Kobi Kafe

This charming café in Brunswick West brings a slice of Sicily to Melbourne with its signature cartocci—spiral-shaped, custard-filled pastries that blend the textures of cannoli and cinnamon doughnuts. Founded by Chloe Koufidis, who began selling these treats at markets in 2024, the café now serves them alongside espresso drinks and light meals like Turkish eggs and niçoise salad. The space, once a coffee school run by Koufidis's father, exudes a relaxed, old-school vibe with vintage Tessa furniture and terrazzo-style flooring. Kobi Kafe has quickly become a local favorite, offering a cozy spot to enjoy handcrafted pastries and coffee.
