The BEST italian paninis I have ever had! Purchased 4 sandwiches, and each were amazing. The bread is fresh, the meats are quality, the flavors are unbelievable. This place is a true GEM. Also the frozen espresso with the Nutella and hazelnut rim is an experience of its own. Found on tiktok, I can't believe I didn't know this place existed until now. We will for sure be back next weekend!

Stopped in for a quick coffee and was pleasantly surprised! The pistachio cappuccino was smooth and flavorful without being overly sweet, and the almond pastry was fresh and perfectly flaky. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Definitely a spot I’d visit again!

Amazing place! Saw this cafe on instagram and we had to stop since we were in the area. Unlike any cafe I’ve ever been to. Gourmet and high quality with the best customer service. Came twice in one day

The food here is AMAZING. So delicious and fresh. Ingredients taste brand new not refrigerated and left over. The bomboloni dough is the closest thing to ensidmaides that I have ever had anywhere other than Mallorca! This is my new Favorite place!

A must try! The La Primavera was delicious! I wish I was eating another one right now! Everything was so fresh and tasty. The bread was amazing on its own! It was also a large portion so you could definitely share it with someone else. Can't wait to go back and try something else. Top notch cafe, we need more places like this in the community.

Cozy and clean bakery cafe with amazing food! Staff are warm and welcoming. I ordered a few pastries to go and the Peach Maple Breakfast Sandwich. I highly recommend stopping in if you are passing through Middleboro!
