A nice place to sit and have a coffee. The atmosphere is very relaxed and they sell all sorts of little gifts for home, kitchen, and children. The Gelato is highly recommended. Thank you.

Veeeery cozy place. I mean one can see how people enjoy being there. The ambiance is terrific. All day spent there, easy! And why not if that Cortado coffee is excellent and the tiramisu...oh man, superior. It's a place for gelatos too. Now, keep in mind, one pays for quality, so no complaints here. It was an awesome gelato. All in all, a great place to stop by. I mean, we spent the weekend in town, arriving on Friday. That very night we went for our coffee (it's our law to have coffee time by sunset), and after that night we went there the next two days too, lol. We just loved the place. I even used the background for our FB profile pic...haha. my only regret is that we always passed by (well, we were on vacation, moving around). I wish I could have hung out there a bit more. Nice place

Great cappuccino in a relaxing atmosphere. Gelato, gifts, coffee, and chocolates! The service was fast, friendly and very good. We highly recommend Palermo!

THIS is definitely the place to go for in the area. Friendly staff. Sit on the outside patio for the breeze. Sit inside if you love the smell of coffee I tried the coconut, hazelnut and mocho Gelati this time around. Quite tasty. You can savor the lush mocha flavor. Tastes like real coffee. The hazelnut is clustery... needs more cream in the mix to counter the powdery hazel. Texture lesson: If you've ever put peanut butter in a blender with water to make a dipping sauce, you know what I'm talking about. You need to add more liquid to smooth it out. Anyway, there is paid, metered parking all around. Pay at the pay station vibe. It's a touch pricy, but I like this place. I'll be back.

We were walking main street, and we walked past this cafe, and we drawn in by the rich smell of espresso. However, we second guessed whether we should go in, and we're glad we did the best flat white I've ever had thus far, sooooo glad we went in expect us to always stop by whenever we're in the area!!

Fantastic options and plenty of snacks to choose from. Post cards, candles, stuffed animals in the back of the store for sale. The cortado does the trick for me and the Praline Twist has a lovely aroma. Ample seating outdoors that mimics the Italian cafes.
