Veronero Caffè

Veronero sits in the Murat district a few streets back from Bari's old town, a design forward space with a bakery counter up front and single origin coffee poured at the bar rather than pulled from an anonymous house blend. Aeropress, French press and cold brew all sit on the menu next to standard espresso, a rare lineup in a city built around the fast standing espresso rather than filter coffee.

Breakfast here runs toward a northern European register: house made croissants, avocado toast and a full brunch menu rather than the standard cornetto and espresso at the counter. It draws a mixed crowd of locals and travelers who came looking specifically for a filter coffee in a city that mostly doesn't serve one.
