Instead of having the same breakfast over and over again, why don’t you try a new and cool way to have it?
I am talking about enjoy your cappuccino and croissant while reading a book, sitted in a nice but tiny bar in Turin.
Located 5 minutes from Piazza Statuto, one of the main squares in the center of the city, the bar offers a brilliant alternative to the ordinary breakfast, giving the chance to have a personal library, where clients can easily take one book by leaving one.
The idea came from the clients themselves, who had so many books in the house and they didn’t use them anymore. Talking to each other and to the owner, they decided to have a small carner inside the place where to put a shelf with the volumes.
It can be seen from the windowshop and it is very innovative, especially in Italian bars. In fact, you can easily find the so-called bookcrossing service in some particular bars, and the reading service in some American chains, like Busters Coffee.
The “Caffetteria Lo Spuntino”, which is a regular Italian bar, creates something new and enjoyable for whoever wants to stop there to have a coffee, eat a sandwich or sip a glass of wine. Not to mention the croissants they have, which are so fresh and tender.
Via Cibrario, the street where the bar is situated, with all its shops and supermarkets, definitely needed something cool and new in order to be more catching eye, and finally it has is.
Next time you are in Turin, do not miss this bar and meet the owner, Serena: she is very nice and she will definitely treat you in the best way.
