Casetta

My boyfriend and I have made this a bit of a regular for Friday morning brekkies before work. Serving eightthirty coffee it’s hard to go wrong and the girls working behind the counter are incredibly friendly. They’ll even let you pick mood of the day if you’re in early enough!
I love getting the muesli with rhubarb and yoghurt and Andy digs in to a toasted breakfast bap. During the winter months they started doing porridge with berries and cream instead of the muesli which is a great way to mix up the menu during the cooler months.
Highly recommend popping in here if you get the chance. Catering mostly for takeouts, with a few small tables, and nearby workers as its only open during the week, it’s the perfect place to get your caffeine fix and grab a bite to eat from their vast range of brioches, muffins, baguettes and more. Wish I worked in Parnell so I could frequent this place more often!

I came here when Casetta opened after the departure of Zarbo Metro. It didn’t work out for Zarbo but over a year later Casetta is still here, serving up mean coffee, (they use Eighthirty coffee beans). Mostly they are a take out place, Casetta have great salads, fresh breads, loaves, scones, cakes, pastries and other sweet things and the window always looks enticing. Once when I went in they had an amazing lemon syrup loaf on the counter, obviously not vegan friendly I passed it up but non the less, Casetta have great food. I used to work in Parnell and the others I worked with frequented here for the salads and sandwiches which must have been good as they kept going back. They get their breads from Olaf’s bakery in Mt Eden, that is damn good bread, which explains why the sandwiches are so good. It is the best bread you will find in Parnell for sure. They do sell some other oddities like chutney and conserves, I have actually seen bags of jet planes here for sale. Not sure how gummy candy and long blacks go together but there’s always a first for everything.
