Mietta's Review
Pram pushers paradise in North Fitzroy. Chairs i the window for kids, cafe food at appropriate prices (mains $11.50) good coffee, lots of biscuits and cakes ($2.50-$6.50). This laminex tabled cafe is very much part of its neighbourhood.
Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "With emphasis on community, quality and kitsch furniture, this little corner store is more homely dining room than cool caff"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "Back-home Italy meets retro kitsch at this homely corner store - one of the friendliest in Melbourne. Religious images intermingle with '50s furniture and Dean Martin might provide the stereo soundtrack."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 The cafe as community photo album, that's the feel at this neighbourly eatery, where collages of happy snaps line the walls. Scan for familiar faces as you start the day
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "THIS is where Fitzroy North's past and future mingle in a present of formica tables, photofilled walls and platefuls of hearty home-made fare."
The Age Cheap Eats 2004 "HUNDREDS of family photos line the walls of the corner Store, the menu is scrawled on butcher's paper and children perch on chairs at the window. This is not a fussy foodie zone"
The Foodies' Guide 2004,Allan Campion & Michele Curtis,''I'm just popping down to the corner store. 'Again?' That's the average conversation in this part of town.And why wouldn't you pop down when they have such yummy breakfasts, top soups, sangers and hot dishes churning effortlessly from the kitchen?"
The Age, 11.12.01, Matt Preston review "...it's a long time since I have seen focaccias that inspired such lust in me...Each fat wedge of bread is different...slices of sweet pumpkin, mushies, spinach and a Cradle Mountain blue vein cheese...four heavy-headed stalks of asparagus topped with the rounded, virgin purity of pert, white bocconcini."
Herald Sun, City Style, For richer,for poorer, 17/6/2003, 'Fantastic breakfast and a good mix of lunch options at an affordable price.'
