Their citron crosissant is one of the BEST croissants I've ever had. Their honey and jam filled croissants were also excellent. I would suggest coming before 9am, as many of the best pastries seem to sell out by 10am. The staff are very helpful and friendly as well. They have a patio by the canal during brunch time. My husband and I ate here multiple times during our trip to Venice and we loved it.

This was one of my favourite places during our 3 weeks in Italy. Great cocktails. Amazing service. And just the best location for people watching and hanging out. Felt very local which is what I like when travelling. Shout out to the bartender, Marco. The best!
