Saporito Cafe sits on Kavanagh Street at Southbank, just across the Yarra from Melbourne's CBD. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and good coffee with a relaxed, welcoming setting, the kind of spot that draws a steady stream of regulars in busy Southbank.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed atmosphere in a convenient Southbank location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. A cafe that's nailed both its food and its coffee really stands out, and Saporito has clearly won over a loyal following.
