  6. 06Faro

    café55 Via PiaveWi‑FiWork 88

    Faro - Artigiani del caffè Specialty coffee shop

    As a courtesy to the owner, you might want to remove Faro from the list as they have a limited time in which you can sit down and work in their cafe and it always depends on how busy they are at the time. So while it is possible, it's not really a cafe that you can always expect to be able to open up your laptop and work for a few hours.
