26/05/2025: Service was lovely! Had a really nice pastry with vanilla custard inside and a coffee (€5 total) and both were really nice and came quick. Sat outside in the sun.
14/05/2025: Bar - Cornetteria - Tabaccheria Magma H24, near Pompeii’s entrance, is a lively 24-hour spot perfect for a coffee break while exploring the region. The espresso is bold and aromatic, a proper Italian pick-me-up, served swiftly at the bustling counter. Their cappuccino, topped with creamy foam, pairs beautifully with warm, flaky cornetti—try the pistachio spread for a rich, indulgent twist. Prices are reasonable, with a cornetto and coffee combo around €3–5, and card payments are accepted. The atmosphere is quintessentially Italian: locals chatting, scooters buzzing outside, and a cozy chaos that feels authentic. Open round-the-clock, it’s ideal for early starts or late-night cravings, offering delivery and takeout too. The staff is generally friendly, though service can feel rushed during peak hours, and some visitors note occasional lapses in cleanliness. Gluten-free options, like chocolate-filled cornetti, are a thoughtful touch. Outdoor seating adds charm, but street parking is tricky due to a no-stopping zone nearby. Despite mixed reviews on service consistency, Magma’s affordable treats and strong coffee make it a convenient stop for travelers. For a quick, tasty caffeine fix with local flair, it’s a solid choice—just don’t expect a serene café vibe.
