Flinders Lane runs on Brunetti Oro—a high-tempo Italian pasticceria built for brisk espresso, pistachio cube croissants, and late-night pasta. Commuters and post-theatre crowds slip through the light-filled din, heading for dedicated counters to grab long blacks, Kinder gelato, and crisp pizza. City regulars know the drill: divide and conquer across the ordering stations, claim a shared table, and watch the open kitchen fire up plates of grilled barramundi.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ordering and seating work?
Brunetti operates separate counters for different items, such as sweets, drinks, and savoury dishes. You order and collect drinks yourself, while cooked food is brought to your table once ordered. Seating is self-directed, so finding a table first is often recommended.
Can you book a table in advance?
The venue is walk-in only and does not accept reservations. It frequently gets very crowded during lunch, peak afternoons, and weekends, so visiting early in the morning or mid-afternoon on weekdays offers a more relaxed experience.
Does Brunetti serve hot meals as well as desserts and coffee?
Beyond its large display of pastries, cakes, and gelato, the café offers a full hot Italian menu including pizza, pasta, and mains from an open kitchen, alongside coffee and desserts until late.
