Nestled in a charming historic wooden house, this bright café offers a cozy upstairs area with natural light and intimate nooks ideal for quiet moments. It features a notable selection of gluten-free and vegan options, complemented by a cute patio area perfect for warmer days.
My husband mentioned this coffee shop to me a few days ago, and he finally brought me here to try their coffee and spend some time writing and sketching. Everything was absolutely wonderful; the coffee and the gluten-free muffin were simply perfect! But the most delightful surprise was the thrift store on the 2nd floor. Just from a quick look, I could see that the selection was so varied, from blouses and dresses to light sweaters, corsets, and even vintage sewing patterns. But what truly made a difference for me and led me to buy something, was the range of sizes available, which is quite rare for these kinds of stores. Lisa, the curator, was an absolute sweetheart!! 🩷 She helped me try on my dress and explained a bit about how she curates her lovely collection. This place has absolutely won over a loyal customer who can't wait to return for more clothes and coffee! 🩷
¡Gracias, Lisa!

I've visited Caffe Cittadella multiple times, and it's become one of my favorite spots in the area. I've consistently enjoyed my experiences here.
On my latest visit, I tried the Spinach Feta Cheese Pastry, paired with a hot chocolate. I requested a caffeine-free and low-sugar drink, and the staff made it perfectly to my liking.
I highly recommend Espresso Bar & Bistro for its cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and accommodating staff.
