Caffè San Marco

Via Cesare Battisti 18, Trieste (TS) · Italia

Our editorial review

A historic venue opened in 1914 and a meeting place for Saba, Svevo and Joyce. The Illy espresso is poured with professional consistency and the counter price stays in the city average. The Art Nouveau hall with Vito Timmel’s panels is worth the visit alone, as is the in-house bookshop, open late. Perfect for a solo nero or a long breakfast.
