What makes a great cup of coffee?…read more We look for smoothness and complexity, with no off-flavors. The beans should be neither under-roasted nor charred, and the brew should have at least moderate aroma and flavor. All these features make a perfect cup of coffee which can add as much energy and freshness as you can imagine. And if you want to experience it, then here is the BEST place for you.

It's "Colazione da Bianca", which means "Breakfast at Bianca's", but they won't get offended if you…read moreswing by for an afternoon tea or coffee. This place has the Central Perk kind of vibe, for the Friends aficionados out there, a cafe where you feel like spending a good hour chatting with friends while also indulging a bit. The pastry and tart selection is definitely rich, the tea selection a bit on the low end, but acceptable. We had cappuccino and a selection of mignons, but I feel that the food is actually a secondary item, the atmosphere takes the cake, no pun intended. The place can get crowded, but there's a fast enough turnover so that the wait is never longer than 10 minutes. All credit cards are accepted, as long as you spend over €10. Add a couple of cookies and you're there already, because the pricing is also very NY-esque. The difference is that you have no skyscrapers around, but you're smack in the center of Bologna, walking distance to the major attractions. If you need to get that extra dose of caffeine after that dish of tagliatelle, or just rest after a day of strolling around, Bianca is a welcome oasis of sweet coziness.
