Caffe San Marco - TRIESTE

Loved this place. It’s been around since 1904. It’s a bookstore, cafe, and bar with baked goods for breakfast and lunch in the afternoon. Do not leave Trieste without visiting this amazing cafe. Also appreciate the capable servers who called me a taxi when there seemed to be no taxis to be found. They really went out of their way and I so appreciate it. This is one of my favorite coffee places in all of Italy and I’ll be back. The espresso was perfection.

Beautiful interior. The coffee and tea are excellent. They have a wide range of loose leaf tea. They also have lots of cocktails. The quality of these depend on whose making them Cakes are nice. Sandwiches are awful avoid. But try some cakes. Most are great

Great atmosphere .Of the four oldest cafes in Trieste this was the best . It was a pleasant surprise to have several gluten free options . The Bone marrow and the tripe dishes were exceptional. The gluten free chocolate cake was disappointing . The service was very good and the waiter spoke fluently in English .

I gave one last to the latest reviews before writing my and some criticisms surprised me. I returned to this historic coffee after years of absence for 2 times, of which 1ieri for participation in a presentation of a book. the service is kind and attentive friendly and helpful staff, even what appreciable of these times have checked the green pass. I find a pleasant place for a consummation, but also to stop talking or simply to read, feeling part of a whole varied and multiple. I recommend it.

From 1914, the meeting point of intellectuals and artists, has kept its charm unchanged. for me remains the most fascinating of Trieste. Splendid coffee in Viennese secession style, embellished by the wonderful paintings of vito timmel, today also houses a library. still remains a true literary coffee even if -to full merit - it is thrown by us tourists. service in the norm.
