Good coffee and pastries.
I got a large skim milk cappuccino takeaway, I could not resist the Vanilla custard slice in the cabinet so I grabbed two of those for later. Dammit I should have grabbed more! 

Parking
Well if you are in the Deakin area AND need a snack I recommend this place, just adjacent to the Shell servo.

I have attended 2 different events where the catering was provided by Cafe D’lish. Their sandwiches and cheese platters were delicious, fresh and quality ingredients. Amazing local cafe & catering service to support.

Absolutely love this cozy little spot! Everything I’ve tried has been incredibly tasty—seriously, I can’t get enough! The prices are beyond reasonable for the location too.

Can’t wait to come back and indulge in more of their treats and meals. Plus, the staff is super friendly, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend checking this place out! 🍽️✨

Around 5pm I went here and I ordered a beef+mushroom with cream sauce pie and a cup of latte. The pie was nicely hot and very delicious, latte smelled so good and tasted smooth. Very happy to be here 🙂
