"This cozy, wood-panelled café with antique furniture overlooking the Sanctuary of the Consolata is the place where to taste the original "bicerin", their world-renowned drink of hot chocolate, coffee and cream.
Right! The historic Turinese drink was invented in this establishment, which has been named after it ever since and jealously guards the original recipe, which is handed down from generation to generation.
The secret to savouring the true bicerin is to avoid mixing it, thereby allowing the various ingredients to come together directly on the palate, with their different densities, temperatures and tastes.
In addition you can also try their traditional dark hot chocolate slow-cooked in special copper pots. "

"First opened in 1763! Ever since the second generation it’s been entirely female managed and owned.

They are the inventors of the famous Bicerin- a hot drink with a layer of espresso, hot chocolate and heavy cream 😋
Can’t miss one on your trip!
If you have a real sweet tooth I recommend getting the full breakfast tasting with cookies and cakes. But it can be quite filling!"

"Established here in Turin in 1763, this iconic cafe is today named for the bicerin, a hot drink of espresso mixed with hot chocolate and cream. Try the Marenda Regale Bicerin, a 19th-century high "tea" featuring the bicerin, or opt for other specialty drinks, teas, and aperitifs.
In addition to an array cakes and pastries, they also offer a savory assortment of tremezzini, little triangular sandwiches, and panini."
