Family trip. Best cold hazelnut iced coffee and pistachio croissant I have eaten. Husband enjoyed his white chocolate cappuccino. Children had mini hot chocolates and shared a biscuit. Purchased some choclate covered figs too. The two ladies are lovely and hospitable and explained everything. (We don't speak much italian). Truthly honest. I would certainly say the coffees were the nicest we have had. There isn't a lot of seating area- but we managed to all sit down and experience this lovely place.

I had the best pistachio croissant ever here! It was so good, so fresh and simply delicious! I’ve had many pistachio croissants, but this was the best one! I tried it fresh from the oven, it was so warm and so delicious. Also the coffee here is great too! I recommend!

Hidden gem with real italian espresso! You can get a real experience by seeing locals popping by to have their espresso! Croissant freshly made! Price is unbeatable! Quick service!

One of the best choco (the intense chocolate flavor) with whipped cream! It wasn’t as heavy as it seems and the cup is also not too small (regular cappuccino cup size). One is good for my two girls to share. The espresso was just right (wonderful!). I was skeptical after reading some reviews about the staff but they were very attentive and nice!!! We had a great break from the walk.

Great experience. Awesome coffee and attentive customer service. Croissants on the sweeter end but still good. The coffee shop is comfortable within traditional Italian ambiance.

Please try the raspberry croissant and pistachio croissant!! They were fantastic. This is a small charming caffe with a hustle and bustle atmosphere. We have been back four times and have no complaints. The coffee is delicious and the staff and brilliant. If you are looking for an easy breakfast I recommend both for takeaway and eating in.

This is a cute little shop. Only a couple tiny tables to sit but you’ll be inches away from the people coming in and ordering coffee so only a good place for take away. They drinks are 7/10. Overpriced pastries. They staff seemed really flustered and stressed so weren’t much help if you had a question about the menu items.

Trust all the good comments that you see: yes they are the best caffe to have some hot chocolate! Here, we tried different types of hot chocolate of Caffe Borsari, with pepper, or classic, and so on! Honestly, the lady in front of the cassa could have been kinder. She assured “us tourists” didn’t speak or understand any Italian. And she was mumbling some stuff. Plot twist: yes, we do speak Italian fluently!
