Rustica

Melbourne sourdough bakery and cafe Rustica have opened a new cafe in the heart of the city.

The kitchen team is led by head chef Chantelle Saba, who has worked with Rustica for over seven years. For this latest venue Saba has finessed the breakfast and brunch menu to offer a variety of rotating grab-and-go options.

As for the pastries, expect to see Rustica’s regulars, including blueberry and finger lime crullers, Portuguese tarts, almond and chocolate croissants, and Iced Vovo brioche donuts.

The cafe serves Rustica’s own retail brand First Love Coffee, using seasonal, single origins and rotating between six different blends monthly.
