In Italy, coffee isn’t just a drink—it’s a way of life!
From a quick espresso at the bar to a relaxed caffè latte, coffee culture in Italy is all about simplicity, quality, and social connection.
Italians often start their day with a cappuccino, but don’t ask for one after 11 a.m.—that’s considered a morning-only treat! The espresso is king of coffee here, usually enjoyed standing up at the bar for a quick energy boost.
Each region has its own coffee quirks, but one thing is clear: Italian coffee culture is unique and deeply rooted in tradition.
