Gentile Cafè Sorrento – Authentic Italian Coffee & Pastries in Piazza Angelina Lauro

Stunning location with a view of the park to watch the locals walk their dogs. It’s close to the train station but tucked away off the busy road. We had breakfast two mornings here because we enjoyed it so much the first time. The cappuccino is the best I had yet since visiting Rome and Sorrento (looks like they use the good old school machine). The croissant sandwiches are great but the apricot croissant (with their homemade apricot jam) is the best! The staff is friendly and helpful with making suggestions, thank you!

Absolutely loved this café! We tried the pan au chocolat in different flavors, the sfogliatella and the croissant with pistachio and honestly, I’ve never had anything more delicious, it was perfection! The cappuccino was hands down the best I’ve ever had, and the staff were so warm, friendly and welcoming that it instantly made us feel at home. We sat outside and the atmosphere was amazing - beautiful music, relaxed vibes and just the perfect setting. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my birthday. 1000% recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, great coffee and an even greater experience!

If you’re looking for a cafe where you can enjoy great coffee and excellent service, this is the place. The cappuccino is magic!!! It starts with a creamy foam, transitions into smooth milk, and then the rich coffee flavor kicks in. Yes! I’m already missing it as I write this review. The pastries are delightful. I could eat them every day. And the staff at the store? They’re truly the best of the best. 1000/10! We tried orange juice, ginseng coffee, and other sandwiches too and all of them were amazing. They made our trip to Sorrento unforgettable. If you don’t visit this place, you’re seriously missing out.

I was here with my mom and nephews and we loved it. my mom is difficult to satisfy, but you did. The croissants with cream we ordered were delicious and huge. We had decaf cappuccinos, the foam was like a cloud. We all enjoyed our experience here. Last but not least, the cafe looks very fancy and luxurious.

I was so hungry when I sat — if you can’t tell, I totally didn’t even think about taking a photo until I started chowing down. The ham + cheese croissant hit the spot! Paired with the fresh squeezed orange juice. So yum, so fresh, so delicious. If you’re in the area I’d absolutely recommend! The ladies + fellas that work here are very friendly as well. 5 outta 5 stars from me!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great experience! Gentile Café was one of the highlights of our time in Sorrento. We walked up with a group of nine people and no reservation, and were still greeted so kindly and seated right away at a beautiful outdoor table. The atmosphere was charming and relaxed, the service was wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered pastries, waffles, avocado toast, sandwiches, and a variety of coffee drinks — everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The chef, Lea, was incredible — her food was as beautiful as it was delicious, and you could truly taste the care she put into every dish. We had such a great experience from start to finish and would highly recommend Gentile Café to anyone visiting Sorrento!

Thank you very much to Anna, amazing is your service, good disposal, manners, attention and your suggestion of croissants with patisserie. I truly recommend this beautiful coffee shop for having delicious breakfast. It’s style and Italian concept make of this store an obligatory visit in Sorrento.

What a beautiful little cafe! We visited here twice whilst we were in Sorrento and loved it both times. We both enjoyed a pistachio croissant each and the pastry was so fresh and flakey. The cafe interior is beautiful and the staff are so friendly and welcoming! A lovely cafe to have a little breakfast before you enjoy a day of exploring!
