Francesco Coffee Food & Shop Assisi — Restaurant in Assisi

If this is is same place I visited on April 2nd, the older lady working the stand mentioned they had only been open for 10 days.

The lady was very friendly, very helpful and for a tourist like me who spoke only English, it was very helpful to have a dialog I could understand since I clearly did not learn enough basic Italian to have a reasonable transactional dialogue.

The location was prime when visiting Assisi via tour bus. It was across the street from public restrooms. It was fairly priced and questions or concerns were addressed.

The lady was super friendly, gave us some Info about the area and helped us learn about a university in a near by town. She heard how we wanted to move there and gave me and my daughter a quick run down about the university for English speakers to help transition into Italian post secondary institutions.

There was no gelato at the time of our visit, but the space and the potential of it being sold was reserved. It was such a convenient location and it made attending the local sights via school tour more relaxing (at least for me). The students who sat with me also bought items to munch on and after 4 days or so, one child who was a picky eater FINALLY had something substantial to eat since we left Canada. This was the first place we could find the boy a hotdog.

It sounds very privledge or selfish to make that comment but travelling with children that are not my own and seeing them get weaker from lack of energy because of food issues: seeing the stall serve hot dogs was a blessing in our situation.

After we got access to a hot dog, he became more open to try other foods but travelling with younger children was a challenge when it came to meal time. This place had quick stop option that was familiar to them.

Again, the lady was friendly, patient, helpful, polite, courteous and she spoke Italian beautifully and quite charming with local Italians. She helped grow our interest in my daughter potentially moving and living her life in Italy and learning Italian language.

We went to this shop at the end of our trip but it was such a sweet goodbye leaving Assisi after grabbing some food and drink from this location.

There was soft drinks, coffee, beer and liquor, gelato fridge, and frozen treat cooler. Lots of snack items and sandwich, hot dog, burger etc. It was a very basic set up but it had tables and chairs outside and made the wait for the tour bus a little calmer with the hint of creature comforts for a tired Canadian...

This place was our saving grace on our trip to Assisi on June 8th! By 6:00 pm we were very hungry, however it is Italian tradition that dinner is not available until 7pm so we were about to settle for just some snacks until we found Francesco Coffee Shop! We were greeted by none other than its pleasant owner who offered such a genuine smile and passion for his job that no matter what kind of food was available we silently agreed to eat there! There are a couple of seating spots outside on a beautiful setting. It turned out that there was lasagna and pasta available and they were delicious and reasonably priced. We were so thankful that we added savory gelato to our orders. If we visit Assisi again we will not hesitate to go to...

Lack of empathy... We ordered a "tramezzino cheese and ham" and it came with a nasty mayonnaise taste. We asked the owner if he can heat it and he day that it contains mayonnaise. We were very surprised and the owner said that "all tramezzini contain mayonnaise" ... He showed lack of empathy and he pretended to be right and made us feel as foolish... This is unacceptable specially in a city with thousands of pilgrims and tourists everyday... Prices are above the average for a...
