It was 1.10 euro for the espresso. Very small space but it is a great place to people watch. Espresso was heavenly. Croissant was done well even though I wished it was fresh out of the oven.

I adore this little bakery in Monforte. It's seriously a treasure trove of local flavor. Hazelnut…read moretorta is a traditional Piemontese pastry, and theirs is the best! They also make their own confections and they are a work of art. I recommend buying a bag of assorted confections. They come beautifully packaged too. Among the various flavors you'll find Amaretti,Nougat, Chocolate, Praline, and many more. My absolute favorite pastry are the bacci di dama- aka, Hazelnut Kisses, think of them as a mini hazelnut oreo. They're a must! They also carry Monfortesi cordials and Barolo Chinato. This pastry shop is gorgeous and so worth the visit.

This bakery is family owned and was established in 1946 and passed from grandfather all the way…read moredown to grandson. Today Enrico and his dad Gigino run this bakery keeping their family recipes alive. I had the fortune to see the behind the scene of the bakery for a few weeks and try most of their goodies. I was amazed by the quality of the ingredients they use, by the attention to the details. Every and each product is individually handcrafted with a lot of attention and love by Enrico's team. Enrico himself is a bread guru. He teaches bread making at several local colleges and uses his knowledge for bread making in his products. He searches the best flours in Italy. Visits the mills himself. He is also the president of the Pan ed Langhe. An association of bakers in Alba using Alta Langa grains to make this beautiful and healthy bread loaf. I strongly recommend to try their wheat breads. Their viennoiserie selection is simple but to die for. I tried both the jam and Cream croissants and they are amazing. The only downside is that they don't have an espresso bar but on the other side Italian bakeries are the places where you grab and go but you are insured to find the best quality and freshness compared to coffe shops.

Il negozio e' molto piccolo per cui con tre persone all'interno la quarta attende fuori. La coda può smaltirsi velocemente ad eccezione che traviate qualcuno un po' prolisso che oltre a comprare abbia intenzione di raccontare la stormo della propria vita. Provate un po' tutte le varianti di focacce e pizze e non accontentatevi della tradizionale focaccia; potreste scoprire una variante che fa al caso vostro e mai provata prima.
