Cute cafe for breakfast! We had a few pastries and the ham focaccia sandwiches, coffee and an orange juice. The juice was quite weird - not fresh, but the rest of our experience was very pleasant!

The best little coffee shop we have found during our 10 day trip to Italy! Drinking coffee in America is obviously way different than it is here in Italy. Manuele went above and beyond to create a drink perfectly for me, the “American way.” He is the NICEST person we have met here and truly made our experience unforgettable. His personality and patience is so refreshing in a new, big city. Definitely give this place a try and ask for Manuele!

Good service, nice atmosphere. Plenty of tables and bar. Some items are cheaper when ordering for the bar not table. Tiramisu and chocolate croissiant are good. Cappucino is nice. Good price.

This cafe was directly across the street from our hotel. We came for some lunch when we arrived and were pleased so came back the next day. The fresh squeezed orange juice was particularly delicious! The staff were among the friendliest we met in Italy. I would recommend.

We would give 10 stars to Manuele for making us feel like locals and not just another tourist. Friendly, funny, and proficient. We visited three times. We had espressos and chocolate croissants, and they were delish. After a long day of museums and tooling around, we came back in for a nice bottle of Prosecco.
