Family Style: Anthony’s Italian Coffee House
Take a step into Anthony’s Italian Coffee House and take a step back in time, as the Anastasio family owned café opened in 1938. The coffee house, nestled in the Italian Market, has an old world charm with an original tin roof, small marble tables, a playlist of classic Italian songs, and black and white images of the Anastasio family that line the wall above the mantle.
Beyond their freshly brewed house blends, choose from Anthony’s laundry list of lattes, tea, and other specialty drinks. And if you’re looking to truly experience their slogan, “taste the tradition” you could try their homemade Italian sweets (cannoli, pizzelle) as well as their array of homemade Panini sandwiches. If you want to take a bit of Anthony’s home to your kitchen, pick up a bag of their loose tea, signature coffee blends, and packaged traditional Italian sweets (Baci chocolates, Biscotti, etc) on your way out.
After your taste buds make a decision, take a seat at one of the eight mini marble tables and soak in the scenery. But if you’re in more of a “people-watching” mood, then snag a window seat (or an outdoor table) and watch the crowds stroll through the market .

Coffee that does the trick at reasonable prices. They also sell perfectly delectable caramel waffle cookies for dipping purposes.
