| - I feel really bad giving Sanremo a 3 star review because I really love the place but there are no 3.5 star options and I can't, in good conscience, give a 4 star rating.
Firstly, they have FANTASTIC service! The young ladies, and the more established ladies who lead them are all excellent and personable. I often think my daughter should go apply there for a job. Great staff.
The coffee is fantastic. My Americano was just great yesterday.
The sandwiches are not bad. Great bread, decent ingredients, usually too dry for my liking. I have had mouth watering sandwiches there in the past but can't seem to find them again.... they probably still exist there so that's on me more than on them.
The pastries, are honestly a solid 3.5 stars in my opinion. They aren't bad at all, and some are even good. Their eclairs are good and their canolis are better than that. Their brownies are very middle of the road, the kind that look way better than they taste, which is too bad because they look decadent and rich and amazing, but they don't have much chocolate flavour compared to the way they look. The doughnuts are not bad either but not amazing.
Overall, SOME of the pastries aren't as good as they look or as good as good as many other places, but the place has a charm, great bread and great staff. And great coffee.... and some pastries are good (like canolis).
So, despite my 3 star rating, I'd suggest you go try them out. And despite my 3 star rating, I'm actually a fan of Sanremo anyway. It often falls short of "wooooow, that's amazing!" but it's never "that's not good" either.
