About Mela Patisserie
Mela Patisserie is a café and patisserie in Coburg, Victoria, set inside the Pentridge precinct, and it does a bit more than the usual cabinet of sweet things. The pastries, cakes and desserts are made daily from scratch, both sweet and savoury, and the savoury side gets as much talk as the sweet.
The pies are a good place to start. One local raved about a beef and Shiraz pie with tender meat and plenty of flavour, and sausage rolls and butter pastry come up too. The croissants, brownie cake and apple tea cake are called out by people who've been in, and there's a spread of tarts, cookies, chocolates and slices for sale as well. Seating is limited, so a short wait at busy times isn't unusual, though the people we've heard from thought it was worth it. Locals also say the staff are friendly, and the value is considered fair.
Custom celebration cakes are a real strength. We've heard about a 50th birthday cake that looked fantastic and tasted even better, with guests asking where it came from, and a tiramisu wedding cake that had people going back for seconds. They also take catering orders and run a proper high tea, which suits a family catch-up or a birthday.
For dietary needs, gluten-free and vegan options are available, though one visitor who avoids dairy found many of the pastries contain cheese, so ask the team what suits you. One customer felt the pastries could be flakier, and another found the coffee a touch burnt on one visit.
You can dine in, grab takeaway, pick up in store, or have orders delivered. There's free street parking, and the entrance and car park are wheelchair accessible. Hours run across the whole week, so check them before you head in, particularly if you're after a seat for high tea.
