We've been in San Vincenzo a couple of times. But somehow never checked up on this place. Well,…read morewhat a mistake. Because they got wonderful products. This time we went in though. Lots of bread, nice pastries and....cookies. We got some vanilla-cream filled pastries and lots of different cookies. The jam-filled (topped) ones were really good, but the best ones are for us the soft Amaretti (the white ones in my pic). Really good stuff. Products here are homemade, tasty and served with a smile. Came back every day and brought a good load of cookies back home when we had to leave. Definitely will be back.

So feel free to grab one of this and one of that. The prosciutto croissant sandwich is the perfect offset to the sweets. Grab a doppio or cappuccino and manga!

I give these guys a solid 5 stars. Now that I have moved back to this neighborhood, my morning…read morecoffee stop is without a doubt Piansa - which is a fairly new shop. I call it "coffee with the newsies". Always greeted with a smile from either a groovy pair of glasses or a couple friendly guys with newsboy caps. It's definitely hipster and the decor reminds me of a cosy brooklyn coffee shop. My kinda place. I have become a regular and I might add that the coffee is quite good as I take my espresso senza zucchero (without sugar) so I really experience the taste of every coffee i drink and this coffee is smooth! They also have a lovely selection of morning pastries. Yesterday I finally stopped with a friend for aperativo. Good move. We had some nice apero spritz and they brought us a charcuterie tray. We had some fun conversation with the newsies and were asked to sign their espresso machine. Christened as regulars!! Great way to start out our night. Of course I have already been back today for my morning coffee.

Really cute cafe just a little ways from the amazing bakery up the street. The baristas are well…read moremannered and snappy and the espresso very clean, creamy and light. My espresso was out in a minute after ordering, and I shot mine down with some Italians from the neighborhood. There isn't quite enough room at the bar to drink, but if you sit down you'll be charged a fee, so the cafe is best if you're looking for a quick espresso, unless you plan on staying there long term and sitting down to eat, read, relax. It was fairly quiet in the cafe, so it'd make for a good place to work or catch up with a friend.

Therefore, we made sure to stop by here for some food after completing the Blue trail hike. The bar has plenty of seating inside and outside and the staff were friendly. It was easy to place one order, the cake was delicious! It had a beautiful cross section and each bite was so tasty. After hiking for 2 hours, you can bet that we were hungry, so we easily gobbled up the cake. If you're looking for some food options in Monterosso, I would certainly recommend this shop!
