Cafés

Besides the excellent espresso, Palermo has some peculiar coffee-based alternatives of its own, like granita al caffè (frozen ice with coffee and whipped cream) or gran caffè (a cappuccino without milk). To complement your coffee, choose among plenty of delicious patisserie products: try the famous dessert cassata (a sponge cake moistened with fruit juices or liqueur and layered with ricotta cheese and candied fruit) or the Sicilian cannoli stuffed with ricotta cheese and pistachio.
