Torrefazione Cannaregio

Make sure to join the right queue ‘coz the service can be slow. Need to first order and then pay before leaving. Still dreaming about the pistachio croissant I had here. It was just the right amount of flaky and the filling was delicious. Don’t miss out!

Excellent spot to go for your coffee and baked good when in Venice. It's best to go early in the morning as it starts to fill up throughout the afternoon. The service staff here are incredibly efficient and are always cleaning the few tables available so that everyone can have the chance to sit down and relax - very hard workers. Enjoy your light breakfast by the canal and soak up the sunshine before your big day of exploring!

Simply amazing. If you are in Venice, this is the only place to get quality coffee. Our family made it a point to make it here every day while we visited. The quality of the espresso and pastries is simply unmatched. For drip, you can even pick your beans, bring it to the counter and they’ll make it for you. Pastries are fresh and when they run out, they’re gone for the day so best to get there earlier if you want to try them all. Brother got a mango smoothie and loved that as well. Friendly staff that help guide everyone through the process of ordering and then paying after you are finished. Helps make you slow down and enjoy— I loved it. The line is nonstop so I think everyone else does as well :) I love everything about Venice but would actually come back just for this coffee shop alone. 20/10 recommendation.

I’ve visited 6 coffee shops in Venice. I’m not sure to rank this top or bottom. It’s complicated and personal. I like flat whites - a rare species in this town. According to smiley barista, only here and ….Starbucks (! Ergh) make them. Great start. Lots of attention to the coffee, these guys really seem to care. But - and I’m so sad there’s a but! - the milk was, IMO, awful! The first cup I abandoned after a couple of sips as it tasted like UHT (although the carton suggested otherwise, so maybe semi-skimmed?). But I really wanted it to work - friendly people, lovely spot - so I ordered my usual, an oat flat white. I checked the carton and was a little nervous as it wasn’t a Barista version….but hey, surely it’ll be ok? This was almost undrinkable for me. I took one sip and abandoned. Thin, oversweet, horrible. I’d have been better off at Starbucks. :( I realise (1) I’m in the spiritual home country of the drink I love, so I should tread lightly (2) this was easily the cafe with most potential we visited and (3) coffee is a VERY personal thing - my undrinkable is another persons unbeatable. But for me, this place has it all, except for the milk. Oh well.

One of the best coffee shops I ever visited. They have great variety of different kinds of coffee beans. I tried everyone and everyone is awesome! Taste is so full of flavour. The beans are amazing quality and they are roasted perfectly. If you are coffee lover you must go here. You can also buy some beans to have this perfect coffee at home. Extremely recommended.

This was a cute coffee place. The coffee was good, freshly brewed. The two flavors we took were average. The red velvet muffin was very soft and well done. The joint was cute and attracted a lot of crowd. The decor was quite unique and attractive.

They are a well-oiled machine here!! All the staff were very helpful & kind. The cappuccinos were FANTASTIC. I loved that they had so many different coffee bean options from different regions as well as dairy-free milks. Very cute spot & a ton of seating(which is a must for them since they’re always so busy!) green flags all around.

Lovely restaurant. We came here because we read good reviews. There’s was plenty of seating inside and outside. Canal seats were all taken, some tables opened up inside but you don’t say here for long (quick turnaround), as soon as we were done a lady came and sat at our table which to me was an inclination it’s time for us to leave 😅. Food was yummy. If you sit to eat/drink, you have to go back up and pay after. They won’t let you pay when you order. Self-service ordering.

Great small coffee shop. Very traditional and quant. Some seating inside and some table outside on the canal. Lots of raw beans to buy and take home, any weight bag you want. Will definitely go back!

Very cute cafe in Venice along a pleasant canal. This was one of the few cafes I encountered in Italy that offered alternative milk, so I had my first Italian oat milk latte here. It was creamy and paired well with my vegana jam filled croissant and made for a nice midday pick me up when I arrived in town. There is plenty of indoor seating, some outdoor and unlimited ambiance!

They pre-close and do not care about service. Refused to make coffee 20 min before their closing time because they are closed. Maybe they should change their hours to 12pm if they do not adhere to their opening hours. Refusing service we were met with no eye contact and particularly a younger girl with red hair rolling her eyes. We were told that there isn't good speciality coffee in Venice by numerous roasters throughout Europe so we wanted to find out ourselves. Too bad. We will never know.

the best cappuccino i've had in italy, while enjoying their beautiful outdoor seating. the croissants were mediocre but cappuccinos were fantastic - super smooth and milky :)

Excellent! We popped in for a coffee and found an incredible coffee shop! You could tell it was a place for locals and people who know coffee. They had a whole wall of coffee beans that people were buying and having ground in bulk. We got a cappuccino and flat white - both excellent. The croissants - plain, filled, piles of them - although we didn't try them, many others were gobbling them up!

