"Food was excellent as was the coffee, service, atmosphere and staff."
"We ordered 2 coffees, fruit toast, and a slice of carrot cake."
"There are a lot of food options that look delicious for breakfast or brunch!"
5 Such a great cafe! Ample seating, with tables outside the front, indoor front section, indoor middle section as well as a courtyard out back. We had a nice day to sat out back. Staff were lovely and accomodating. The coffee was brilliant, and the food was just as good. We ordered the Sugo Pot & Fresh Avocado and both are highly recommended. Before we left, we were planning the next time we’d come back!
5 We had a delicious lunch at this beautiful cafe yesterday - both the toasted sandwich and the croissant were perfect, as were the coffees and hot chocolates......the place is beautifully decorated, alot bigger than it looks, great room out the back and a large, lovely courtyard for better weather. Service was lovely, well done, we will be back. Totally recommended!
5 Great new cafe in our neighbourhood with street, courtyard and indoor seating available. Amazing coffee and very delicious avo toast. Anything on display looked very tempting too. We'll be back.
5 A small (or better yet, petite) French-style cafe with Parisian vibes and delicious food! I got their French Toast and it was by far the best I’ve had in Melbourne yet, and was reminiscent of the traditional French toast my mother used to make. The coffee was brewed well, was strong and rich with flavour and tasted good quality! There are a lot of food options that look delicious for breakfast or brunch! I’ll definitely be coming back— it has the potential to be my newest go-to cafe in the area.
4 Coffee is good and food options on the menu are varied and tasty. Have been three times in the last couple months and can vouch for the smashed avocado and Sugo pot. My friends enjoyed the pittas, one with lamb and the other with prosciutto, as well as the triple cheese brioche. Nice cafe addition for the locals.
5 Exceptional lovely new cafe in Rosanna. The locals love it! Professional friendliest owner and kind staff, The food also delicious with locally sourced ingredients. They now have bonsoy for their great coffee! Lovely courtyard out the back. Thank you for the best customer service, and the kindest message this morning on my coffee cup!
5 Many Thanks to the Team at Petite Fille. Today I had breakfast there with my son and it was absolutely sensational! If you are looking for a great venue, with great food and wonderful ambience then look no further! We will definitely be back!
5 My new favourite cafe! Food was delicious, the staff working were all very friendly and relaxed. The vibe of the cafe was really nice. Best thing about it was the proper knife for my toast, not just a butter knife! Highly recommend. Will be back.
