"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food here is absolutely amazing, the staff is very friendly, and the music creates such a great vibe. I left feeling energized after my visit. A big plus is that they speak English, which made communication so easy—especially since it can be quite difficult in other places. Highly recommend"

"Great coffee, super friendly staff, and a tasty breakfast. I asked for an Amaretto Sour — even though it wasn’t on the menu, they made it without hesitation. Really appreciated the attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!"

"Honestly, I had one of the best croissant in Italy so far, right in this nicely setup cafe. Also, the cappuccino was as good as it gets elsewhere in Italy, to a high standard. The seating is smartly arranged and really provides you with the comfort that you desire when walking and shopping around. Also, if you chose to park your car in the adjacent garage “Jolly”, then this is the stop point to grab a coffee before you hit the road to the next destination of your journey. Thanks to the team for their nice welcoming and attention."

"I really enjoyed the fresh flavors and the modern ambiance. The salad was just what I needed! The bread could have been a bit better though. The coffee was excellent, as was the traditional pastry from the region. I'd definitely return if I'm in Bari again."

"When you are in Bari come to Semplice Cafe for aperitivo. You will not be disappointed in the quality of service or the food. The staff is fantastic, even if your Italian is not great. We came back multiple times and also saved this to our first place to return to on our next trip to Bari. Highly recommended and price is great for the value!"
