Nothing makes for a better morning than a sweet pastry and a creamy cappuccino. Lucky for us, Pasticceria Tombolan is around the corner from our house with just that!
Peruse their case and pick out the tastiest looking brioche. I recommend the frutti di bosco (berry) but you really can't go wrong with anything and then head to the coffee counter to order your drink. I say go cappuccino all the way, but you could do a macchiato, espresso, cafe americano (a cup of espresso and a cup of hot water, cracks me up every time)... Pick your poison! Then, head to a table and someone will bring your drinks to you when they're ready. Tombolan has a few tables inside and out.
They also have lots of other, non-breakfast goodies like cakes, macaroons, etc. that are fun to take away. I like to buy a dozen when guests are in town, for special occasions, to take to work... Let's be honest, really I just like to buy a dozen, no excuse needed! read more
