I'm blaming/crediting Dear Miss Fletcher for this photograph. She told me that I must see the view from the windows at Pasticceria Liquoreria Marescotti di Cavo.

This warm and welcoming cafe has become my favourite place to stop for a breakfast coffee, here in Genova.
Caffè degli Specchi, or the Cafe of Mirrors, is like so many of the cafes here in the city, a hub of activity. The Genovese call in on their way someplace else, select a pastry, and order their cappuccino or espresso. Some drink standing at the bar but I love to sit outside and watch the world pass me by. The sandwiches make a rather nice lunch too.
Jimmy, pictured below, is responsible for the best cofee I have had in a long time. He greets customers as they arrive and switches to English for those who, like me, are liguistically impaired. Their aperitivo, later in the day, is also rather special.
Located at Salita Pollaiuoli 43, it's not far from Palazzo Ducale and is a must-visit kind of cafe.
