On a lovely Sunday afternoon, my partner and I took my daughter out for a walk down to South Melbourne. We came across this beautiful cafe displaying lots of yummy cheese cakes in the front window. It was so overwhelming as I haven't had cheesecake for a long time. I ended up buying over $50 worth of cakes to take home. The cakes were very fresh and delicious. I will be back next Sunday for more! 😂

a. p.

Great shop in south Melbourne with a huge variety of deserts. The staff were super friendly and my cheesecake were amazing. They also have a good variety of wraps and brunch and pastries. I am gonna come back for sure.

C. D.

Had breakfast here with a large group of families on Sunday, food was amazing and service very efficient. Would highly recommend

T.

Great experience. I walked in a bit late and the bloke was still kind enough to make my almond latte with no hassles. Super friendly staff. Great service. This is my new go to for coffee from now on! A+

S. K.

Came across this shop during our walk in south Melbourne. Tried the brownie cake and it was amazing. They also serve coffee, fruit juice and breakfast menu too. The support staff was really nice too! Must try place for a evening snack.

N. I.

I had beautiful rich Lotus Biscoff cake and cappuccino. Highly recommend! Amazing customer service and food. 10 stars!

R. H.

Whoever was on the phone yesterday between 9:30-10am needs to learn how to talk to customers. The woman was so rude and was yelling how she couldn’t hear me and slammed down the phone. I have placed pickup order here before and they were so nice then. I thought maybe I had connection issues but when I called another place they heard me perfectly and were so nice about it. The coffee is always great and was my go to but yesterday was horrible.

F. G.

Amazing coffee and cheese cake! The staff was very friendly, and the place super organized and clean. I would totally come back!

N. M.

We've had Sunday breakfast at The Old Paper Shop Deli twice and both times the food, coffee and service has been exemplary. Their omelets are so good that I just ordered it again the second time we went even though there are so many other delicious looking items on their menu - I'm going to have to try their Strawberry Shortcake Stack next time though. Oh and their barista makes the best decaf long-black I've ever had. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Generous portions. Very good value for money. A short walk down Coventry Street to the South Melbourne Market for fruit and veg shopping after breakfast. And just across Clarendon Street from Coles

M. U.

Very tasty food and excellent service

B. M.

Chocolate mousse is a-ma-zing!!! Red velvet cake and New York cheesecake also fantastic. Love ❤

R. R.

My partner and I's new fav dessert place around South Melbourne! The place is cosy, with heaps of menus to choose. And boy, do those cakes look delicious that you want them all to yourselves. Cakes are tasty, coffee's are great. Staffs are always friendly and happy. It's open till quite late at night which is another point. I love the cheesecakes and the red velvet!

N.

Perfect coffee each time. Have ordered many cakes from her before as well. Always tasty!

J. D.

Great service very polite great tasting coffee and delicious food. Recommend if in the South Melbourne area

G. H. H.

Coffee is strong and ok. Hot food available. A variety of cakes (quantity plenty available.) The only thing is there is no price information for drinks and cakes/pastry. Surprising a carrot cake is for $9.5. Not an issue with many but I know some people are not willing to enter a shop without clear pricing.

B. A.

I really like the place, a place for a late coffee with friends. The lady, Samyeh , is very caring.

D. M.

Good range of meals, desserts and drinks but everything I’ve tried seems to look nicer than it tastes. Desserts were stale and very bland. Staff and service seemed to be the only thing I liked here. Decent location and decor. Has potential but I agree with other reviews that this place is let down by the kitchen.

J.

Frequently come to this piece of heaven.... Coffee is always on point, service is always friendly and today I had the bircher muesli which was amazing. I recommend this cafe 10/10

J. M.

Baked Berry cheesecake is the bomb! Bit pricey tho at $10 a slice

K. T.

Great food, coffee and atmosphere. The service is excellent

S. L.

Warm and friendly staff, the cake was delicious, we’ll be back!

j. f.

