If you have been following me on any social media, you must know that I am a mad coffee addict. I do live in Italy after all and coffee is pretty much a right of passage here.
Here are my my favorite finds of the moment and in no particular order. Be warned they will change slightly in the Summer as drinking coffee outdoors is dreamy.
1. Bar Lento
Lento means "slow" in Italian. I can definitely say that they named this bar perfectly because not only can you go and chill for hours with a good book, your computer or just chatting with friends, but the service is crazy slow. This doesn't bother me so much as I like the retro vibe that is going on over there. Located on a small street right in the center of town, this shop is filled with antiques and oddities and anything that you see, you can buy. Kind of a cool concept. Great selection of organic and vegan cakes and treats as well as a variety of different milks for people that don't want a simple espresso or latte.

2. Nècessaire
I probably love this one so much because it is in my neighborhood but it really is so charming. Located in Borgo San Giovanni, it has a sort of industrial, modern look going on in the front with antique furniture and comfy chairs near the back for a little more privacy. They also have an awesome little patio which is heated in the winter. The presentation of drinks and food is always impeccable. Unique pastries and cakes in the morning as well as eggs and bacon if you ask for it. (thanks boys) Needless to say the coffee is awesome. I must mention that the aperitivo here is amazing! They organize different events weekly whether it be jazz or sushi and they have a wicked eye for detail with the special drinks. Don't forget to get the plate of food that is on offer for only a few more euros with your drink. It is always filled with unique local cheeses, salami, prosciutto and various jams & spreads. You will not be disappointed for breakfast, lunch or dinner here.

3. Pasticceria Vecchi
After you pass over Ponte Tiberio going into Borgo San Giuliano, do not forget to stop at Pasticceria Vecchi located on the right. This cafè is a classic, old school style cafè with homemade pastries that will make you cry they are so good. If you can get a table outside, you will have the wonderful view of the old bridge and the Marrecchia Park. Definitely worth a stop here for breakfast or perhaps to get a coffee in the afternoon before strolling through town.

4. Circus
In the middle of town, right behind the city hall you will find this treasure a caffe. Fantastic interiors and chill vibe will make your stop here well worth it. The pastries are amazing and I suggest the cinnamon roll or the brioche with pistachio creme. Dreamy! They also have a casual lunch and dinner menu which consists mainly of fantastic sandwiches made with homemade bread. You also have the option here of eating inside or outside.

5. Pascucci
This is the only coffee shop on the list that is at the beach (well, one street in from the beach). I personally love Pascucci because I can get my cappuccino to go. Beware on a Sunday as the line is long and disorganised but I find it totally worth it. Huge selection of sweet pastries and cakes and their coffee is excellent. Great place to read the morning paper and people watch. However as said before, I love to get it to go (it's the American in me) and go for a walk on the beach.
