This is the only specialty coffee shop in Lecce, and it’s truly worth a visit! The coffee is amazing, I especially recommend the cold brew and the flat white with ice. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff are super friendly, and even the background music adds to the vibe. As for desserts, I loved the matcha cake and the carrot cake. They’re sweet enough to enjoy but not overwhelming, so you can really taste the ingredients and not just the sugar. If you have the chance, stop by for a drink and a snack. you’ll definitely want to come back:)

What a nice discovery. Fusion food. Delicious. So much flavor. All local and fresh ingredients. A must visit if you have been eating nothing but pastas and puglian food for a few days. Very friendly service and great location. The onion tart. The tomato salad and so much more, everything so delicious

We had a wonderful lunch! Tuna with caramelized onions and a refreshing peach and tomato salad. A warm and welcoming staff that helped us pick out the perfect white wine to go with it. Such a great experience, relaxing, charming on a quiet side street. Finished with a matcha coffee and cafe leccese.

We visited La Filiera Caffè for a brunch-style breakfast and were truly impressed. Tucked away in the heart of the historic center, the walk there is a delight in itself through charming alleys lined with beautiful old houses. Once you arrive, it feels like stepping back in time: the atmosphere is serene and welcoming. The staff are incredibly kind, fluent in English, and took the time to explain their concept and guide us through the menu. Everything is made with local, high-quality ingredients. The pastries - especially the pain au chocolat - were crisp, sweet, and perfectly baked. The savory options were equally refined, ideal for those seeking more of an international breakfast experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality coffee, delicious food, and a relaxing, unique spot in Lecce’s historic center.

We found this place randomly and tried their breakfast. We loved it so much that we decided to go back the same day for their aperitivo and wine selection and it definitely hit the spot ! This cafe/bar is unique in Lecce (in Puglia as well). It’s very different from what you can find around and it changes from pastas and pucce ! they only use local products and the menu changes everyday so that’s a plus ! The staff is so adorable, acting and passionate about their concept ! Mention spéciale à Gabriel qui nous a vraiment bien renseignées et avec qui on a adoré échanger ! Definitely a hotspot to be !

Absolutely beautiful spot. We went for wine and tapas, highly recommend. Food was prepared with love, atmosphere was stunning, & the service was great. Awesome spot for natural & funky wines. He let my husband try 6 different wines and pick his favourite, I am 6 months pregnant and he served me a beautiful peach juice.
