Cafe Tesorina

The coffee was smooth and well-made. The brekkie roll was fresh, filling, and delicious. Staff were warm and attentive, making the experience even better. Overall, an excellent spot I’d happily return to.

It wasn’t planned at all .. my coffee craving kicked in and I just randomly stepped into this little café near Royal Children’s Hospital. We didn’t order much, and we couldn’t stay long either, but I have to say that the short time we spent there left a lovely impression. The staff were smiling, kind, and genuinely welcoming. I think that makes all the difference. When the coffee is served with warmth, it just hits better. It’s not always about the perfect roast or the latte art — sometimes, it’s that quiet kindness in the atmosphere that stays with you. If you’re ever heading around that part of Melbourne, this spot is definitely worth pulling over for. Peaceful little corner, perfect for a quick recharge.

Lovely little cafe in Parkville. Generous serving sizes, good vegan and non-vegan options. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Food came quickly. Highly recommended.

I really wanted to like Cafe Tesorina, but my experience was disappointing. I ordered both a hot and an iced coffee and handed over my loyalty card, only to be told they "don’t stamp for iced drinks." At first I thought it was a joke - especially since the iced coffee was more expensive than the hot one. It felt unnecessarily stingy... On top of that, my piccolo was charged the same as the full-sized coffee with an extra shot, which to me was most unusual, as most places around the area price them a little lower. The restroom situation was also frustrating. The main lock doesn’t work, and instead there’s some smudged masking tape instructing you to use the door handle lock. It’s very easy to miss, and I unfortunately learned this the hard way when someone opened the door. A clearer sign, or better yet fixing the lock, would avoid a very embarrassing situation. All in all, not the ideal spot for me. In my view, other nearby cafes offer a warmer vibe, better value, and friendlier service.

A great cafe away from the hustle and bustle of the local hospital. Well worth the 500m walk if you're able to get a park near the hospital. Saw this cafe while driving for parking around the nearby Royal Melbourne Hospital. Had a nice coffee and breakfast roll.

Lovely service, atmosphere and food. A bit of a quirky and cosy feel with art work, plants and exposed brick walls. My breakfast was delicious - perfect balance of mushrooms, winter greens and mashed white beans. And a generous pot of tea.

Packed when I visited on a Tuesday afternoon which is always a great sign. The vibe is really cute, the food is nice and wholesome yet hearty and the staff are nice. I tried the spinach and goats cheese omelette special which was fresh and well sized for the price. Coffee is also good!

LOVED IT! On a sunny Saturday afternoon, we couldn't Dreams of à better place to have a coffee. 😄The team greeted us with a warm and friendly welcome. 🫖The Chai was deliciously infused and nicely presented. 🍪The date scones were just wonderful! A perfect moment in Parksville, thank you!
