Bar Umberto I In Novara

One of the best coffees in Novara

Excellent bar in the center of Novara on Corso Italia I really like the hot chocolate they have.

This place has become my go-to every time I pass through Novara! As far as I know, it's the only true specialty coffee bar in the city, and since they roast their own beans, they have a constant rotation. There's always something new to try. The service is simply excellent. I've tried both the espresso and the filter coffees, and the care they put into them makes all the difference. If you order a V60, they bring a tray with the extraction, a glass of water, and a small plate with a sample of the freshly ground coffee to your table, so you can smell the dry aromas before you even drink. A real treat that I appreciate so much! As for the prices, I find them very fair. An espresso with their house blend costs €1.50: I know that in neighboring towns you can still find coffee for €1.20, but I assure you that the small price difference is more than compensated by the huge improvement in quality in the cup. I often explore their specialty coffees: a double espresso costs €4-5, while a V60 costs €5-8. I even tried a Geisha V60 for €11.50. The place is cute and very quiet. A well-deserved five-star rating, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to drink real coffee!

I've been there for breakfast or lunch, and I have to say the croissants and coffee are top notch. I've always had great lunches. I highly recommend it! It never disappoints. The best bar in the historic center.

Excellent coffee and excellent desserts.

A must-see when we visit Novara. We love being able to choose our coffee blend and pair it with a few sweet treats. A treat in a retro atmosphere at truly affordable prices.

The staff is a bit hasty. The croissants are good.

Very good coffee The service is extremely slow, and rushing isn't good...

The best bakery in the neighborhood! Always fresh baked goods, especially the breakfast croissants: they're simply amazing. Here you can find both traditional Italian pastries and modern desserts. The prices are reasonable, and the service is fast and friendly. I recommend it to anyone looking for a quality breakfast or just a delicious dessert.
