About Nathaniel's Coffee and Panini

Ask espresso regulars along Payneham Road where to head for lunch—they point straight to Nathaniel's. Light, airy, and run with genuine Italian hospitality, this counter serves freshly assembled pressed paninis stuffed with ingredients like sopressa or artichokes. The team builds them toasted or fresh, even pulling out the fresh greens before pressing so nothing wilts under heat. Pair a crisp sandwich with an extracted long black, snag a homemade Portuguese tart, and grab a quiet seat outdoors.

  • Specialty Italian Paninis: Curated sandwiches like the Mario or sopressa made fresh or toasted with custom fillings, priced around $12.
  • Precise Coffee: Consistently pulled espresso, long blacks, and iced lattes dialed in by an attentive crew.
  • Family-Run Setting: Welcoming Italian family hospitality with sunny indoor and breezy outdoor seating.
  • Accessible Parking: Hassle-free parking spots situated directly behind the building and down the side street.
