Cappuccino was nice, has a slight bittered taste. Seems like it's an authentic place, as there is no "to go" option and no place to sit, so be ready to stay. Also you can buy coffee beans inside They accept card payment.

The best coffee I've ever had. Lots of flavor and great crema on the espresso. They also sell their blend so you can take it home and enjoy it while reminding yourself to schedule your next trip Venice.

Very nice café with lots of things to order Cappucino costed 1.8e and was, to my pleasant surprise, bigger than any other in the town for this price. Taste mild, not burned- it was nice :D Very good place to hide when it's hot outside. Not a lot of noise from the outside was big plus for us

Best cappuccino I've had in Venice hands down. Super friendly. The price seems like it's from 4 decades ago (€1.3). A must visit if you are in Venice.
