Begin your morning at Bar Pasticceria Ballarin, a small Venetian pasticceria with a marble counter and a window full of pastries. Order a pistachio croissant or a little cake and eat it where the locals do.
Full description
Bar Pasticceria Ballarin is a compact bakery-café built around a counter where Venetians and travellers stop for coffee and something sweet. The display of pastries and small cakes is the main draw, and reviewers single out the pistachio croissant and the little cakes as highlights.
Coffee gets more mixed comments, with one visitor finding the cappuccino merely okay, while staff are described as friendly. Prices are budget-friendly and a stop usually takes around half an hour, which suits a quick solo breakfast before a day of walking.

Looking at the shop I was immediately drawn by the beautifully displayed pastries. I was delighted to eat the crispy, fresh desserts and would have eaten even more ! I did not want to share. This is my new favorite pastry place in Venice!
