T. Cavallaro & Sons

I call this place the Institute of Sicilian Cultural Studies! The pastries and the people are real gems. One of the best cafe/sweet shops in Melbourne, certainly in the West

I always go back for the cannoli which are quite large and freshly piped so the crust doesn't get soggy. The women who usually serve me are lovely, and I love the interior which probably hasn't changed much since it opened decades ago. So much charm. The biscuits are good too, and I can never leave without a packet of crostoli

Ordered all flavors of Cannoli for takeway: Chocolate, Vanilla and Ricotta. The ricotta filling was the best. Creamy, tasty and delicate filling encased inside a magnificently crunchy pastry shells. The choco and vanilla custard were in perfect balance, not overly sweet. Almost could not believe how could such a delicious sweets exist.

Are you looking for freshly piped Sicilian style cannolis and biscuits? Well, look no further! With three types of fillings to choose from: ricotta (my favourite), chocolate and vanilla - there is a cannoli to please everyone's palate. At 5 dollars each, this is excellent value. Every bite is just as good as the last. Satisfy your sweet tooth cravings and head down for traditional Italian sweets run by a super friendly and lovely Italian lady

Did you know the best cannoli in Melbourne comes from a store in Footscray that has been open since the 1950's? If you didnt know this, you need to get educated.This is my go to when I'm in Footscray. I stop off here and ask for some cannoli which they do on site so you're not getting off the shelf stuff. I love the ricotta filled ones but the chocolate and vanilla ones are also spectacular.Service is friendly and authentic, run by the family. This place is so Melbourne.

My dad used to love coming here in good old days great family business well deserved success to Tony and his sons God bless

A family owned and run business supplying our family traditional Sicilian sweets for three generations. Do yourself a favour and try their fresh ricotta or custard cannoli and their delicious amaretti biscuits.

By far the worst coffee I have had since moving to Melbourne a year ago. The coffee was over extracted, and tasted like some of the grinds made it into the cup, and to top it off, it was scalding hot! too hot to carry in the take away cup.I have walked passed this place so many times, thinking it looked nice, I won't be tempted again.
