The breads are wonderful, the lattes are great, and the service and atmosphere are top-notch. There are plenty of regulars here, as well as options for takeout. Personally, I'm not a fan of sweets, but my friend can't resist them and always rolls her eyes in delight when she takes a bite. View all feedback.

The deli has one of the best hot chocolates around and there is a feast of home made pastries and other foods.

Tonolli's is such a cute place in the country to meet; lots of lovely baked goods and European deli options.

When hunger hits you on the highway between Victoria and Sidney, stop in here for a delicious breakfast or lunch in a relaxing setting. Service is friendly.
