It doesn’t get much more Italian than cannoli and espresso, and now the team behind Cannoli Bar have both, with the opening of the quaint 25 Tilba St. Espresso Bar.

As well as coffee poured straight from an Italian moka pot, the retro-styled (think leather dining chairs in burnt orange and chocolate hues, mismatched tables and brown floral-printed tableware) coffee joint allows customers in the know to skip the lines at Cannoli Bar and get the goods direct from here.

Owner Carlo Mellini told Broadsheet 25 Tilba St. offers a large variety of coffee, including single-origin cold drip and traditional Italian caffettiera, while an all-day menu features homegrown herbs and bruschetta made with Ovens Street Bakery bread.