Visited on my vacation to Venice. Delicious coffee and fresh pastries. The location is great and you can sip on your cappuccino while you watch the boats go by. It must be good because there were plenty of locals enjoying it as well :-) Definitely give this spot a try if you are visiting Venice!

Touted to be the only micro roaster in all of Venice - and it shows. No cold brew but the latte and cappuccino were on point, reminded me a bit of our hometown roaster back in Miami. Got the single bean cappuccino for 5 Euro and an iced latte for a bit less + an extra shit of really good espresso. Highly recommend, and in a great area as well in the new ghetto surrounded by some other great drinking and dining spots. Service was also fantastic and friendly, and they didn't mind my americanness which is always appreciated. Will be back next time!

Venice is a tourist trap. Being an island, they have to import everything. While some places try to import fresh ingredients, many simply buy frozen pre-made food and dish it to hapless tourists, who can't escape getting ripped off. Our quest was to find some gems that the locals frequent. This adventure led us away from the Grand Canal to the jewish ghetto, Cannaregio. This beautiful, mostly residential neighborhood has some charming coffee shops, trattoria's and other establishments that perhaps may represent the real Venice, a hidden Venice. You know you are in the right place, when there isn't a single voice speaking English, except ours of course. Torrefazione is perhaps the best coffee shop in Venice. Their baked goods are baked in Venice using artisanal ingredients. Their coffee beans is curated from around the world. Espresso from India, check, from Madagascar, check, and from South America, check and mate. I had some mocha, and it was some of the best mocha in northern Italia. This made me adventurous for something special. So I asked the barista to surprise me. Here's what he ended up making: An insanely delicious cappuccino-latte with real pistachio syrup. It wasn't too sweet, but the combination of pistachio and coffee beans is divine. It looks green, but it tastes like pistachio coffee. If you ever get a chance to make your way to Cannaregio, you cannot make a better pit-stop than Torrefazione Cannaregio. Trust the barista and get the pistachio latte.

One of my favorite places in Venice. When you think of an Italian coffee shop, this place it it. We visited this coffee shop everyday during our stay in Venice.

Adorable little coffee shop with American style coffee if you are into that. Delicious pastries and friendly baristas. Right on the canal with outdoor seating.

Torrefazione Cannaregio is a gleaming jewel of a destination for those of us who love excellent coffee! In my experience, the coffee in Italy is generally excellent. It's so good that you'll have serious withdrawal for it when you find yourself back in the US. Bearing in mind how generally high the coffee bar is, Torrefazione Cannaregio takes the quality of their brew to a whole new level of quality :-) When you come here, consider induling in several cups so you can sample some of the different types and varieties available. You'll probably end up staying up through most of the night, but the experience will be totally worth it! Tip: If you (like me) find youself falling in love with the coffee here, be sure to buy some beans to take back to the US with you; it'll help cushion the pain of withdrawal ;-)

i had the caffé shakerato and it was amazing! great atmosphere and staff was amazing as well.

This place is hands down the best coffee I've had on my three week trip to Italy and probably the best I've ever had, full stop. We got a couple of cappuccinos and an espresso, and the espresso was honestly the best I've ever had - the coffee was really flavoursome without losing anything to the bitterness usually accompanying an espresso. The staff run a slick operation, and although it is quite big, there is very limited seating/tables with mostly standing room. If you're in Venice and enjoy coffee - you have to go here! My only regret is not buying a few of bags of the various types of beans that they have.

The coffee is great, returned many times. But the red headed worker, maybe the manager was rude. I don't expect service to be great, especially for a coffee shop but this one worker a couple times was overtly rude. 4 stars because the craft of the coffee is so good and for the most part the staff was great.

If I could get their beans shipped overseas, I would. Soo good. Best black I have ever tasted. I should have bought more. Back before the pandemic, this was a known go-to spot for espresso and baked goodies (casual Italian style coffee, of course). Since the pandemic, I've been craving their beans. Beautiful bloom with an easy taste that's memorable. Now I need to go back to Venice.

The barista who handled our order was lovely and accommodating, despite the language barrier. Our latte was delicious. If only I found this place earlier!

I had an excellent flat white here. They roast their own coffee, and the quality is top notch. It was so good that I bought some of their Nespresso capsules for the office. While the quality of espresso is great, the pods are poorly assembled and stop up both the Nespresso machines in my office. It seems that the capsules may be overfilled, and so the water can't get through once the espresso expands a bit. I would definitely go back for espresso, but I would obviously advise against getting their Nespresso pods.

