La Vela Ristobar In Balestrate

06/11/2025: We visited Bar Hollywood twice for our morning cappuccino and it quickly became a favorite. This is a truly local coffee shop, and we loved being the only tourists there—it made the experience feel genuinely Sicilian! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The staff was extremely friendly, and despite the place being busy with local customers, they were very patient and helpful with us. They offer a huge variety of fresh pastry choices, perfect for a quick, delicious Italian breakfast. The value here is incredible: for example, the large Krapen (bombolone/doughnut) was fantastic and only one euro! The cappuccino was excellent as well. If you are staying nearby and want to skip the tourist traps for an authentic, high-quality, and very affordable start to your day, look no further than Bar Hollywood. Highly recommended for a real taste of local life.
