This place is great. Although this shop is known for the coffee, it also carries a good variety of spices and food items. The space itself is very small so be sure to ask one of the nice people at the counter to help you out. I usually buy dark chocolate here and random ethnic food that I know I went find anywhere else. Clean and cozy, El Negrito will be your best bet for random food items while guaranteeing good quality.

Negozio veramente ben fornito (il caffè è solo una minima parte di quello che viene venduto): dal the alle spezie, tutto è importato e di qualità. Ottimo per trovare ingredienti/cibo/etc. non comuni o di difficile reperibilità!

Tanti prodotti di qualità negozio storico a Messina, ottima torrefazione del caffè, buoni i prodotti locali proposti, dal miele alle mandorle e al pane biologico che viene fatto in un panificio a Milazzo, molto gentile il personale che lavora, buona l'offerta delle tisane, delle spezie come il pepe nero di grande qualità, la curcuma, lo zenzero e tutte le spezie che trovi nella cucina esotica

Senza ombra di dubbio merita cinque stelle. Personale gentile e simpatico, negozio super fornito con prodotti di qualità e al giusto prezzo. Oggi ho avuto modo di provare le loro capsule compatibili e posso dire che, a mio avviso, le altre marche non reggono il paragone, un caffè ottimo !

Giungono voci di una prossima chiusura dell’attività. Un vero dispiacere per chi ricorda da sempre questo negozio storico.