Fast, friendly service. Great coffee and cake. Indoor and outdoor dining for any time of the year. A solid and reliable coffee shop with savoury and sweet goods for people on the move or people who just want to relax and chill..

n. w.

Absolutely wonderful food and unrivalled quality of staff. Came for breakfast one day and ended up here three days in a row as it was so tasty, filling and such a wonderful choice available. Walked 10 km round trips for the privilege. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town

C. D.

Awesome varieties of cakes. Portions are big, hence the slightly higher price. Cofee is a bit too bitter for my liking.

D. B.

This has to be one of the best cafes in South Melbourne. Awesome friendly staff, quality coffee and food.

S. D.

So amazing! A must go for a sugar fix, great food and friendly staff :)

S. T.

Lovely staff, great food and great cakes. Make sure to stop by.

C. a. K. L.

Great Customer Service, Great Coffee and Great Menu…..

S. 9.

Iced coffee mocha is delicious and amazing juices!

D. M.

Great coffee, great food and friendly staff. Has a country house vibe in metro Melbourne. On a side note my water broke here five years ago so the old paper shop is a special place to me.

R. F.

Randomly walked in to this bakery because my friend got attracted by the spectacular window display for the 2nd time. Great variety of cakes which are huge as a whole cake and per slice! If you love classic cakes, this is your place! Friendly service, love the warm buzz inside which feels like a different world hidden within the South Melbourne precinct. I love the name of this shop too, sounds vintage!

a. b.

Great staff healthy food great place to have a coffee and watch the world go by.

C. H.

Go there immediately. Treat yourself to a slice of cake/cheesecake and beverage. You won’t regret it!!! They do other food too, but after sampling their baked berry cheesecake and crunchie cheesecake with a cup of peppermint tea on a cold winters day, savoury food was not on my mind!

R. K.

Awesome coffee served with a smile. There is also a great range of delicious cakes and pastries that are generously sized and a large array of meal options. You can't go wrong with this awesome one stop cafe!

S. W.

Great food, Great coffee and excellent service. If I was to find a fault possibly a little over priced but in my eyes worth it :)

B. M.

Quick tasty lunch. A pleasant surprise. Will go back when we are in the neighbourhood.

G. P.

Good service & quality food ,drinks ,first time customers but will return .

R. S.

Great selection, quick and courteous service, top coffee, quality food ..... one of the best eateries on Clarendon

A. L.

I had a beef burger & wedges with a flat white coffee. Unfortunately the meal was cold (not hot enough). I think it must have been pre-prepared ready for the lunch time rush. It just wasn't kept hot. The flavour was lovely though. The flat white had too much froth but tasted fine. I'd go back but maybe order something different next time.

I. J.

Delicious new menu, newly renovated, same wonderful friendly service. Plus Great Cakes!

L. H.

Friendly service and a great selection of beautiful cakes! It wasn't too busy and seating outside was decent.

K.

The best coffee and hot chocolate in Melbourne without a doubt. Their milkshakes and range of desserts are equally divine. The staff here are absolutely delightful, providing high quality customer service with a smile. Between the coffee and the service it is almost impossible not to become a regular... unless you are broke.. (sorry guys, you are a little bit pricey but hey, it is Clarendon Street right? 😉).

S. L.

One of the best breakfasts places i have been too. Great service, very clean and super food. Thankyou

C. S.

Excellent coffee and super friendly service. The selection of cakes and slices is huge and it's hard to make your mind up on which one you want!! Indoor and outdoor door seating and fast service! I always love this place.

E. S.

Hands down the best food I've had! Awesome staff, situated close to everything, inside and outside seating, delicious cakes and sandwiches! Simply love this cafe.

S. M.

The staff are fabulous. One of them remebers my 'regular' order everytime (I go maybe once a week). Delicious fresh made sandwiches (only till 4pm) and amazing desserts, my fav being the iced custard square. Coffee very nice as well. Plenty of seating - can get very busy around lunch on a Saturday.

