Special concept: worth seeing for what it is
Palermo · Centro Storico, Italy
Why it’s on the route
The Stagnitta family has blended coffee in Palermo since 1928, and a massive brass 20 kg roaster stands behind the bar. The shop sells a wide range of beans, including Hawaii, Nicaragua and a Colombian rum co-ferment. The interior has dark wood shelves, vintage sweets and 19th-century beer-making equipment.
