This place was only 3 doors away from our rented condo. It was recommended by the owner. He loves the maritozzo here and I agree!
This is a very small, typically Italian interior with a few tables inside and a larger seating area outside.
When I was there, it was mostly local people and I like this. I want to avoid other tourists as much as possible.
I walked inside and stood at the counter like a local and I was acknowledged immediately with a “Bongiorno, Ciao!” and a smile.
Everyone here was very polite and friendly.
I speak Italian but where I live in the US in Northwest Ohio, there are no other family or people I know who do, so it has been a long time since I have had any practice. Even though I made some terrible mistakes, the staff was never rude or belittling. They cheerfully helped me and never made me feel stupid. I really appreciated this.
The espresso was excellent as were the maritozzo and other pastries I purchased here.
I ordered three “Cafe Americano” to bring back for my family and Cafe Lembo has these delightful little plastic slings with holes so you can carry two coffees very easily.
The prices here were very reasonable. No tourist price gouging like so many other places.
So, I truly enjoyed this place and have gone there for two days now. Tommorow, Easter Sunday, I will go again because it’s that nice.
If you want great coffee and pastry, and to be like a local, go here. You will be happy you did.
Grazie mille Caffe Lembo!
