Why it's worth checking out
Milana Espresso sits on Southbank Boulevard in Southbank, Melbourne's riverside precinct just across the water from the CBD. A near-perfect 4.9 rating from 39 reviews marks it as a genuine local favourite.
The appeal is a relaxed, quality cafe with a devoted following — somewhere to settle in for a great coffee, a bite and a catch-up, in the buzzing Southbank precinct. Its location, close to the river and the arts precinct, makes it an easy and welcoming stop.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and it can get busy at peak times. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
