Central location, between the Wandelhalle and the Via Roma, overlooking the flowers. Coffee was very nice. They also have fresh juices.

Thank you so much! My elderly mother needed a toilet and was refused at the cafe next door. The staff at darling gladly helped her. You have my infinite respect. Thank you so much.

We enjoyed a nice affogato and the scenery. Despite the beginning rain and the resulting troubles for the service, they helped us changing to a dry spot with ease and great flexibility of the tongue... Next time in Meran, definitely a must!

Brilliant place to hang out anytime... Yesterday we watched some silver birch willows being planted... Great to watch!

Breakfast box super worth it, you can add filling to your croissant. Cappuchai really good as well :)

Luca & Co do a great job! Cosy anmosphere and nice cocktails. You also find the original Spritz with 'Select'!

Suprisingly good cappuccino / latte. Could even say the closest thing to specialty coffee in the area.
