Inside Arbab Patisserie & Café قهوه و شیرینی سرای ارباب
Arbab Patisserie & Café قهوه و شیرینی سرای ارباب sits quietly on Lonsdale Street in Dandenong, offering a cozy enclave for those who appreciate thoughtful coffee and traditional Middle Eastern pastries. This spot blends the casual charm of a local café with the inviting aromas of a patisserie specializing in Iranian-style sweets.
Inside, you’ll find a modern yet warm interior that invites visitors to linger—perfect for those wanting a calm corner to work or catch up with friends. The café is known for its smooth, well-crafted coffee, which feels at home alongside an unusual and carefully curated selection of hot teas and infusions, like saffron and orange blossom. These drinks complement the delicate balance of sweetness in their house-made pastries.
The patisserie showcases traditional confections such as gosheh fil (a light, yogurt-based sweet), reshte & khoshkar with rosewater and cardamom, and the crispy, cinnamon-spiced pirashki. These treats are notably fresh and not overpoweringly sweet, making them a satisfying accompaniment to a midday chai latte or a quiet afternoon tea. Beyond the sweets, there’s also a range of other pastries like chickpea flour-based and apple tarts with a hint of rosewater, displaying a mix of local flavors with delicate international touches.
The friendly, patient staff here play a big role in the experience — they take time to explain the pastries and offer recommendations, which helps newcomers and enthusiasts alike discover something new. The clientele often includes locals seeking a reliable spot for a relaxed morning break or a gentle afternoon recharge, especially weekdays when the café feels like a soft retreat from the busyness of Dandenong’s streets.
This isn’t the loud, bustling café where you grab a fast takeaway; it’s more of a place to settle in with a book, your laptop, or a good conversation. Evenings bring a quieter atmosphere, making it a nice stop after a long day. For those visiting Melbourne and exploring its multicultural neighborhoods, Arbab Patisserie offers a genuine slice of Iranian-Australian café culture, neatly tucked into the heart of Dandenong.
