Torrefazione Marchi
CAFE
Venetians can't catch a train without a pit stop at this aromatic shopfront lined
with brass-knobbed coffee bins. Since 1930, Venice's Marchi family has been im-
porting speciality beans, roasted fresh daily in a washtub-size roaster behind the
marble bar and ground to order. Even connoisseurs who disdain flavoured brews
must try
noxea
, espresso made with coffee beans roasted with hazelnuts. (

Il Santo Bevitore
PUB
San Marco has its glittering cathedral, but beer lovers prefer pilgrimages to this
shrine of the 'Holy Drinker' for 14 brews on tap, including Trappist ales and sea-
sonal stouts. The faithful receive canalside seating, footy matches on TV, free af-
ternoon internet access, a saintly
spritz
(
prosecco
and bitters cocktail) and the oc-
casional live concert (Irish groups and all-girl rock bands are perennial favour-
ites). (
