Well yes, someone has equipped themselves for this too. Although bars and restaurants are closed for almost two months and will be the last to reopen (and having to literally reinvent spaces and ways of welcoming the public), there is some reality that thought that the ritual most loved by Italians, that of coffee at the bar, or cappuccino and brioche, could not be completely replaced by the pur always good domestic coffee. The first home-delivered breakfast service started from Turin, but soon spread to Rome as well: the initiative is from Caffè Vergnano, which has invented a sort of traveling coffee shop, bringing the coffee home via an apecar. Delivery includes the following choices: the inevitable espressos but also cappuccinos, bicerin (in full Savoyard tradition) and brioche.
Orders are made easily on WhatsApp by 22pm of the previous day (rightly, coffee is drunk early in the morning…) and the prices are absolutely low: 1,50 in Turin, with delivery included, and even 80 cents in the capital, where, however, the service remains confined to the north-east for now. Deliveries start at 6.30 in the morning, and continue until 14.30: that's it link to find the participating bars. But it doesn't end there. Milan, the city of food and innovations, where is it? If it is true that the Lombard capital is still on its knees due to the coronavirus emergency, someone is getting organized there too. For example, the Pavé team, which has launched an e-commerce service to deliver cakes, sweets and croissants for breakfast.
The initiative is so popular that the site has already gone haywire. The delivery takes place with the cooperation of Urban Bike Messengers, bicycle couriers with whom Pavé already worked to distribute fresh products between the various points of sale. You order before 14 pm to receive breakfast the following morning, but you can also choose cakes, single portions, biscuits, spreadable creams, and even bread. The shipping cost is only 3 euros, and drops to 1,50 for expenses over 29 euros.
