Caffè San Carlo In Torino

Magnificent little café where you can have lunch with a few à la carte dishes. They remain quite expensive but the setting, the service, the quality of what is served and the customers who seem to be accustomed to it still justify the prices. We tasted a pastry presented in the window… it was wonderful! Perfectly sweet and perfectly crunchy. A delight!!

Very nice environment, very good products, good service.

historic venue with excellent products

Beautiful setting, good food, it's a shame that the waitress was pissed off and the wait for a coffee and two ready-made mini pastries was over 15 minutes.

More than a bar, Caffè San Carlo is the history of Turin itself, and what is served there is part of an ancient art that other places can boast of having.

Historic bar in the center, I dare say has come to the fore for brioches and pastries which have recently been advertised on social media. In the WE you have to queue to access the venue. Outside there is normally a dehor in the square, which also guarantees a beautiful view of the historic Piazza San Carlo, from which the bar takes its name. In winter there is a small outdoor area under the porticoes, for the bravest. The brioches are excellent: the Denish is my favourite, with berries, but also the pain au chocolat and the famous Carla, with coffee. Fast and kind service. In the menu, in addition to the sweet breakfast you will also find a decent assortment for a savory breakfast. But you will also find the menu dedicated to lunch. Prices aligned with the type of venue. If you are walking through the streets of Turin and want to enjoy a coffee... or something else, take advantage of the view that this bar offers or enjoy its interior

Incredible environment and very high quality pastries. The best pan au chocolat I've ever eaten. And an excellent cappuccino with persistent foam

Excellent food, both sweet and savory. A place worth seeing but personal, perhaps because they have little experience, slow and at times unfriendly towards customers. A smile every now and then!

Immersed in history, with service and today's food

San Carlo coffee has definitely gone viral on social media in recent months for their famous leavened products. Today we went here around 8.45am to try them. After about five minutes of queuing we went in and sat down. The service was fast and friendly. Historic and well-kept place, spacious and welcoming. We ordered a pistachio chest and a Carla with coffee custard and coffee caramel. The puff pastries were exceptional, both of the highest level although I preferred the one from the casket. Exceptional pistachio in three different versions. Very very generous filling. In short, a nice dessert and above all very substantial. This one gets a nice 9. I liked the Carla a little less, you can't say it wasn't a top quality product but my personal taste definitely preferred the pistachio casket. Prices are adequate in my opinion. As for drinking, we ordered a snowy meadow. It was supposed to be a drink with whiskey, eggnog and cream. Alas we were very disappointed. Really small glass, non-existent cream or perhaps it was drowned, not very indefinite consistency and eggnog not received. Not to mention the price, €8.... However, we came to taste the leavened products and I can only give these 5 stars!
