly recommend others taking the time to visit. It was quite busy when I stopped by, but managed to find a table. My family and I ordered some quick desserts, which included gelato and chocolate mud cake. The prices are quite reasonable for what you receive and the quality is amazing. The staff were all very friendly and efficient, which was a bonus.
A great place to bring tourists/visiting friends. This place is famous for their desserts and what a big range they have! My favourite is the tiramisu!
Wow what a place
Recently visited Melbourne and was recommended to visit Brunetti in Carlton.
So much cakes, the selection is massive.
Great coffee
Lots of indoor seating
We had Cannolli coffee and macaroons all great
I really enjoyed this visit
Approximate cost: $20
Dessert options are messive. Taste and quality is awesome. However, it's really crowded and hard to find a place to sit down. Definitely worth visiting.
Brunetti is amazing! Delicious cakes and desserts of the highest quality, it is difficult to just chose one. The coffee is pretty yummy too. The café has a great atmosphere, and can get very busy, so ordering can take a while. I went here three times in one weekend, so that proves how much I enjoyed dining here. Highly recommended!
Fantastic for a catch with friends although it is always very busy the coffees are great and the deserts decadent it's hard to choose what to eat
Delicious cakes but ordering can take a while. The cakes here are spot on with great selection and atmosphere to eat.
Approximate cost: $10
Great place to bring the family, love the atmosphere and there cakes and icecream is fantastic
Brunette is a good place to get a coffee, Italian hot chocolate or cake. They have a nice range of cakes.
Brunetti is a must visit when you go to Melbourne, this place is awesome. I love going to Brunetti for strong coffee and my wife likes the Italian hot chocolate.
The new Brunetti's is amazing! the actual shop fittings are fantastic! They have a restaurant section at the back for pizza and pasta which is amazing. I find the staff to be very professional and pleasant to deal with. Such a huge range of desserts and a great gelati selection. Love coming here on a Saturday night for coffee and cake but can be hard to find a table as they are very busy. Best coffee and Italian hot chocolate in Melbourne!
I found the professional manner and appearance of the staff behind the counter very pleasing, though I thought service was somewhat slower than necessary at times. The luxurious surroundings and the seating arrangement were very relaxing. I thought the cake I ordered, a Rum Baba Crema, was very good value at $4.90 for such a premium quality both of the product itself and the tableware it was served on.
Brunetti's are the masters at Italian cakes in Melbourne. The new Lygon st store is bigger and better than before, with plenty of seating and a pizza section at the back. The staff are very quick at service so you're never waiting long for your meal.
My favourite thing for breakfast is the scrambled eggs with bacon-only my dad makes better! The best drink has to be the Italian hot chocolate with cream on top. If there is just one thing you are going to get-make it the hot chocolate! Yummy gelati, biscotti and bombolini make this an absolute place to go in Melbourne.
Well, the new Brunetti cafe around the corner from the old has retained its charm, but service seems to have declined.
The atmosphere has been retained. Still our favourite place. Will miss the old one though.

Took our mothers here for a Mothers Day treat and it was divine. Their little cakes are heavenly perfected works of art that are too adorable to eat. Cannoli was amazing, coffee isn't the best unfortunately so just come for the sweets!
great cakes and great new store. Coffee is ok but the cakes are divine. The store is large and extremely busy and cakes are great as always. Highly recommended and will be going back
Went to the new location on the weekend. It is always a great thing to do with interstate visitors. The new place is huge and the selection and variety of cakes is amazing. My favourite is the Canolli,but I don't think I have tasted a bad cake from here, you can't go wrong. Coffee is always spot on. The service is pretty standard, but when you consider how busy it is, you can understand why the staff just get on with it. Would highly recommend, good luck getting a table!
They have just opened up a new store, looks fantastic, very welcoming. there is such a big range it is always hard to choose! So many traditional Italian cakes as well as other sweets.
Visiting Brunetti's from what I understand is an experience.
The cakes and pastries are beautiful. The last time we went there we had breakfast and even though was nice I would have preferred to have table service. When we wanted another coffee we had to queue for ages.
Good quality reliable cakes, made with fresh ingredients and with an italian slant. The price point is very reasonable. I would recommend ordering or purchasing their cakes.
However, I would avoid eating in store, as it is very much an open space, with hard surfaces which is terrible for acoustics. Furthermore there is no table service, you have to line up at the counter.
Tops review mate, spot on
This is the new Brunetti boutique at the Lygon Centre. Located in a prime position right inside the Lygon Centre, downstairs from Nova. The store is freshly fitted out, and features a very large display case which stretches right across the store and is in full view through the glass store frontage. Very advantageous from a publicity perspective. The Brunetti experience is now even more of a showcase than ever before and even more tempting in its new position. The cakes, coffees etc are still the same. Reliable, reasonably priced creations targeting the upper-middle market. The service could be better however. I have never been particularly fond of the order at the counter idea. It creates a feeling of a homogenous, impersonal, commercial experience.
Went there yesterday. They need to sort a few things out. Just to get a cake you have to order at one counter the walk over to another and wait a couple of minutes just for them to put it in the bag
It can also be a very busy crowded and noisy experience. Not sure whether it is because it is still new. I would advise going to get a takeaway and eating in the serenity of the nearby gardens.
great atmosphere, lovely food (bit expensive but worth the quality)
this place is absolutely MASSIVE! heaps of cakes and pastries and ice cream flavors to choose from, and their hot chocolate's pretty good too!
lots of seating (inside and out) and great vibe althroughout
Always wanted to try here but haven't as yet.
having been coming here regularly since i was a kid. always busy, and whilst sometimes you may have to wait a short while for a table, it's worth it - great atmosphere, great coffee, and of course, fabulous cakes!!
We always say we buy cake with attitude with this shop. The staff behind the counter are not always friendly. We're hoping that these reviews will get them to lift their game.
Approximate cost: $15
The food is a little pricey here, but it's yummy. And so pretty to look at. They have a display of cakes as you walk in the entrance, and then a huge display of little treats (single portions of cakes, various biscuits, little chocolates, etc). In the adjoining room, the have a cafe/restaurant where you can purchase more substantial food. Their cannelloni was excellent - the bechamel sauce is so tasty! The pizzas and sandwiches also look great.
I totally agree with you! delicious cakes although slightly expensive, but its a nice treat! :)
I have tried the cannelloni and they are so yum!
It was very busy when I went here with some friends for a coffee and cake for dessert after eating out somewhere else earlier. It took us approx 10 minutes to place our order. The staff were so friendly and provided very attentive table service.
There really is such an amazing selection of cakes, desserts and other sweet Italian treats like biscotti. I think I put on a few kg's from eating there!!!
The hot chocolate was excellent but the cappuccinos tasted very ordinary.
Approximate cost: $14
i love their cakes and macarons.
the hot chocolate is also yummy not sure about coffee as i dont drink it.
so many different variety of cakes.
The New York style cheesecake is good too!
OK, Be prepared for the best of best cakes and deserts here. The Unfortunate about it is the cost. You need a second mortgage to have a decent time here and that is a real pity. They know they are good and they know your going to pay for it, and if you can't then the doors are closed for you. Be prepared to see the odd Ferrari, Maserati or Lamborghini out front. You wanted to know how the 1% live? This is it!!!
