During the 17th century, Venetian merchants took the curious powder with them from Istanbul and brought it back to the city, with much excitement. Unsure what to make of the strange concoction, it was at first sold as a medicinal elixir, used to cure everything from &#8220;head maladies&#8221; to smallpox.<\/p>\r\n<p>Soon however, it was marketed as an &#8220;exotic&#8221; new beverage and the merchants began selling it exclusively to wealthy citizens \u2013 charging a scorching mark-up while they were at it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Coffee, initially prized by the upper class, faced suspicion for its stimulating effects. The Venetian clergy condemned it, but when Pope Clement VIII tasted and liked it, he declared, \u201cwe should cheat the devil by baptizing it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Whether true or exaggerated, this legitimized coffee for Catholics globally, leading to its rapid spread in Italy and Europe. It soon became a popular breakfast drink, replacing alcohol and contributing to the birth of the modern workplace fuel.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_22280\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22280\" class=\"wp-image-22280 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/breakfast-florence.jpg\" alt=\"Italian breakfast cornetti and coffee\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/breakfast-florence.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/breakfast-florence-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cornetti and cappuccino are what&#8217;s for breakfast in Venice.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Venices_Coffee_Scene\"><\/span><b>Venice\u2019s Coffee Scene<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>It\u2019s only fitting that the first coffeehouse in Italy (and Europe) opened in Venice. <a href=\"https:\/\/caffeflorian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caff\u00e8 Florian<\/a>, was founded by Floriano Francesconi in 1720 and marked the beginning of a new era.

Most Italians drink coffee quickly and standing at the counter, often stopping in for just a minute or two. Cappuccino and other milk-based drinks are traditionally only consumed in the morning, usually with breakfast. After about 11 am, locals switch to espresso, macchiato, or black coffee. Ordering a cappuccino in the afternoon won\u2019t offend anyone, but it will definitely mark you as a visitor!<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_coffee_cost_in_Venice\"><\/span>How much does coffee cost in Venice?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>At a local bar, a classic espresso usually costs around \u20ac1.50 when enjoyed standing at the counter, which is the Italian way. Prices increase if you choose to sit down, especially in busy tourist areas like St. Mark\u2019s Square, where table service, location, and live music can push prices up considerably more. To keep costs low and enjoy an authentic experience, order your coffee at the bar and drink it standing like the locals.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Venice_cafes_accept_credit_cards_or_should_I_carry_cash\"><\/span>Do Venice caf\u00e9s accept credit cards, or should I carry cash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Many caf\u00e9s in Venice accept credit and debit cards, but smaller neighborhood bars often prefer cash, especially for small purchases like a single espresso. Carrying a few euros in coins or small bills is helpful for quick coffee stops, food counters, and bakeries. Cash also speeds things up when bars are busy, which is often the case during peak hours.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_order_coffee_in_Italian\"><\/span>How do I order coffee in Italian?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Ordering coffee in Italy is refreshingly simple. If you want a regular espresso, just say \u201cUn caff\u00e8, per favore.\u201d A cappuccino is \u201cUn cappuccino, per favore,\u201d and a latte (milk) coffee is \u201cUn caff\u00e8 latte.\u201d If you prefer a slightly softer espresso, ask for \u201cun caff\u00e8 lungo,\u201d or for a stronger one, \u201cun caff\u00e8 ristretto.\u201d At busy bars, it\u2019s normal to order, pay, and drink quickly, so keeping your request short and clear will help you blend right in like a local.<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_22766\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22766\" class=\"wp-image-22766 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Devour_RomeIMG_9006res.jpg\" alt=\"A coffee shop employee pouring milk into small cup out of metal container.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Devour_RomeIMG_9006res.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Devour_RomeIMG_9006res-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Italians know how to make a good coffee!<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Fuelled up on fantastic coffee?\u00a0Now let Venice work its magic. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Join one of our expertly guided <a href=\"https:\/\/walksofitaly.com\/venice-tours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>tours of Venice<\/b><\/a> to explore the city\u2019s must-see highlights, secret corners, and local favorites \u2014 all without the stress of planning.
