Apricot cookies were so good we went back twice for a box! Croissant was nice and light for breakfast. A large cafe with multiple rooms to work or chat. Nice design + friendly waiters, would definitely check it out.

Very sweet bakery/cafe behind Siracusa Duomo. Love the interior and the labyrinth of different rooms inside. Very youthful vibe and atmosphere. The coffee and sweets I've tried were delicious. They have different staff for breakfast and other ones for lunch - which makes this place very versatile. No wonder some people use it for working place as the WiFi is very fast and with so many choices to snack.

Viola Bakery has the best croissants on the island—truly my favorite! I enjoyed one almost every single day while I was here this summer. My go-to breakfast quickly became a cornetto di crema (perfectly flaky with the most delicious cream filling), a cappuccino (they even make them with soy or almond milk), and a fresh spremuta (orange juice). Everything is always fresh and full of flavor, and the staff is kind and welcoming. Highly recommend starting your mornings here—you won’t be disappointed!

Hidden bakery and coffee place. Few tables outside but spacious inside. If you want to get away from the crowds this is a good spot. Internet is fast and reliable and the coffee is really good and comes in all sizes. The pastry was ok but I only got a croissant so can’t judge all the other good looking stuff.

They had a vegan cake/tarte! It was chocolate-hazelnut-orange, a bit like a tarte with nutella and a hint of orange - I enjoyed it. Matched well with an oat milk Cappuccino

Great coffe, delicious desserts The food and coffee are delicious. Visited multiple times and every time i was able to enjoy the coffie and deserts to the fullest. The staff is friendly but when sitting at the table it can happen they need just a bit longer than expected. The staff understands english (had only one small experience while asking something in English that we where ignored by one of the staff). The atmosphere is really nice and worth the stay even more when you include the great taste.

Happily surprised to see vegan bakery options! I tried 'crostata vegana con nocciole' with an oat cappuccino. I think it’s one of the few places with vegan bakery in Ortigia. So definitely recommend if you need a plant-based treat! Friendly staff
