Cibus22 In Massa

31/10/2025: This review is a bit difficult for me... I usually try to highlight the positives and point out the negatives through suggestions (completely personal, of course). Here, I'm a bit "confused." This pastry shop, located behind the MareMonti shopping center in Massa, has EXCELLENT products; there were four of us, and we ordered cappuccino, coffee, barley cappuccino, and macchiato. For dessert, we had two cream croissants (delicious but not as creamy), a puff pastry with rice pudding, and a slice of Sachertorte. Prices: very reasonable. The place is very spacious, with plenty of tables, including on the covered veranda at the entrance. Service and staff: here's the sore point... It seemed a bit confusing: the girl at the counter was serving me as I was choosing desserts and she left me with the two cream croissants to serve another woman (her friend from the way they spoke) who had just entered. Then, instead of going back to serving me, she continued to exchange a few words with her friend... Then for drinks, I was served by another girl, after waiting "a little" time. We were in no rush, so the wait wasn't a problem, but at that moment in the pastry shop, apart from the four of us, there were only two people already seated at a table and two guys who had entered after us. After waiting for "the friends" to finish their chat, we took our order and brought it to our table. Who knows, maybe that's how it is here in Lunigiana 🤔. Anyway, overall, I recommend trying this bar/pastry shop because what they offer is good.

25/10/2025: I often go to this pastry shop for the truly excellent pastries, but I don't feel like giving it 5 stars because of the type of coffee used. I tried it several times before reviewing, and today I decided to give it a recommendation because, honestly, the brand of coffee they use is undeniable. It leaves a very bad aftertaste. I'd recommend changing suppliers. Otherwise, the place is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the pastries are superb.
