Because Italian peoples love them some Hillcrest, the 142yr-old Cafe Barbera is following in the footsteps of Caffe Vergnano and Stile Italiano, and choosing the lively neighborhood for their first US location. They'll be slinging their specialty menu of 18 espresso drinks ranging from the complex Roma with cinnamon syrup, chocolate sauce & chilled foamed milk, to the simple espresso & cold milk Cappuccino Freddo, which you'll love so much it will break your heart.
