What a charming little cafe! We went twice during our visit and if we come back to Perugia we would definitely come here again. Lovely, friendly staff, chilled vibe, and great coffee and pastries. I can’t drink caffeine so had a hot chocolate one morning and it was genuinely delicious. Reasonable prices too. There’s no issue with cleanliness (and I’m very fussy), there is mainly only one woman working there so sometimes she can’t do everything at once. Most people realise this and take their finish cups and plates up to the bar. Highly recommended.

Found this small cafe just round the corner from where we stayed Perugia. Only ate a little though every morning it provided smooth and full flavoured coffee. Staff were always helpful and service with a smile.
