Reviewed January 21, 2023 via mobile

In 4 days in Bologna, I took out pastries 3 days in a row. They are really delicious. I especially loved the Bigne which are cream puffs filled with various fillings. Zabaglione was a particular favorite. Service is efficient and courteous but not super warm....I did not sit down - a sit down experience might be better. especially when it is busy, the counter servers are harried and probably could use some help. The atmosphere looks very old-world cool.More

A few foodgasms were had in Bologna, this was one of them. I was absolutely delighted to find that they had maritozzi from Rome and also the baba al rhum which I missed out on in Milan. Just divine sweet breakfast heaven, perfection really. The...place was quite busy on a Sunday morning at 8.30am. Was glad I brought a little beignet with cream to go and enjoyed this back at my hotel, they have lots of minis to enjoy, great selection. Service excellent, nice spacious bakery for dining in, first class service. Loved this place, this is a must for breakfast in Bologna. Not to be missed! I cannot say enough good things.More

We had wonderful pastries and good coffee here. There was plenty of seating. The WiFi was apparently not working at the time, but hey, enjoy your breakfast instead!

Well worth seeking out this place for coffee and pastries. There are so many pastries to choose from and they all look delicious. Sit towards the back and you can watch the bakery in action. The bakers then bring the fresh pastries into the deli....It was very busy but plenty of tables. Great place to start your walk near the canals.More

This cafe was recommended by our Airbnb host, who said the pastries and cakes were some of the best he'd had in Bologna. We don't think he was wrong and we had breakfast here every morning of our 4 night stay. The pastries were usually...still warm and were so delicious! My husband's favourite was the pistachio cream pastry while I liked the pecan. We also had coffee which was lovely and tried some of the cakes which were delicious! It was always busy with locals having their morning coffee. Very reasonably priced and staff were friendly despite us not speaking very much Italian! Grazie Borbonica!More
