Mio Dolce

The display window @MioDolceCakes caught my eye walking past and had me drooling at the wonderful looking sweet creations. I settled on a couple of cannoli one filled with Italian custard and the other with ricotta. Both were crunchy on the outside and very tasty. Love the traditional ricotta version. I also got a mini profitterole stack with soft choux pastry filled with a rich Italian custard and coated in a lovely layer of chocolate. I really enjoyed this. Lastly, hard to go past the Toblerone cheesecake. Rich, chocolatey and delectable. A very naughty treat to enjoy during the day. #ItalianFood #cannoli #ricotta #Italiancustard #profitterole #Toblerone #cheesecake #sweettooth #dessert #foodcoma #foodie #melbournefood #melbournecbd @zomatomelb

Unfortunately there isn't a massive selection of cakes. There are probably just a few that looks good. It also wasn't a good experience when I entered. I did ask for a specific cake to be selected on a tray but she didn't listen to my request. When I asked for the other selection she would question me on whether they are not the same. I just said they are the same cake, but one looked better than the other and I merely wanted the other one. I requested this specifically for a photo shoot but was met with a cold reaction. Afterwards I can tell I wasn't welcomed in the place anymore. So it would definitely have to be a 1 star experience. Generally it would take alot effort to make me feel unpleasant to be in a shop. This is one of them. I won't be returning here to make a purchase.

Very rude owner. Their cakes are not consistent they change the look of the cakes. I ordered Bacio cake and received a totally different looking cake. And they charged me through the roof. The owner was very rude about it and instead of explaining why they change the style to “the way he feels like it” in a nice manner, he was abrupt and almost wanted to pick a fight. Will never be going back and will definitely not be recommending this place to anyone. So many other cake shops with better customer service and value for money. Staff are inexperienced and don’t explain over the phone the cake styles and that they look different. Wouldn’t even give this place a 1 star but did so I could leave this review.

Inexperienced staff don’t inform you that the cake Styles can change. I voiced my concern to the owner and his very rude response was “its how I want to decorate the outside, I’m a professional” I said to him I didn’t know they change the styles every time, he just said he doesn’t know. I’m very confused because obviously he does know and just can’t give me, the customer a proper explanation as to why I didn’t get the cake I ordered. He tried to blame me and say it’s because I didn’t send him a photo. Like I’m suppose to know how he runs his business? Very rude, unprofessional and don’t know how they are still in business. I have been there the last 3 times to get my cake and now this is my last. I will not be recommending Mio Dolce to my friends and family and those I have recommended to I will be asking them to reconsider. Had to give 1 star to write this review. Would give 0 stars if possible. Very disappointed.

I ordered a big strawberry cake and when I pick it up didn’t look nice at all. The strawberries were white and a few with the leafs on them. I asked if they can do something about it and the owner came out of the kitchen saying in a rude way that the cake is perfect and asking what do I want. He didn’t want to listen to me or anything. Apparently he had a bad day and I paid for that having and awful time arguing with him. Such a rude person! They show you a beautiful cake in the window and then is not the same nice looking when you pick it up. So disappointed! He finally cut the strawberries properly and sent it out again. I ended up crying because such bad experience that I had. You can't do anything the day before the party, I really needed the cake so I have to deal with this type of idiot! 😭 🤷‍♀️ I really don't recommend this place!

The vanilla slice was to die for. The pastry was flaky with a good crunch...made very recently. The custard cream filling was well flavoured and a perfect consistency throughout. One star deducted because I felt the Italian hot chocolate just missed the mark in flavour. Not bitter enough. You certainly won't be disappointed if you like a vanilla slice. Though I believe they called it a diplomatica.
