Bar Alba In Palermo

27/05/2025: The location is perfect, right next to the cathedral. I really liked the tiramisu. However, the unfortunate fact is that after buying the tiramisu to take away, we decided to sit at a table outside, where the cashier himself directed us. When we did, the waiter who served outside came and asked us to leave because our purchase was to take away. In order to stay, we ordered coffee… Weak.

27/05/2025: Stopped by for a mid-morning coffee and pastry. The coffee was good, but the cannolo was average at best. They offer a wide selection of sweets, which might be a downside, as quality can sometimes get lost in quantity. The interior has a certain charm, but the outdoor seating feels generic and uncomfortable, lacking character. Staff were polite, though the overall feeling was that they’re simply processing tourists rather than creating a welcoming experience. The best thing about this place is undeniably its location – right on the Duomo square, offering a beautiful view. Still, given the long tradition behind the name, it’s a pity the current offering doesn’t quite live up to it. You might want to look elsewhere if you're seeking something more authentic.
