If you find yourself wandering the enchanting canals of Venice, your journey wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Torrefazione Cannaregio, an intimate coffee shop nestled on Fondamenta dei Ormesini. Known for its expertly brewed coffee and delightful pastries, this hidden gem has quickly become a local favorite for both residents and curious travelers.
Step inside this cozy café, and you'll be greeted by the warm aroma of freshly roasted coffee that fills the air, inviting you to explore their unique selection of beans from various regions.

The ambiance at Torrefazione Cannaregio enhances the experience, with a quaint, bustling atmosphere that’s ideal for enjoying a light breakfast or lounging with a book by the canal. As Rylan Verge expressed, "It's best to go early in the morning as it starts to fill up." Early risers will be treated to the serenity of the canal-side views while nibbling on flaky, mouth-watering croissants, generously filled with delectable pistachio cream that Ina Amyza fell head over heels for. Just remember, when they're gone, they're gone for the day!

In a city overflowing with tourist traps, Torrefazione Cannaregio stands out as a beacon of quality and authenticity. It’s not just about the coffee; it’s about the experience—sitting by the water, watching the world meander by, all while savoring a moment of bliss. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, it’s a delightful spot to unwind, though you may have to share the space with other coffee enthusiasts eager to enjoy their own slice of heaven.

You’ll leave with memories as rich and vibrant as the coffee itself. Don't miss out on what has quickly become a cornerstone of Venice's coffee culture!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We have been here twice and I have a hard time reading it because the food and coffee is good. The style of the place is decorated to be very cute and cozy, but unfortunately, both times we have been it seems like the customer race is a little pushy and rude before they ordered and just overall made the space a little uncomfortable. The reception was a little more welcoming. I think it would be a five star, but the feelings of this place is just off. Pricing of items varies based on if it’s takeaway, eating standing at a counter or sitting down to eat. This can be hard to tell so be aware if you care. So far the cappuccinos I have had here were good and they have the best cereali and wheat croissants I’ve ever had. I definitely recommend this place. I just wish that the vibes there were more friendly.
