Vespa Rossa - Kurunjang

Newly refurbished and funky cafe/restaurant serving great New Zealand coffee and tasty Mediterranean food right in the heart of the city.Have eaten here twice now and can't fault the food, service or atmosphere. This venue is great for a laid back breakfast or a casual lunch. The restaurant is busy but not bustling and you never feel like you are being hurried. The food is fresh, generous serves and good value for money; staff are brilliantly efficient and professional. Will definitely go back..

Quite an impressive place! Having been here a couple of times now, I 'm intrigued by the vibe and atmosphere, soaking in the true coffee culture of Melbourne as soon as you step through the door. Don 't be fooled by the small entrance at Kaikey 's Lane this cafe expands beautifully out towards the back and comfortably seats many people, although it can get a little loud when lots of people are present (may not be an ideal first date location, unless you can arrange the back room section . Service is impeccable extremely polite and attentive, but not in your face or over the top . Absolutely perfect and friendly, whilst remaining genuine. And food service times are great too not overly long or too short either. The coffee is incredible (as noted in other reviews too doesn 't require any sugar/sweetener at all, so try that before adding any. The barista knows what they 're doing. Food quality is amazing too, speaking on behalf of breakfasts. I 've now tried their 'special ' pancakes (to die for and their Big Melbourne Breakfast (eggs slightly over poached, but not terribly detrimental, otherwise the meal was amazing and of excellent portion size and great value for money, contrary to another review . The menu is wide and varied, and I can 't wait to return to try other specialties such as the paella, Danish feta and marinara, in order to truly experience the European/Mediterranean flavour this cafe has to offer. Enjoy, this is a real gem within Block Lane. :

Saw some recent marketing on insta about their $1 coffee and gave it a try this morning. Absolutely amazing coffee- worth even the full price. I ordered coffee for my entire team and we all enjoyed our coffees equally. Our orders included flat whites, lattes, cappuccinos and mochas! Great work! Will be back for more :

I had a strong skinny latte here. The service was really friendly, and the service good. But it was the cakes and sweets that I wanted hahahaha, they looked amazing, caramel, lemon meringue etc... Luckily I kept myself nice lol and I managed to get out of their w just a coffee hahahaha This is a nice little part of melb for tourists and locals alike.

Six of us enjoyed a Saturday breakfast here. Compared to most cafes in the cbd it's pretty spacious inside and that was a plus . I had poached eggs in toast with mushrooms, eggs cooked perfectly, the Zaatar was had by 3 and enjoyed, the vegetarian and also the Spanish breaky . No complaints. Great service and would return .
