Why it's worth checking out
Double Shot Panini Cafe is a New Farm café built around freshly made paninis, all-day breakfast, lunch and coffee. Its menu is presented as a mix of breakfast favourites, paninis and rotating specials, with the café saying it sources ingredients from local suppliers. Coffee is supplied by Merlo, a locally roasted blend, and the food is described as generous, comforting and influenced by Mediterranean flavours.
The paninis are the clear speciality, available for dine-in visits as well as catering. The website highlights options including the Cotella Panini, Big Breakfast and Double Shot Nest, while the broader menu includes all-day breakfast and lunch dishes. Catering is available for corporate events, birthdays and other occasions, with the café promoting freshly prepared paninis and noting that it can accommodate some dietary requirements. Customer feedback on the site also points to generous portions, a range of panini options and catering for larger groups.
The atmosphere is relaxed and community-minded, with an open-air design, friendly service and a dog-friendly approach. Double Shot describes itself as a welcoming place for people to enjoy coffee and straightforward, satisfying food, whether they are stopping in after a walk along the river or looking for an easy breakfast in New Farm. It is presented as a space where locals can linger, with a casual feel rather than a formal dining setting.
Anthony and Marie took over the café just over a year before the website was published, bringing new energy and a Mediterranean-inspired perspective while continuing its connection with the New Farm community. The café’s emphasis on hospitality, generous servings and a comfortable environment makes it suitable for a solo coffee, a relaxed catch-up or a meal with friends. Dogs are welcome, and the catering service gives groups another reason to consider Double Shot beyond the café itself. Double Shot Panini Cafe holds a 4.5 Google rating from 623 reviews.
