"Serious coffee heads gather in Torrefazione Cannaregio, a hip, laid-back café on the lovely northern Ormesini canal where many blends and single origins come from an ancient coffee roaster. The wall behind the counter is lined with glass-fronted bean containers with goods from Guatemala, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, and many other places. They’ll put beans in paper bags for you to take home, or they’ll brew something on the spot. At 90 cents for an excellent espresso, this may be Venice’s cheapest coffee, but it certainly doesn't taste like it." - Anne Hanley
