Straight out of 1990s Milan, everything from the drinks (w very strict rules) to the display of snacks & bottled drinks to the excellent Italian sandwiches & teal & pink color scheme. Love the macchiato, granita latte & anything with mortadella. Also, check out their EXCELLENT uniforms that make it look like a football team is working behind the counter. I love this attention to detail!! If you stay long enough, you will see waves of euro guys come in & out of this cafe with their espresso hydration breaks. The best!!

I stumbled upon Bar Caffettiera while walking through the neighborhood & decided to stop for a quick espresso. The atmosphere is incredibly authentic & reminded me of the cafes I visited while traveling in Italy years ago. The staff was attentive without being overbearing & the quality of the coffee was superior to most places in the area. I will definitely be coming back here to work on my laptop for a few hours next week.

Honestly one of the better cafes I have been to in quite a while. It has that classic old school vibe that is hard to find nowadays. I ordered a latte & a pastry & both were fresh & tasted like they were made with care. It is not overly loud inside so it is a good place to hold a conversation or just read a book in peace. It is refreshing to visit a place that focuses on the basics & gets them exactly right every single time.

Solid spot for a morning pick me up. The service is efficient even when they are busy which I appreciate during my commute. The decor is simple & clean which makes for a nice environment to sit down & actually enjoy a drink rather than just grabbing it to go. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get & the location is super convenient if you are already in the downtown core. Highly recommended for locals.

Nothing too flashy here but that is exactly why I like it so much. Bar Caffettiera offers a straightforward experience with great coffee & a very welcoming vibe. I have been here a few times now & the consistency is impressive. The baristas are friendly & clearly know their craft well. If you are looking for a reliable place to grab a drink & relax for a while you really cannot go wrong with this location. It has become my new regular spot.
