Since it 's right across from the Rhaetian Railway station in Tirano, we popped in. The place was tidy and clean. Since it was already 4:30 PM, they didn 't have many items left obviously). We opted for two cappuccinos, a brioche with cream, and a slice of strudel. The staff was very friendly. The cappuccinos were quite good perhaps not as creamy as they should be, but that might be due to the milk used); the brioche with cream: good filling, a bit too bready ; the slice of strudel: very good. The prices seemed fairly reasonable; the strudel was perhaps a bit expensive €3.50). However, for being in the center of Tirano and just a stone 's throw from Switzerland, it 's fair enough.

I didn't have much time before my flight, so I asked if takeout was available and they said yes. I bought a salad, panini, and toast. It was a bit pricey, but since I'd spent the previous two days in Zurich and St. Moritz, it didn't bother me. The panini and toast are freshly made to order. I added my own dressing to the salad and took it home. They even provided napkins and forks. Thank you for the meal.

Hugo is €7 for an apple, a Spritz is €6, and it doesn't taste as good as the Bürgerbier, and you can't even tell that it contains alcohol. The food...okay.

We ordered toast and a sandwich to take to the train, and they were served hot and prompt so we arrived on time. The latte macchiato was delicious, and not to mention the apple strudel, exquisite, even more so in this alpine setting. I also highlight the attentive staff, especially the waiter, who served us with kindness and promptness and allowed us to charge our cell phones. Highly recommended.
