Pane E Pizzico Artisan Bakers

Always on the lookout for great bread and pastries, I came across Pane e Pizzico whilst walking around Essendon and was tempted in by the delicious breads in their window. Upon entry I discovered a treasure trove of baked goods and some Italian deli items. The smell was amazing, and it was very difficult to choose what to have. <br/ <br/ We decided upon a huge sourdough loaf for home, and a blackberry jam tart and nutella pastry to eat on the run. The sweets were so much fun. Simple, sweet and delicious, with delicate pastry and yummy fillings. The bread was outstanding and was a huge hit at home. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and I can't wait to go back to try their savoury pizzas and more of their sweet treats.

After my favorite pastry shop in Melbourne closed down a year ago, I had lost hope of finding a decent Melbourne-made Panettone or Colomba again. But then I stumbled upon Pane e Pizzico. I am so grateful that they exist. Their fresh and delicious Colomba has a delightful mild citrus flavor that doesn't leave you feeling overly full. If you were a fan of Bisetto and miss it, you will absolutely love Pane e Pizzico.

Our favorite item is their pizza slices, and be sure to order them toasted because they have a satisfying crunch. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee.

Hidden little bakery/cafe specialising in artisan bread.Serve bakery style pizza a large range of panini made fresh to order. Coffee was good, there’s also a decent selection of sweets biscuits. Small venue, minimal seating inside and there is seating outside also. Staff were friendly polite.

I have been regularly getting coffee from this place and have consistently been impressed with the quality. The staff are always friendly and genuine. The breads are outstanding and the cakes and slices are delicious. This place is definitely worth a visit.
