Caffè Ateneo In Palermo

Delicious coffee, awesome panini

A bar frequented by students and others. Its charming exterior recalls the café's long history and the generations of students who frequented it. Worth a visit.

The food and coffee were delicious, but a bit expensive. The woman who served us was relatively unfriendly, though. It was also very loud outside, as if the ventilation was making strange noises.

The best coffee but in a not so good spot in the center. The space with the tables and chairs is not very neat.

5€ is a bit steep for a cappuccino (lukewarm) and a microwaved soggy croissant. Would not recommend it. Also, although the terrace is comfortable, there were annoying flies everywhere which made for a very unpleasant breakfast. I’d suggest (1) NEVER put a croissant or any bread that is supposed to be crispy, in a microwave; you’ll get mush (2) the cappuccino should be warmer (3) clean the tables after each guest departs & (4) do something about the flies. My table had a filthy ashtray which made the entire experience unpleasant & unhygienic. Probably the worse breakfast experience ever in Italy (and I’ve lived in Italy 3+ years) and visit often. This safe has potential though. Just take care of the above and it’ll be fine… especially the filthy tables, flies & mushy croissant. I RARELY leave a negative review.

The best coffee we had in Palermo
