Cafe Intelligentsia
What the experts agree on
Single-origin coffee hotspot where Venice's creative crowd gathers on a stunning tiled patio. Expect long lines and pricey brews, but the meticulously roasted beans justify the wait.
“The Pasadena outlet doubles as sort of a hypercaffeinated café, a place where you can accompany a slowly dripped Kenyan with cured-meat plates, including Fra Mani salametti.”