If you're in Cannaregio and just want some good coffee, a light snack of pastries, and to chill out. This is a solid spot. Try their "bagel salato" which is definitely not a bagel but instead basically just a croissant filled with varying ingredients like cheeses or prosicutto. Misnomer but still tasty.

The baristas are so kind, they speak English, make great iced lattes. Best coffee on the island hands down. Worth the walk. The environment is hipster too.

This was certainly the best coffee place in Venice! The main guy there, who was tending the espresso station, appeared to be the owner and definitely knew his coffee. Owner and staff were great and understood and spoke English well enough to get this poor American and his family through the line. Excellent selection of pastries (croissants, cakes, and sweet breads) to accompany our daily cappuccinos and cafe lattes. For first time American visitors, please note, in Italy (well at least in Venice), coffee is a rather quick experience. Not lot back in the States where we tend to overstay our time in a local cafe writing novels and contemplating the meaning of life (jk!).

The ambiance was great, we looked up this place on yelp and were not disappointed. The coffee was amazing and the vegan cookies with ginger were delicious. I wished later I had picked up another pack before leaving Venice . The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the coffee temperature was not as hot as I prefer - but to give the preparer his due - he informed me that he does not make flat white with burnt / or extra hot milk as it is carcinogenic. And I have been told that by my regular coffee shop in Providence too:) So it's really a 4.5 star review Will definitely go back the next time we are in Venice

Some of the best coffee I've ever had...rich, dark, smooth. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly service.

Hands down the best espresso place in Venice. Everywhere else on the island was a complete joke by comparison. In the week or so I stayed in Venice, I patronized Torrefazione at least two times a day, and on each occasion the espresso was consistently excellent, even during times one would expect attention to detail to be less than optimal. Every time I ordered an espresso, the pull-times were virtually perfect: the result was a smooth, rich, caramel front followed by a smoky finish which, needless to say, left no bitter aftertaste. Never once was I served an over-extraction. Yet even during the busier times, the barista never served me an espresso after the crema had dissipated. (Once that happens, by the way, the espresso becomes undrinkable. All the fine oils from the bean's roast, which an espresso is meant to extract, dissolve into the liquid, leaving undrinkable sludge.) But given the pride that Torrafazione takes in its espresso - they roast their own beans right in full view of its patronage - I'm not surprised that I never received anything less than excellent from them. It was truly a delight to stand at their bar and to sip on one beautifully-crafted espresso after another.

We were in need of some coffee but didn't want to pay a hefty price in a touristy area like Venice so we pulled up Yelp and found this quaint cafe. It is a very small space and gets filled up with locals and tourists. Being from the states we're used to lines and organization when it comes to placing an order, here it's completely different. You just flag down the barista, give them your order and before you leave you pay up front at the cash register. I had a cappuccino and my husband had their espresso. Espresso is only 0.90 cents! That's cheaper than in Rome. My cappuccino was 1.40 euros and was delicious. If you're looking for good coffee at a decent price you should definitely stop by!

A must for a typical Italian breakfast of espresso and cornetto (croissant). For under 7 euros, my husband and I splurged on a nice breakfast. Freshly baked goods and great c

This coffee was delicious! It was a hot day so we ordered to iced lattes and enjoyed them on the canal. The iced lattes were a little pricey for their size (€4). Other items on menu looked more reasonably priced!

What a lovely place, the best coffee in town. If you want an experience with local people, go there and you won't be disappointed. People come and go before going to work, drinking their coffee in one shot, the Italian way ;) If you love coffee, you must definitely go there!

Really great place. The coffee is good and strong if you want it. You need to ask for the bean and the roast you want. For "Italian style" coffee, I like to order 100% robusta beans with a dark roast and no milk or sugar. Just espresso. The pastries we're a remarkable surprise. They have multigrain croissants and a veriety of flavours from ginger and honey to Berry and anise. Wonderful. Lastly, they allow dogs. Spacious store but it gets packed with tourists and locals.

I have to respect a coffee roasters but their coffee was a bit bitter and acidic.....regardless, it was affordable and they have a ton of varieties to choose from...maybe I chose the wrong one. It's worth checking this place out if you're passing by.

Coffees from around the globe! Purchased the strongest brand they had to carry home. A lover of coffee follows their nose seeking out the extraordinary. Nestled in the streets of Venice this nostalgic aroma leads the unprepared. Small, quaint, with a rugged look this inn creates a feeling of warmth. You can watch as the coffee is hand roasted in house with an amazing aroma. Smokey and quite busy you can order small/large bags to go or simply enjoy an expression or one of the favorites you selected to carry home. It's a go to spot of Venice as customers were in and out and some simply enjoying their expresso, macchiato, cappuccino, etc. stop by and enjoy a cup of whatever your favorite might be. You won't be disappointed...