E. C.

So many cakes and cafe-style foods to choose from in a great location in Clarendon Street. A nice coffee and cake type-cafe or for a decent cafe-style breakfast or lunch with generous portions and loads to choose from. Attentive wait-staff.

F. H.

One of my old time favourites that provides quality coffee, healthy snacks and meals and delicious cakes to die for. The atmosphere is appealing although it is not the place for a romantic date or a business meeting, because it is always full and hence a bit noisy.

C.

Very good coffee!!!

D. W.

We started to have a lovely Sunday breakfast here the food was amazing! Inside the café was full so we thought no problems we will dine outside because of the new smoking laws, what a joke. The café has its no smoking sign up and has partitioned its café sidewalk area. So one customer just stood on the other side of the partition and smoked then a waitress came out and did the same thing whilst leaning on the partition talking to a male customer. The smoke just blew all over us. Not sure of the exact laws regarding distance but if a waitress is doing it then you can hardly ask another anyone else to please move further away.

J. T.

Lovely iced lattes, food and cakes. The workers are extremely lovely and kind. Definitely recommend 👍🏻

R. K.

Love getting my coffee from here. The girls are wonderful always attentive and knowing what their regular clients want. The food is wonderful too. But the service provided is fantastic.

A. B.

Love it miss my old stomping ground and the staff here...crazy girls but can always have a laugh with them. Miss them all foods excellent coffees the best i have had in melbourne. Worthy of much more than given. .

A. J.

Overpriced for the area (in fact any area), likely riding on the great reputation this establishment had for many years. Food good hence 3 stars, Service OK. Food handling just as dodgy as most, i.e. bare hands on fresh produce, same glove for food prep and cash handling.

L. M.

The most excellent eatery in Melbourne!! Good service.. Good coffee great food!! 😁

r. h.

A bit inexperienced on coffee. Be careful to test temp first. Far to hot. 65°C is hot enough. Hottest I have ever had. Nearly burns your throat.

S. H.

Price was a bit steep for a slice of pecan pie. The filling lacked pecans but tasted great. Would recommend adding more pecans INSIDE the filling, not just on top.

J. W.

Great food, great service. Mason jar glasses means they have sacrificed a little to the moronic hipsters, but that's the price of eating in South Melbourne. Can't wait till they ride their fixies into the next big thing and get the hell out of my favourite cafe!

D. J.

Caught up with my daughter on Easter weekend and was surprised to find that outside 3pm so that people can smoke at their outdoor tables! Really in 2018, they value smoking customers over non-smoking ones? Should not be allowed!

M. '.

Absolutely love this place! It is one of my favourite cafes in Clarendon Street. They have amazing and friendly staff all the time and have recently started making freak shakes which are so bloody good! Highly recommend this place!

B. M.

I always enjoy looking at the eye tingling mouth watering selections of cake in the window of this Café. Its a reasonably new discovery of mine & being a desert person wow..I've only been slightly disappointed once which was when I had the red velvet cupcake & by other cakeshop standards its actually not bad but in general the products are beyond the scope of other establishments foods here and I have come to expect the same level every time I purchased a new cake..

J. H.

I have been coming to the Old Paper Shop Deli for over 15 years. I enjoy the atmosphere and service. They have done catering for me and they were very accommodating! Their food is filling and tasty.

D. K.

The food and service are of an excellent standard and have been for a long time. Looking at the display counter there are so many mouth watering choices. Well done folks

K. Y.

Friendly staff Good atmosphere to the cafe - cosy with decent amount of seats. Good coffees and chai tea. Opens late which is perfect for late night coffee runs

S. W.

I love all ranges of sweets they have, very tempting.

L. F.

Great food and usually great service depending on who you get. However, not so great with the non-smoking and smoking area outside. As it favours smokers for a good chunk of the day.

