Cornelius cheese, wine and coffee

I've walked past this strange shopfront many times when walking down Maling Rd, always attracted by the bold lettering and hints of orange in the window.  I finally walked in yesterday to find a tiny cafe, filled with numerous types of cheeses, coffee beans, wines and many of the other nice things that seem to fill Melbourne cafe/food stores. 

We managed to sit at the front table by the window.  I'm not sure if it was the bright orange seats reminiscent of the House of Orange Store in Armadale (http://www.house-of-orange.com.au) or the sun streaming in through the window but I really did enjoy my afternoon at Cornelius.

I ordered a chicken club sandwich, with super fresh crusty bread, chicken and a spicy aioli sauce, on top of crushed tomato.  I'm not sure if what came out really did constitute 'crushed tomato' through.  It was more like just a bit of tomato surrounding the sandwich, but the description amused me nonetheless.

The pungent smell of our neighbouring table's cheese tart was slightly putrid, but I guess one should expect this from a shop that has 'cheese' in its name.  

A very modern cafe in the heart of Maling Rd Canterbury.  Will definitely go back to satisfy likely cheese cravings.  xx
