Address: Via Mazzini 75, 37121 Verona
Caffe Mazzini in Verona is the long-running Via Mazzini terrace cafe, a steady mid-shopping-street stop for espresso. A 2026 TableJourney editor pick.
Signature drink: Verona spritz on the historic Via Mazzini
Tip: Order at the counter for €1.50 espresso; the terrace charges €5 for the same drink for the seated street view.
Caffe Monte Baldo in Verona doubles as one of the city's cicchetti standing-counter operations, open 10:00 to midnight daily for ombra and crostini lunch.
Signature drink: Ombra di Soave Classico
Tip: Treat it as a counter aperitivo first: an ombra of Soave Classico (€2) plus three crostini (€6) is the locals' 11:00 ritual.
Pasticceria Flego's Corso Porta Borsari outpost in Verona runs the family's pastry-and-coffee counter near Caffe Borsari. A 2026 editor pick.
Signature drink: Espresso with the Verona pandoro slice
Tip: From mid-November to Epiphany, ask for a slice of the house pandoro at the counter; the rest of the year, the Baci di Giulietta carry the menu.
Dolce Locanda is Giancarlo Perbellini's central Verona pastry counter on Via Catullo, opened in 2014 with an open-kitchen coffee corner. A 2026 editor pick.
Signature drink: Espresso with Veronese pastry by Giancarlo Perbellini
Tip: The risino (Veronese rice cake reinterpreted by the chef) plus espresso is the morning move; pandoro A Ernesto carries November to early January.
Antica Bottega del Vino's marble counter has poured Verona's reference ombra since 1890 on Vicolo Scudo di Francia, 4,500 labels on the back bar.
Signature drink: Ombra of Amarone Classico
Tip: Stand at the counter for the ombra-and-cicchetti circuit; sit for the full kitchen. The 2018 Amarone Classico by the glass is the move.
Casa Coloniale's chocolate counter in Verona runs alongside Caffe Coloniale on Piazza Viviani, with hot chocolate October to March and boxed pralines at €8.