M. R.

Excellent staff service. Very clean and tidy space to enjoy cup of coffee in peace. I will keep coming back.

B. S.

Stumbled across this place whilst i was looking for a place to hold my meetings. Really nice cafe! The food was delicious and the coffee is quality.

r. b.

Super friendly, great coffee and excellent choice of food. The cakes are to die for especially the vanilla slice.

D. S. C. -. S.

Great service from the staff. Quick food and frictiin free paying. The cakes are amazing esp the vanilla slices

M. S.

Cakes are superb. All baked on site. Definitely have "kaffe und kuchen" here. The hot meals could improve in price.

M. G. M.

This is one of South Melbourne's institutions! Great menu, excellent food, excellent tea and coffee. Very friendly and helpful service.

S. S.

Fantastic little cafe with great coffee and the best collection of cakes available. It is always very difficult to decide which cake to choose as there are so many.

A. S.

The food is good but needs to be held in a better presentation. The cold desserts are very good presentation. Staff need better training.

N. G.

Love this place. The food, the coffee, the staff and the attitude I get. Come here daily and I feel appreciated and like part of the family

D. F.

Bought an amazing tim tam chocolate cake for a colleagues birthday and everyone loved it. Will definitely be back :)

C. W.

Great service here again, they are super fast and the staff are always really friendly! Not a bad price for a coffee either!

M. F.

G. S.

Best nutella donut, dough was fresh and delicious with generous filling. Lovely ladies, friendly service

S. M.

A nice place to mingle and having a coffee, cake and perhaps a nice healthy meal. A positive and friendly experience each time I visit.

A. H.

Large range of cakes and other food. The outdoor seating area seems to be more of a smoking area though.

S. D.

Excellent coffee, service, food, desserts and huge breakfasts. Wish we lived in Melbourne as we'd be there all the time!

C. P.

Been a long-standing icon of Clarendon Street and the service + friendliness remains evident. Excellent variety of meals + cakes.

M. H.

Best coffee in South Melbourne. Consistent every time and $4.20 is a win compared with most others around.

R. T.

Had coffee and pecan pie. Coffee was great, pecan pie was good but didn't have the wow factor you get with a great one

K. S.

Nice place to have an evening coffee catchup..Lost two stars because the pastries seemed like they were not fresh..

A. J.

A great place to grab a coffee and some breakfast after a workout. Staff are efficient and friendly.

(Translated) I saw a delicious cake and sandwich when I looked from the outside, so I was full but I entered. It was past 12 o'clock. There were a lot of people who thought they were living in the area, so the clerk and the customer spoke friendlyly. The atmosphere gives a good impression. I ate iced topping on pecan pie. Pecan pie is warm and sweet, ice cream is not so sweet. I drink black coffee for this. These three are a wonderful combination of tastes. The shop also sold wine. Atmosphere, taste, both are good. Recommended Credit cards can be used for payment, but cash payment is easier. Let's bring some cash. The price is not high. (It may be cheaper) I didn't eat this time, but I also wanted to eat some side dishes like cheesecake and panini. (Original) 外から見たら美味しそうなケーキやサンドイッチが見えたので、満腹でしたが、入りました。12時過ぎでした。周辺に住んでいると思われる人が多くいたので、店員の方とお客さんがフレンドリーに話しをしてました。その雰囲気が良い印象を与えてくれます。 ピーカンパイにアイスのトッピングをして食べました。ピーカンパイは暖かく、甘い、アイスクリームは、そんなに甘くない。これにブラックコーヒーを飲む。この3つが素晴らしい味の組み合わせになりました。 店内では、ワインも販売していました。 雰囲気、味、どちらも良いです。おすすめします。 支払いはクレジットカードが使うことができますが、現金払いの方が楽です。現金を持っていきましょう。 価格は高くないです。（安い方かも） 今回は食べませんでしたが、チーズケーキやパニーニなどの惣菜も食べたかったなぁ。