Venice is meant to be explored. Every bridge, every dead end, every gelato stall, and every coffee shop is a destination in their own right. This one is no exception. This place serves amazing coffee, which you enjoy standing (there are no seats), next to the coffee bar. I enjoyed a cappuccino and a tiramisu (sorry, it's nonalcoholic). It's a tight space with a lot of foot traffic, so drink your €1.50 cappuccino and get going to your next destination!

Amazing cappuccino and croissants. Croissants are self service, picking the one you you want at the bar. Coffee was tasty and ambiance was nice. Actually a nice sit down place to enjoy Venice and breakfast or snack.

Best macchiato I've had for only €1. Super casual environment--you order at the bar, sip your drink at the bar and pay when you're ready to leave. I came here every day when I was in Venice.

Great cafe for a quick breakfast. We stopped in for a quick breakfast of coffee and a pastry at the walk-up bar. The service was friendly and casual. The pastries were displayed on a small table where you just picked up what you wanted, self-service style. The coffee was delicious, as expected in Italy. Our total bill for two croissants and a double coffee was 5€. Good, quick, and inexpensive. Checks all the boxes for us.

Lovely place with quality macchiato and coffee aroma. The place itself is kinda hidden in such a crowded and touristic street like Sestiere Cannaregio. I passed it 3 times and just keep looking for it for about 10 minutes. But, it is worth the effort. I love the coffee and definitely come back.

Wonderful coffee, great atmosphere and incredible service. Best coffee Ive had in venice!

Good place to get some cheap and quick coffee. It's a stand up place so no tables to sit and enjoy coffee. It's ok though cause we were on our way to catch our train. Good pastries, fast service, can't really complain!

I love that this place exists in Venice! A great place to get a wonderful coffee/espresso drink - standing room only. Quick service and knowledgeable staff. Would definitely visit again.

I came here because people seemed to love it. I had a cappuccino and it just tasted like most cappuccinos I've had. It wasn't bad by any means but I didn't find this place to be all that special!

It's a busy street but it's pretty easy to spot this restaurant to come in for a Super delicious espresso as well as the frenzy local atmosphere. Perfect place for stopping for espresso on your way to sightseeing.

I had an expresso here and bought 3kg of their Miscela del Ghetto to bring home and give as gifts. It was excellent and a wonderful souvenir of my trip to Venice.

I was relieved when we found Torrefazione Marchi. I like coffee and prefer to get it from places that focus on serving coffee. Marchi is one of the few places in Venice that seems to do this right. No tourist nonsense, just a good cup of coffee for a good price. There is no seating, so you'll have to suck down a cup at the small bar. It's €0.90 for espresso, €1.20 for americano and €1.30 for capaccino (I think). They have a lot more than that, but I don't remember the names and prices. It's located on the main tourist street but doesn't have a big sign, so it's easily missed. Keep your eyes peeled! Also, Yelp has the wrong address, so don't go wandering off into the residential neighborhood. Check it out, it's a quality cup of coffee for a nice price.

The drinks and food at this cafe were great. We are from America and did not know the rules for ordering. I was unaware that we ordered and then paid afterwards, even though our order was to go. The cashier yelled at the top of his lungs "THIS ISNT STARBUCKS, SO ORDER YOUR FOOD OVER THERE" if he wasn't so rude and disrespectful, it would have been 5 stars.

Excellent espresso at a great price. Order, drink, and then pay. My husband had the espresso, I had the cappuccino, both were delicious.

Smoothest coffee we've had on our whole Europe trip. We'll be back again tomorrow morning to repeat.

Yum. Hands down the best espresso and cappucinos we had in all of Italy. There are no tables so you have to be prepared to stand at the counter so it makes for a more quick, Italian-style cup of coffee vs. the lingering we have in America, but it's worth it. The espresso was so, so smooth and the cappuccino even came with a bit of latte art (no doubt catering to me as an American since latte art isn't really an Italian thing, but it was fun none the less). And since they roast in house, the smell was amazing. And even with all that, the prices were beyond fair - just under a Euro for an espresso an 1,40 Euro for the cappuccino. Love!

Best cappuccino in Venice for a great price. Only standing room but a fun little excursion while we were on our way to the train.

Very good coffee and environment!. There were mainly just local people and students. It feels really just like a cafe that is visited by local people.

A really great place to get your morning coffee and a snack. The prices are great and it was WiFi!
