BAR CIRCOLO In Ballabio

01/09/2025: A café and pastry shop where you can buy delicious pastries and biscuits. The owner is friendly.

15/08/2025: This is a place that needs to be understood: just because the owners aren't overly cheerful doesn't mean they aren't kind or professional. We dropped in to pick up an Amazon package and ended up enjoying a delicious gelato (at absolutely fair prices) while admiring both the beautiful hydrangeas outside and the inviting display of macarons, pastries, and cakes (including one made only on August 15th, a real treat!). The slightly dated ambiance adds further character to the place. Let's not forget that this is a mountain village, where you shouldn't expect urbane treatment and pace, but rather adapt to the locals. Being a paying tourist doesn't mean you have the right to denigrate the people who have lived and worked here their entire lives.
