Bakeries & cafés in Venice

Bakeries and pastry shops make up 17 of the 20 places, and rather than bunching around San Marco they are spread across the lagoon: half the addresses are in Castello and Cannaregio, five are on the mainland in Mestre, and one is on Burano, where Panificio Pasticceria Garbo on Via San Mauro bakes traditional Venetian biscuits. In the old Ghetto, Panificio Giovanni Volpe sells kosher bread and pastries, including unleavened bread and sweet fennel biscuits, and closes on Sundays. Of the three cafés, Al Ponte Del Lovo in San Marco is a café with seating whose reviews centre on cannoli, with prices listed at €10–20 a head, while Wunder Bar on Via Torino in Mestre serves breakfast, brunch and tramezzini and has vegetarian options. Breakfast is listed at 13 places, and 15 of the 19 with known hours open by 7:30 AM on weekdays.
