One of the most beloved venues on a Celebrity Cruise ship is Café El Bacio. Inspired by the cafe culture of Europe, Café El Bacio provides a social setting where guests can meet up, relax, and enjoy a delicious coffee drink to start the day. There is a rotating menu of pastries each and every day- the perfect accompaniment to enjoy with a morning latte or afternoon espresso.
In addition to coffee-based drinks, there is an extensive tea menu, and with the complimenting cakes and pastries, Café El Bacio is the place onboard to have your daily afternoon tea. Just next to the coffee counter you will also find a Gelateria that is open daily in the afternoons. Guests can enjoy a variety of flavors from chocolate to pistachio, as well as gelato cookie sandwiches.
Coffee-Based Drink Options
The coffee-based drink options are endless. For more traditional taste, Cafe El Bacio has espresso, macchiato, and americano offerings. Unique menu items include:
- Espresso Caraibico, with pineapple and coconut syrup & fresh whipped cream
- Espresso ai Frutti di Bosco, with blackcurrant jam, fresh whipped cream & fresh wild berries
- Affogato Espresso with chocolate syrup, served over one scoop of gelato
Guests can also order wine by the glass as well.
