Caffetteria Drogheria Giusti on Via Farini is a Modena grocer-cafe hybrid on the city's historic-shops register, pairing coffee with a deli counter.
DrinkEspresso, aperitivo wine list
TipSeating is limited and prices sit above average; it earns its keep on the balsamic vinegar and salumi counter, not just the coffee.
Mon Cafe on Corso Canalchiaro runs breakfast through dinner in central Modena, and Gambero Rosso's 2025 guide rated it among the city's best bars.
DrinkCappuccino, aperitivo cocktails
TipIt stretches into a full aperitivo and dinner room by evening, so a plain coffee is easiest before noon.
Cathedrali Pasticceria sits on Corso Duomo facing Modena's cathedral, a Gambero Rosso-rated bar pasticceria for breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee.
DrinkEspresso with a view of the Duomo
TipOutdoor tables look straight at the cathedral facade; Monday afternoons are the one time it closes early.
Maison Livre on Via Emilia Centro runs breakfast, lunch and aperitivo under one roof, a Modena bar the Gambero Rosso guide singled out in 2025.
DrinkBreakfast pastry, aperitivo cocktails
TipIt doubles as a caterer for private events, so the daily lunch specials can sell out by early afternoon.

Caffè Oleari on Modena's Via Manfredo Fanti opens before dawn for espresso, gnocco fritto and home-baked pastries near the Crocetta rail line.
DrinkEspresso with gnocco fritto
TipIt opens at 04:30 for market porters and shift workers; the gnocco fritto with ham is the classic order.
Stracaffé on Modena's Via Morane pours espresso, pastries and a daily brunch and wine-bar menu, open Monday to Saturday until 18:00 in Buon Pastore.
DrinkEspresso and pastry brunch plate
TipIts wine-bar hours only run to 18:00, so it works best as a daytime coffee and brunch stop rather than an evening one.
