Una delle migliori caffetterie della città e probabilmente la migliore in assoluto del Ponente Genovese. Qualità assoluta, cura estrema nella preparazione. Prezzi sopra la media ma qui è come mangiare in un ristorante al prezzo di una caffettiera. La qualità si paga ed è giusto così! Provare per credere!

Abito di fronte a Mantero e vado spesso a regalarmi una coccola. Il reparto brioches è eccelso, d'altronde Mantero nasce come pasticceria (che è a fianco). Qualcuno scrive che c'è caos. Direi normale in certi orari, visto che è una caffetteria di livello dove si sta in piedi al bancone. Non abbiate timore, il ricambio è assai rapido e non farete coda. Le ragazze dietro al bancone sono davvero straordinarie a gestire tutti gli ordini e al contempo pulire e preparare bevande. Prezzi alti? Ebbene sì. Inutile negare. La qualità e varietà delle "brioches" si paga. I prezzi sono esposti. Comunque se volete godere di un caffè o cappuccio più brioche vuota\crema\chantilly\marmellata etc. il costo sarà assolutamente nella norma. Va da sé, certe particolari brioches alla frutta o al cioccolato etc costano anche 3 o 4 euro cadauna. Ogni tanto si può fare. Ringrazio la titolare per aver deciso di aprire un posto simile qui in via Cantore. A occhio, il coraggio ha pagato. PS A chi ha scritto che "nemmeno un bicchiere d'acqua" dico che bastava chiedere. A me viene servito sempre e gratis.
