I went to Umberto on the way to RMIT bundoora. This little gem in Thornbury is run by the Italians who knows and love coffee.They're featured in quite a few cheap eats guides ( including The Age 2011) which is how I discovered them. This is the first time I discovered Grappa an Italian drink. They specialise in coffees and espressos and they have not much food on the menu.
The setting is quite nice and homely. There is a courtyard, but seeing as it was cold I didn't feel like going there.
Here they use Genovese coffee. I had a long black which was flowery and a little bit bitter.But it was strong and invigorating.
They do breakfasts and I had a simple breakfast of avocado and tomato on toast with a little bit of lemon on the side. It was lovely.
I have to agree with The Age about the mind blowing desserts. They also do really lovely mind blowing desserts. Here I had a lovely gourmet panna cotta for $10. Here they were like the ones from My Kitchen Rules where it was mind blowing as they would say. yum its like heaven.
The almond bread was nice too.
Come here for the coffees not the food. I recommend that all Bundoora students visit here on one of their two hour breaks.
