Slow - Specialty Coffee & Pastry Lab

4.5 (688)$ · Budget-friendly

Slow lives up to its name with a considered approach to both coffee and pastry, baking its own goods on site along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and offering a genuine coffee selection rather than a single house blend. Reviewers describe returning multiple times simply because there was too much on the menu to try in one visit, and short waits of around ten minutes are typical even at busy times. Its moderate-to-high trendy and hidden-gem scores suggest a spot that's become popular with in-the-know coffee enthusiasts without full mainstream recognition. It's a strong choice for a quality coffee and pastry break in the historic centre.

✨ Reasons to go

  • 1The pastries and bread are baked on site rather than sourced from an external supplier.
  • 2The coffee menu offers a rotating selection of beans rather than a single house blend, letting customers choose beyond a standard espresso.

💡 Good to know

  • 1No booking needed, but expect a short wait at peak times
  • 2ask about the coffee selection if you want to try something beyond a standard espresso
  • 3the pastries are made in-house and worth exploring beyond the obvious choices.

What people say

"Slow is simply wonderful. I love trying new places, but I returned here several times because there were so many things I wanted to try. The pastries are made to perfection, with crisp exteriors and beautifully light, fluffy interiors. Some items do sell out, but that is a small price to pay for freshly made products. The coffee is also expertly prepared and pairs perfectly with the food and pastries. Come early for the best selection and to avoid the wait. The team is wonderful as well. I’ll definitely be back soon."
