As you may already know, Celebrity Cruises is known for its luxurious amenities and top-notch service. And if you’re someone who loves coffee (who doesn’t, right?), then you are going to adore Café al Bacio.
The Coffee
At Café al Bacio, you are in for a treat with an extensive selection of premium coffee blends, carefully curated by skilled baristas. Whether you crave a velvety cappuccino, a bold espresso, or a creamy latte art masterpiece, every cup is crafted with precision and passion.
I’m not one to gush over coffee, but this place is something special. From the moment you step up to the counter, you are greeted by the aroma of freshly brewed espresso and the hiss of steaming milk. The cozy atmosphere makes you feel like you have stumbled upon a hidden gem, even though it is right in the heart of the ship.
Quick Fact: The name “Café al Bacio” actually translates to “coffee as good as a kiss” in Italian, which is a nod to the fact that the coffee served here is top-quality.
The Menu
The menu may have some items that will surprise you. Check it out:
The Ambiance
The café’s ambiance exudes sophistication and charm. Its chic design, adorned with comfortable seating and warm lighting, invites you to sink into a cozy chair and savor your favorite beverage. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxation and refined elegance, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely afternoon or a quick pick-me-up. With comfortable seating and plenty of natural light, it is the perfect spot to relax with a book, catch up with friends, or just people-watch.
Pro Tip: The seats next to the windows go fast, so get there early if you want the ocean view.
Other Drinks
Of course, you can order your standard latte, cappuccino, or cup of hot tea, which are free with a classic beverage package, but they also have a selection of specialty drinks, which are complimentary with a premium beverage package.
Café al Bacio also offers spiked coffees (Irish coffee, anyone?), so be sure to check out their menu for those. These are covered with a premium beverage package up to the per-glass amount.
For tea enthusiasts, the café also offers a delightful range of exotic teas, catering to diverse palates.
The Food
If you are in the mood for a snack, Café al Bacio has a decadent selection of complimentary pastries and desserts that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. From danishes to muffins, they’ll have something to tempt you. On some ships, they also have a gelateria, but I haven’t had the chance to experience that yet. Soon, I hope!
Pro Tip: The pastries are totally free, no need to purchase anything. Such a deal!
The Service
The baristas are quick and efficient, always eager to get your order perfect. A waitress circulates through the seating area, happy to get you a refill or another pastry.
Pro Tip: If you are ordering to-go, place your order at the counter. If you are planning on enjoying your coffee there in the café, take a seat and the waitress will come to you.
