Caffe Portomaso
In an earlier post (A Simple Pleasure), I referred to Caffe Portomaso as one of my favourite coffee places. Although one can also have a meal there, I haven't done so and will therefore restrict my comments to the cafe aspect.
One of the reasons I'm drawn to Caffe Portomaso is because with three of its four walls being constructed entirely of glass, it's suffused with natural light. Thus, even when sitting inside, it's just like being outside on the spacious terrace.
Then, for those with a sweet tooth like myself, there's the interesting selection of cakes to compliment a cappuccino or pot of tea. One of my favourites is the carrot cake, although anything which contains chocolate usually offers stiff competition to it.
Finally, the price. €5 for coffee and cake is pretty reasonable, all the more so when taking into consideration the availability of free wi-fi.
