I love this chain of torterias in Turin. It was the last one I hadn't visited before. And I was curious how it was. Let's start with pros. 1) The bounty cake I took was amazing. 2) The tea was good. It was samurai Japanese green tea with cinnamon. 3) The ambience is amazing, an ancient well-maintained space (you can see in the pix) Cons in comparison with other places of the same chain of torterias: 1) they didn't have table service, you have to pay immediately after the order and carry everything to the table. It's fine because it was the same in another place in the downtown. But they had a crowd there. And here there were two people besides me. 2) they didn't have my favorite langarola cake 3) no tea menu (they have around 40 types of tea) and the girl just read several green teas contents speaking as fast as she could not withstanding the fact that I visibly was not very fluent in Italian. 4) the service. The girl was not sorry for all the inconveniences. she told something about summer, produced a lot of noise while washing up (much louder than the music) and she met entering people with the phrase "we are closing in 50 minutes" (they immediately went away after such greetings) 5) and the worst thing was a lot of plastic and paper. They gave me the tea in the paper cup (not in the normal teapot) and it was in a tea bag, it became cold in a minute, paper plate, plastic fork, no knife at all (imagine me eating short crust pastry without a knife with a plastic fork). Besides it didn't cost 3 euro, it was 9 euro for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. Overall experience is very bad. I can cook everything at home but I come to such places to improve my mood, to relax, otherwise I'd go to the nearest bar for the noise and the rest, and I'll pay 2 euro. Never again. Don't recommend, there are much better places of...
Read moreCiao, io sono @lovefood18.0 (potete trovare la mia pagina su instagram) e oltre a pubblicare piatti creati da me, ogni tanto amo occupare il mio tempo libero andando a stuzzicare un po' in giro. Questa volta è toccato alla Torteria Berlicabarbis!
Se sei a fare 2 passi🚶🏽♀️ per Torino, la torteria B. è una buona alternativa per un thé/caffè break o per una colazione più tranquilla.
-Location: il locale è molto carino! Confortevole, "caldo", semplice, ma allo stesso tempo particolare e, nella monotonia degli altri locali, inusuale (con queste sedie a dondolo affacciate alla vetrata, pareti in pietra vecchia...). Peccato che sia un po' piccolino (mi riferisco a quello di via Cernaia, perché ci sono 3 punti differenti), ma è sicuramente facile da trovare, perché pieno centro. -Servizio: purtroppo lo percepito un po' freddino....capisco che magari è per via del periodo in cui siamo o che magari fosse una giornata no, ma un sorriso in più non farebbe male. Cosa che però ho apprezzato è che davanti a un errore commesso (avevano sbagliato il dolce scelto) sono state prontissime nel risolverlo e sono state anche carine nel consigliarmi un'ottimo thé, davanti alla mia opzione "carta bianca", che è risultata soddisfatta alla fine. -Menù: il menù è molto vario (sia rispetto al reparto infusi/thé, sia rispetto al reparto dolci) e ben riuscito. Alcuni possono essere migliorati in alcuni dettagli...ma sono già sulla buona strada. -Conto: buono il rapporto qualità-prezzo...soprattutto rispetto ai dolci. ... Quindi, sulla base di queste parole, lo consiglio....ma devo dire che, sulla base di come mi era stato presentato e di ciò che mi avevano detto, sono rimasta un...
Read moreThe cakes are delicious, and the cappuccino was also good, but the prices are a bit high. You have to pick up your order yourself, and unfortunately, the tables weren’t very clean. We were a group of four and had to arrange the chairs ourselves just to sit together.
Although the café officially closes at 19:30, the staff started clearing everything—including sugar and ashtrays—around 18:45, which made us feel unwelcome and pressured to leave early. I visited this place twice and had a similar...
