If you have fallen in love with the Italian hot chocolate drink, Bicerin, you will not want to miss Bicerin Cafe (Caffè al Bicerin), a historical location in Turin that has been serving up the city's most famous drink since 1763.

The Bicerin, a traditional drink from Turin, is made with layers of hot chocolate, espresso, and cream, creating a rich and creamy mixture.

Whether you sit at the bar or at one of the small tables, you will be transported back in time to a more refined era of Italian cafe culture.

The space is small, but you may be able to find a seat on the pleasant terrace facing the Baroque Church of Our Lady of the Consolation (Basilica Della Consolata), designed by architect Guarino Guarini. Try to get there early as there is often a long queue to get inside the favored Bicerin Cafe.
