As one happy customer, Kristina Sto, described, “The staff are wonderful and it’s the best cosy cafe that also serves lovely food.”
As you browse the menu, don't miss out on the tantalizing selection of Paninis, which have received rave reviews. Susan Marshall noted, “The Panini’s were excellent!” after sharing a delicious Ham Cheese and Tomato Panini, while others have enjoyed the Mortadella option, highlighting the generous fillings and fresh bread that keep you coming back for more.
But that's not all; Brio Cafe boasts a sweet delight with their homemade gelato, a true Italian indulgence that you shouldn't miss. Made with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor, the pistachio gelato is particularly recommended by regulars. Glynis Bentham couldn’t resist taking home Cannoli after marveling at the gorgeous cakes displayed in the cabinet, a testament to the sweet offerings available.
The cafe's atmosphere complements its exquisite menu perfectly.
