Il dolce risveglio In Iglesias

A very nice bar full of paintings and objects from Sardinia.

Top breakfast!! Beautiful place and super breakfast!!! Wide selection of croissants and pastries for breakfast!!! Excellent coffee and top service!!! The entire dining room is beautiful, including a smoking area. When we return to Iglesias, we'll definitely know where to go for breakfast. Highly recommended!!

Well, the photos speak for themselves: an excellent aperitif to enjoy with friends. The staff is friendly and the place is clean, with an outdoor area for smokers (and non-smokers) with sofas.

Wonderful bar, the most beautiful in Iglesias, I wish there were more places like this, kind, polite and helpful staff, impeccable service that is really rare to find these days ❤️

We were on vacation in Iglesias for a week and had breakfast here every morning! Croissants and pastries of every type and flavor until late morning, and they were delicious! The staff was professional and welcoming! As a great soy milk drinker, I drank some excellent soy cappuccinos! What can I say...truly excellent! If I ever return to Iglesias, this will be a must-visit!

Comfortable place, lots of variety and very stuffed croissants. Very good 😊😊

Great place impeccable service delicious food thank you ❤️

Average experience in this nice place associated with the pastry shop next door. Nice paintings on the walls as well as wooden masks or two TVs offer the possibility of watching music programs, often in vision. The place has expanded more and more until it has two fairly large lounges where you can enjoy a good breakfast, a yogurt, a snack, an infusion with many flavors or a piadina or a sandwich or one of the many other choices available. The wait can sometimes be annoying but for us it was quite short. The mocha with cream and Nutella was really good and tasty while the crunchy yogurt with cereals also deserved applause. The prices are normal, while a greater participation of the staff would be great. Today the water in a plastic cup seems to me a low quality service.

Pizzetta (capers and anchovies) priced slightly higher than the average in the Cagliari 'neighbourhood' - €1.50 compared to the usual €1.20 - but really delicious. I discovered it was their own production; they are also the owners of the pastry shop next door. The coffee, at €1.20, put both soul and wallet in agreement. Because if the pizzetta was delicious, the coffee is one of the best I've had (without sugar, of course) in 2025. And I know about that. I had already got into the car, but the yolk of doubt - the one that stays on your palate and in your mind - made me turn around. I got out and asked the barmaid what the brand was. I wondered if her gracious friendliness had affected the preparation. The interior design of the dining area - yes, they even do a lunch menu at a great price of €10! - did not convince me: modern and somewhat anonymous, where the wood fails to give the warmth one expects, especially in a space dedicated to dining. On the other hand, the old leather sofas outside (they look like they were just used by Sherlock Holmes), protected by the glass window, are true poetry. And the coffee counter at the entrance - again in wood - is majestic: it takes you back a little to the 1900s, when entering a café was a small event, an important gesture in the day. I wonder if they chose two different architects... because the dining area deserves to be on a par with the counter and the outdoor space. The smoking area, again between the sofas, is an obvious act of civilisation: by now, many cafés seem to have forgotten who smokes. The barista, with black glasses and a Sardinian accent, was polite to my every question about prices and wore a wonderful, sincere smile the whole time. Sometimes, at certain times of the year, I wear 'elegant poverty' - and I have to ask for prices in order to still allow myself the privilege of a good coffee. On my way out, I discovered that this café is just a few metres from the main square of Iglesias! So its prices, absolutely popular, are a declaration of respect and love for the traveller. So, if you are a tourist and find yourself in this area, I advise you from the heart: before visiting Pan di Zucchero, come here. Unfortunately, there are more dreamy beaches in Sardinia (thanks to nature alone) than unforgettable cafés (thanks to the talent and work of the people behind the scenes). The name of the café, Dolce Risveglio, could not have been more apt: it really is the right place when you need to stop and reawaken your senses in order to get going again.
