Best Italian coffee in Pisa, near the Leaning Tower

Enjoy great cappuccino and coffee in Pisa in between Piazza dei Cavalieri and the famous leaning tower. Caffè dei Cavalieri is a Specialty Coffee Shop in the northern heart of Pisa. Besides great coffees they also offer an excellent selection for both sweet and savoury snacks – great for an italian breakfast in Pisa! On a sunny morning we decided to pick up our breakfast for take away at Caffe dei Cavalieri, and enjoy it in the best possible surroundings. No, not at Square of Miracles, Piazza dei Miracoli, where also the leaning tower is located – at the botanical garden!

Breakfast for take away and the best cappuccino and coffee in Pisa at Caffe dei Cavalieri Pisa

The specialty coffee shop and daytime-till-evening Café Caffè dei Cavalieri opens at 07:30 am every morning, on weekdays and the weekend. Perfect for early risers longing for coffee in Pisa, and closes at 9 pm on fridays and saturdays, perfect if you need a caffeine boost later during the day. For our Italian breakfast for take away in Pisa we stumbled into their store at around 9 am. Because the botanical garden opens at 08:30 already every day we didnt want to be there too early. Among their selection of snacks, we went for something typical. In another dedicated blogpost I wrote about Italian breakfast, if you are interested. One Cornetto with Crema and one Cornetto with marmalade, both have been the best Cornetti we have eaten on our Italian holiday.

Regarding this coffee in Pisa, you can usually choose between two sizes, regular and large. A regular espresso, a regular cappuccino, or a large one, a large chai latte and so much more. We went for a regular cappuccino and a regular americano. We did not pay more than 10 Euro for breakfast, way less actually, and left Caffè dei Cavalieri happily towards nearby Orto e Museo Botanico. Check out the below linked website and Instagram for more info on their offerings. You might also be interested in my Pisa Travel Guide.

Cafe in Pisa near the Train Station • Joy della Vita | Italy Travel Blog

[…] Looking for a cozy place to spend your time before departure of your train at Pisa Centrale Station? Check out this Cafe in Pisa, just a street corner away of the station. La Borsa is a Bar and Café in the heart of the city. They offer sweets and coffee during the day, and apperitivo and drinks in the evening. On my afternoon wait, almost an hour until the departure of the next train, I went for something sweet. Tiramisu is always a good decision, such as coffee! My authentic italian dessert in this Cafe in Pisa hasnt been the best Tiramisu I have ever eaten, but definitely not the worst (such as Tiramisu at Firenze SMN train Station..). Therefore, if you have quite some time to kill at the station, walk those few metres over to La Borsa and enjoy your wait as quality time at this Bar. Even just for a drink, sitting outside and enjoying Pisa street-life. In Pisa I can also recommend Caffe dei Cavalieri for fantastic coffees and cornetti. […]
