Caffè Al Bicerin
A small café founded in 1763 and the birthplace of Bicerin, Turin’s signature hot drink layered with coffee, chocolate and cream.
Al Bicerin stands opposite the Santuario della Consolata. The café has only a few marble tables, and its wood wall paneling and silverware preserve the look of the 18th century. Alexandre Dumas and Puccini were once regular customers. The signature Bicerin is made of hot chocolate, espresso and fresh cream layered in small glasses, and you drink it without stirring so the layers stay separate. A cup costs about €7 (check on site). The café is closed on Wednesdays. With few seats, you often have to queue. You can also buy chocolate to take home as a gift.
