This charming café has a rich history dating back to 1803. Originally a hotspot and meeting point for politicians, writers, and artists, today is provides a cozy and discreet atmosphere in Lugano Old Town, and is the go-to place perfect for business meetings or casual lunches.

It's right in the middle of the old town and its unmissable with their outdoor seating where you will find locals sipping on coffes while reading the newspapers, the sight really gave me Paris/Milano vibes!

I came here on multiple visits for their amazing selections of cakes and pastries, they were very exquisite and beautiful. And the hot chocolate is a must-get too!

Def include this for your tea-time break when in Lugano.
