Great cakes, snacks and meals.. Very popular, and the service is fast. Order at the counter, and remember who is next in 'line ', because the staff are generally confronted with a wall of customers.<br/ <br/ Sugar-covered cannoli full of custard is my go-to food from this place, and goes out the door in boxes accompanied by jam donuts, delicate sfogliatelle, dusted palmiers, handmade chocolates or any number of sweet biscuits or cakes.<br/ <br/ Either side of the cabinet exhibiting trophies and ribbons awarded for the bread, are three flavours of pizza on one side and hot pies, sausage rolls and pasties on the other.<br/ <br/ Past the long cabinet of sweets are pre-made hot snacks: calzone a...
Brunetti's? Nope, this is better. On any night in Carlton, you can go to Brunetti's where the queues are out the door for the pastries. That's great...because the pastries at the Italian Continental Bakery are better than Brunetti's. And the queues are shorter, the coffee is better and the service is great.<br/ <br/ Any weekend stopover in Canberra is worth a trip to Mawson for the rum baba, the conchigli or any one of the fine custard filled choux pastries. <br/ <br/ Suddenly, the weekend work in Canberra is a bit more bearable.
The restaurant has recently been renovated and it looks amazing! They now have a proper line forming and accept Eftpos, although there is a $15 minimum spend. The service is still top-notch, with a wide variety of delicious cakes and pastries. The cannoli are a must-try, and the veal with mushrooms is a new favorite. The coffee is always hot and consistently good, made by a skilled barista. I highly recommend this restaurant for a great dining experience.
This restaurant is reminiscent of Italy! I absolutely adore this place, as they offer authentic Italian pastries and coffee, which is hard to find in Canberra. The custard filled doughnuts are my favorite, they remind me of the ones I used to buy at the markets in Florence.

Good Value. Coffee is great and the breakfast is great value. The staff were fine as far as I'm concerned. Gee, what do people expect these days? To be hand fed? Wake up!!! This is the place to do so you're half way there :
The cannolis are fantastic. The breakfasts are simple but delicious, great value for money. Unfortunately, the cronuts don't have the texture of croissants at all, they are basically donuts perhaps they mislabeled them?
Took a remarkably long time to place an order during a fairly quiet period but coffee came quickly thereafter. Decent strong cappuccino. Delicious soft cannoli which is worth a trip just for this alone.
We enjoy supporting local businesses and we definitely love our Saturday morning breakfast from this place. The new renovations are amazing and were much needed. We will definitely be returning.

Italian Continental Bakery is the best! Highly recommend the cannoli and the jam donuts. They sell out quickly, especially on the weekend, so it's good to get in quick.
