Fratelli Padovani Snc - Torrefazione Caffè Enoteca

fratelli padovani does one thing with real conviction: they roast their own coffee. that matters more than it sounds, because when a place controls the roast, they control the whole conversation, from green bean to your cup. prato doesn't get nearly enough credit as a food city, and via paolo dell'abbaco is the kind of street that locals actually use, not one built for tourists. the enoteca side of the operation signals something, too: these are people who think seriously about taste across categories, not just caffeine. regulars here keep coming back with a consistency that says more than any headline could. if you're passing through prato, or based there, this is worth a stop before the afternoon crowds settle in.
