“ Went here a total of four times during our stay in sorrento. Food and service were amazing and the place is so cute! Got a chocolate croissant and absolutely loved it!! Gelato there is also great as well as the coffee! Staff super nice! ”
“ Nice but noisy place for an Americano and pastry for breakfast. Staff was super friendly and quick. ”
“ I’m not sure what it’s called but I got the pastry that was flaky full of pastry cream and it was so good. There was a lot of pastry cream inside! My husband got the brioche filled with apricot jam and he was a little disappointed with how much it lacked inside (of the jam), as it was mainly just bread. What little amount of jam it had was tasty though. I definetly want to go back but we just wont get the brioche pastries. ”
“ Located just on the edge of the old city, opposite the hospital, Le Sirene is at a busy noisy intersection which (for us) was the perfect spot for a bracing espresso, flaky cherry custard sfogliatella, and people watching. Staff were lovely - recognising us by day two and tolerating my terrible Italian. We didn’t have a meal there, so can’t comment on that, but for us, it was the perfect pastry and espresso locale. ”
“ A fantastic cafe for espresso, cappuccino and pastries. It was a short walk from our hotel and we loved it. Sorrento coffee service is slightly different than in other cities we visited, in that you get a little chaser of water with your cafe. The staff was amazing, they recognized us on Day 2 as repeat customers. Seemed to be a healthy mix of tourists and locals. Id go back 2morrow of it wasn't 5,000 miles away! ”
“ Super friendly service and perfect cappuccino. So many options to choose from for Italian pastries and always served with a smile! Went here everyday on our trip to Sorrento and it was a lovely spot to start our days! ”
“ Man, this place is so cute! The pastries were perfect and they have donuts the size of my head. I can't believe how cheap it was, I went back three times in 3 days. Definitely check this out if you're here! ”
“ Food/Drinks- The food is amazing and the cakes are lovely. The coffee is good and you can get a variation of chilled drinks Service- The people behind the counter are helpful, kind and speak good English ???????? Atmosphere- The atmosphere inside the café and on the patio out front is amazing and there is nothing wrong with it. The only reason I have it 3 stars instead of 5 is because of the traffic noise. It is very loud. ”
