Ordering and choosing what to try
Find a table, then order at the counter. The café serves both dine-in and takeaway orders. If you want to taste gelato, note that sampling is limited to one flavour at a time. The shop can get busy, so an earlier visit may make for a calmer stop.
The menu covers a lot of ground, from coffee and pastries to elaborate gelato desserts. If you are there for a quick coffee, keep to a drink and a small pastry; for a longer dessert break, choose a crepe, cake or gelato bowl. Prices can feel high for a single scoop, so consider one of the larger pastry or dessert options if you want more than a small taste.
