Alberto's cafe is a little corner cafe at the post office in Cavenagh Street - we also have a second location in Carpentaria House (also on Cavenagh street) serving the same great menu, at the same great prices! We specialize in gourmet toasties, crepes, laksa, and much more; since bursting onto the Darwin foodie scene, we've shown Darwin that you don't need to break the wallet to satisfy your taste buds. Our customers rave about the quality ingredients, our diverse menu but it's the friendly smiles from Alberto and his dedicated team that keep them coming back every day. We also have a second location in Carpentaria House called "Alberto's Cave" run by Alberto's wife Terese - she's whipping up the same tasty menu, with that same smiling service you love. Our space might be limited but our passion is unlimited! Come and see what all the hype is about - our menu won't fail to impress!
