I think Americans a lot of times cannot be trusted to rate pastry shops because they simply don’t know what a good croissant is. But THIS is a good croissant. This shop definitely deserves it’s good ratings. The staff is polite and work fast. The prices are very reasonable, fresh OJ is expensive but coffee is cheap (less than two euro for a soy latte!!). And wow, the croissants, the specialty pastry of this shop, are fantastic. They are not soft, like many American croissants, but instead have a strong structure, crunchy flaky exterior, and buttery inside. And they do not skimp on the fillings. The interior is absolutely EXPLODING with delicious creamy filling. The pistachio filling is my favorite, very nutty, smooth, decadent, not something I’ve ever seen in America. They also have amazing focaccia breakfast pizza-type dishes and a very hearty fruit and yogurt bowl with granola. The staff making the coffee knows their stuff, I had a couple different coffees, and I recommend them all.

If you are in Venice don’t mess around with other pastry shops and just come here!
