Caffe Merenda

Love this little Italian cafe. All food is home made and many items are GF. It’s not traditional breakfast fare, much more Italian and delicious. The owners very knowledgeable and careful and the food is made with love. One of my favourite places to eat in Moonee Ponds, and of course fabulous coffee too. Highly recommend

A wonderful warm Italian style cafe with homemade food that is a delight. The choices are varied, the service sublime, & the whole cafe exudes a spirit of life and laughter. The coffee is of course excellent, with multiple milk alternatives also available. The coffee had excellent body and taste, with a very pleasant aftertaste. Possibly a little cooler than Aussie coffee but I am nit picking here. Congratulations to these fine women. This cafe truly is a hidden gem in the heart of Moonee Ponds.
