This may be the lower rated of the cafes in Verona Porta Nova, but after several experiences recently I think the coffee here is superior. Espresso was strong, service was quick, and things were completed as requested. Prices were good, especially for a train station cafe. Next time I'm in Verona I'll be skipping the main cafe and coming back here!

Very friendly barista and surprisingly good coffee. We had two cappuccinos but someone ordered an aperol spritz at 10am lol. Definitely worth the 15 minute walk!

The decaf capuchino was really good, 1.6euros. The sandwich was okay, a little expensive (4.9eu). The place it's nice because you have space to sit and wait the train.
