il Vicoletto pizzeria napoletana In Briona

06/03/2026: This place has become my go-to every time I pass through Novara! As far as I know, it's the only true specialty coffee bar in the city, and since they roast their own beans, they have a constant rotation. There's always something new to try. The service is simply excellent. I've tried both the espresso and the filter coffees, and the care they put into them makes all the difference. If you order a V60, they bring a tray with the extraction, a glass of water, and a small plate with a sample of the freshly ground coffee to your table, so you can smell the dry aromas before you even drink. A real treat that I appreciate so much! As for the prices, I find them very fair. An espresso with their house blend costs €1.50: I know that in neighboring towns you can still find coffee for €1.20, but I assure you that the small price difference is more than compensated by the huge improvement in quality in the cup. I often explore their specialty coffees: a double espresso costs €4-5, while a V60 costs €5-8. I even tried a Geisha V60 for €11.50. The place is cute and very quiet. A well-deserved five-star rating, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to drink real coffee!
