DOC Espresso

Just around the corner from its sister restaurant, Lygon Street's DOC Espresso has carved out its own niche. There's no pizza in sight, but you'll find a range of pastas and focaccias with great coffee to boot.

The cafe and its siblings DOC Delicatessen and DOC Pizza and Mozzarella Bar have named themselves after quality - DOC is an Italian legal term that ensures produce from certain regions are of a very high standard and it shows.

Whether you're just stopping by for a macchiato and a snack or a more substantial dish of pasta, you'll find something delicious here.
