Would get five stars but sometimes there are not enough seats and the line-up to order is long. Complimentary wifi, excellent coffee and delicious pastry-thingies. Nice staff, friendly clientele. What's not to like?

I love visiting Intelligentsia when I am in Venice. The coffee and croissants are the best. It is also a fun people watching scene

Haven't ordered anything yet because both times I have gone here, it's been too crowded. No seating. Maybe I should just grab a coffee to go. Looks nice inside and outdoor patio is ok. Nothing special. People rave about this place and I don't know why yet. Hopefully I will get to try something soon.

I'm sitting here drinking my gorgeous cup of coffee. Eating a homemade breakfast oatmeal cookie, using free internet and people watching. My regular stop when I'm in town. We usually take a couple of pounds of coffee home with us to carry us through to our next visit.

The coffee here is amazing. The beans are chosen & roasted, and the coffee is exquisite. Try it....totally worth a visit!
