A beautiful café located in Bergamo Alta. As soon as you enter, you're taken in by the artwork on…read morethe walls above the coffee machines and alcohol. This pasticceria has been around since 1880! There is plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs, and you can stand by the counter if you just want to have a quick coffee and pastry. There is a bathroom located upstairs and is kept in good condition. We came here in the morning to order some espressos and a few pastries. I'm a pistachio lover and the "Rocher pistacchio" was my favorite. They also serve slices of a variety of different cakes, including pistachio, lemon, and chocolate. With so many pastries, you simply must come back and try them all. I gladly give this venue five stars out of five.

Here you can get simple drink, some spritz, some desserts, gelato to full sandwiches. You eat, drink and hang out however you like. Place is comfortable, not pretentious and it won't leave you with a big dent in your wallet. It's not cheap but not a rip off. Overall, an excellent experience and was nice even after a full meal at Cracco across the hall.

It looked a like a chain from the outside so we swept past it initially, only to decide it looked fine and came back. It looked like they were getting ready for the lunch crowd but we snuck in for an 11.30 coffee & cake; at €5.60 for 2 caps and lovely brioche, how can we refuse?! In all my visits, have only just realised that in Italy, what look like croissants are called brioche when they are filled or flavoured. Anyway, we had chocolate and cream between us to share, just lovely. This place is on the main street so then it's back out to walks in the lovely old town part of Bergamo.

Was on empty and needed to eat REAL food after a 6 hour train ride. Healthy options, specials and great smoothies sold me. Followed my delicious salad with an iced coffee and I was revived! Then a week later, staying at an airport hotel, we came here and even though the kitchen closes at 3 pm, and it was 3:20 pm (sigh) the owner said we could order whatever we wanted. I nearly cried. He must have sensed the hangries coming on, big time. I had the vegetarian club (€10) and my bf had a pastrami club (€11). While I usually go with whole wheat bread, the white bread was just great. Both of us had a smoothie, pure fruit and veggies, nothing more. And we had to follow it up with a coffee! The bakery case was tempting with cookies, pastries and cakes. Really appreciate the owner's kindness and really enjoyed this charming cafe.
