Wonderful staff, excellent food! Great way to fuel up before our hikes in the morning.
Awesome breakfast! The croissant with eggs and caramelized onions was incredible and the tiramisu was divine. A must go in Monterosso.
Dropped in for a couple drinks. Atmosphere is great - friendly staff, good music (70s-80s hits when I was there), nice outdoor seating along a picturesque street. Didn’t eat, but the dishes coming out for other tables all looked good. Follow-up: returned the next morning for breakfast. Bruschetta breakfast and vegan lovers options were both ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent pastries and breakfast (avo toast and yogurt bowl), coffee was delightful too! Eggs were cooked just right and salted nicely, worked perfectly with the toast that was just crunchy enough but not too hard. Everything tasted nice and fresh. Returned a second day and tried the bruschetta which was tasty, great bacon! The menu items seems to rotate with whatever is fresh as the yogurt bowl had some different fruits just two days later. Awesome! Service was quick and friendly, goofing with our toddler. Only downside was the flies on the terrace across the street but it was trash day I think.
We stayed in Cinque Terre for a couple of days and came here for breakfast twice!!! Breakfast here was more than just amazing!!! I hope the picture speaks for itself The coffee was its own masterpiece!!! We’re from the US and it just tasted like home for me!!! first time my husband got a smoothie, which he couldn’t stop thinking about!
Awesome cafe in Monterosso. It was not crowded and not in a super busy area which was perfect. They had lots of fresh and homemade options on their menu. The service was great, the ladies working were so nice. Lots of outdoor seating available but not much indoor. We ordered a focaccia sandwich which was delicious. Definitely recommend while you’re in Monterosso!
LOVED this! Probably not the most authentic Italian in terms of what is served, but my husband and I have had trouble finding breakfast spots on our trip. We got two large cappuccinos and two breakfast sandwiches of chewy salty bacon and large fried eggs on focaccia. 10/10 recommend!!!
Good food and coffee. Recommend! Iced coffee isn’t like America so don’t expect that but it’s still OK. Focaccia Bacon and Egg was yummy
