Scootercaffe


Once a Vespa repair shop, this shabby-chic cafe is an adorable jumble of mismatched furniture, vintage prints and of course a couple of in-situ scooters. The cafe roasts its own beans, which are brewed on an antique 1957 espresso machine. After dark, caffeine is swapped for cocktails.
