Caffetteria Turandot In Lucca

Nice place in a fantastic location on Piazza San Michele.

A great time with the staff at this bar on a Saturday night! I recommend it for a drink!!!

We've been stopping here for a while now whenever we've been in Lucca. Besides the fact that the place is very beautiful and well-kept, with a perfect location (view of the cathedral), the staff is friendly, competent (giving you a glass of water with your coffee isn't something everyone can do), and kind. Excellent coffee, both macchiato and classic. Their rice pudding is also excellent. I also see they have a good selection of gin. The price is more than fair considering the location.

It's very conveniently located near the cathedral. You can just drop in and relax. The food is delicious.

Very friendly, very polite. The affrogato al cafe was really refreshing and delicious.

If you want to sit, enjoy drinks, have decent food, and watch the world of Lucca go by. You sit here. The staff are great and the food is pretty good too, if you want some quick bites.

Cappuccino with oat milk is available, but unfortunately, it's only mediocre. However, the view of the church and the square is very nice, and the service is friendly :)

Very nice café with very friendly service. I'd love to go back!

☕️🌅 CAFFETTERIA TURANDOT – LUCCA’S FRONT-ROW MASTERPIECE 🌅☕️ There are cafés… and then there is Turandot. If you find yourself in Lucca and don’t start your day here, I respectfully ask: what are you doing with your life? Set on the grand stage of Piazza San Michele, Turandot offers what few cafés in the world can: a front-row view of one of the most jaw-dropping churches in Tuscany, where morning light glides down its Romanesque facade like a divine spotlight. It’s not breakfast—it’s a religious experience with caffeine. Now picture this: early morning, the piazza is still stretching awake, and the Italian dogs are already out and about, confidently sniffing cobblestones and living their best Italian lives—fluffy, proud, and perfectly accessorized. You're sipping your coffee, watching these noble beasts like you're an aristocrat surveying your well-behaved subjects. And the café itself? Sublime. The coffee is smooth, the service unhurried yet attentive, and the vibe so perfectly serene you’ll swear time slows down to let you savor it. Turandot compares favorably—even triumphantly—to the legendary Panera Bread of Daly City, which, let’s be honest, sets the gold standard for suburban comfort. But Turandot? Turandot is that—but Italian, older, better dressed, and with a view that makes you question every other breakfast you’ve ever had. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Turandot isn’t just a caffetteria. It’s how mornings should feel.

Beautiful view, directly next to the Chiesa San Michele. Very friendly Staff, offering Service in english, too. Coffee and Dolci were very good. I recommend ordering a Caffè Shakerato and the Rice cake aswell ad the chocolate biscotti.
