Upon our stroll we came across Miceli Cafe and my aunt who resides nearby mentioned they have the best gelato and granite--so of course I hade to try it! They offer a huge variety of flavors and options. My husband is a fan of the gelato inside the brioche bun. I stuck to 2 flavors on a cone. The consistency of the gelato was creamy and melts in your mouth! Each flavor is true to its name and are very rich and flavorful.

After spending a couple weeks In Sicily I had walked the neighborhood and saw another location a few blocks away--this local coffee shop which I'm reviewing was situated beachfront and had ample seating. There is both inside and outside seating--the outside seating is shaded. There's an array of choices to choose from in their menu. Since we stayed for a couple of a weeks I was able to try the following dishes, granite fragola con panna e brioche, crema caffè, espresso macchiato and Schweppes with limone granite. My favorite of all these listed items was the crema caffè. It was like a caffè frappe that was both bold and sweet in flavor. It is served in a small "shot glass" and that was plenty for a mid-day boost. Friday and Saturday nights seemed to be their busiest night since they hosted karaoke on the weeks that we were here--the seating expanded to across the street (closer to beach) on the broadwalk. The staff is extremely friendly and cater to you--if something isn't right for you they strive to make it right.
