Leccese As the name suggests, this classic bar is renowned for cotognata, Lecce’s quince paste, but it sells a range of other sweet specialties.

The thing that makes me the saddest about leaving Puglia is leaving this place behind. I have traveled worldwide, and this has become one of my favorite places ever. It’s just perfect, literally. The food is life-changing. We stayed in Lecce for 4 days and came here for breakfast 3 times. We tried almost everything they have (pasticciotto alla crema, pasticciotto al pistacchio, rustico, panzerotto, fruttone). The only thing we didn’t like much was the bigné al pistacchio. All the rest was utterly mind-blowing. Also, if you’re looking for the best pasticciotto in town, look no more: it’s here (and I’ve tried a lot). All of this with super fair prices (they even round down the bill if you don’t have the exact change in cash). The first day we hadn’t taken the pasticciotto, and the guy brought one to our table to try it, without making us pay for it, and said, “I just want you to verify that it’s the best in town”. It was indeed (and he kept up his word and didn’t add it to the bill, which was a super nice gesture). The staff is the best, too. Everyone working here is so friendly and efficient that it’s a pleasure to see them work and chat with. They will explain to you what every single item has and how it’s made with all the patience and passion in the world. They are incredible people for real. If you visit Lecce, you MUST come to this place. You would miss out on an incredible local experience if you don't.

Traditional Leccese bar. They offer pastry and salty delicatessen from the area, made in house in their laboratory. Everything was excellent! I dont have pictures cause we consumed everything very fast. I totally recommend for breakfast or aperitivo!

Nice pastry and terrace, very slow and rude service. Pomegranate juice heavily watered down and expensive, avoid. There are many better places.

Pure quality and service of the heart! Unique patisserie in Lecce.

Nice bar, away from the busy city centre. Good selection of sweets and drinks. The cappuccino was very good, they also serve water with the coffee. The prices are fair and it was not crowded when we visited. 4 stars for service as there was no toilet paper. Enjoy!

This is definitely where the locals are going. It was packed when we arrived and smelled divine! They also have tall glasses of fresh squeezed OJ which was a massive plus for me.

Wonderful mostly local place, outside of the touristy area. Great selection; their cherry and pistachio pasticciotios are delicious. Waitress Barbara was also very welcoming with attention - if you get this Barbara, Grazie di cuore! The chef was also very nice. I went every morning for the week I was there.
