What User likes about Polentoni:
excellent eating, sandwiches are amazing. fresh, high quality ingredients at a reasonable price. the coffee is also really good. I usually command a latte and more often than I don't want to add sugar. but not here. the latte quality does not have to be stained here by additional sugar! if I had a word here to describe the coffee, it would be smoothing. it's about a delicious bite that you drop one and try this place... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Polentoni:
very happy we visited. funky cool caffe, that's what we used to and were looking for. cool hip-hop music that covered the atmosphere. we had the spade and hamhock breakfast dishes and they were delicious. coffee was on the place! can not work without a good coffee so we were very satisfied. we'll come back if we can before we go.
