Okay, bear with me on this: Segafredo is similar to Batman. Seriously. You see, in broad daylight, Bruce Wayne acts as a well-heeled industrialist but at night, this dark knight perches atop the Gotham skyscraper to kick some butts. Like Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Segafredo during the day is a quiet café that serves freshly-brewed coffee to patrons who enjoy a relaxing casual breakfast. But when darkness creeps in, this ‘spuntino’ bar – an Italian term for casual gathering place that serves coffee and small bites – morphs into a snazzy cocktail lounge, teeming with various types of martinis and high-end offerings. (Ed: that’s one too many a coffee for our writer.)
           
With 400 espresso bars in more than 50 countries, Segafredo is the only bar that controls the entire coffee production process, from cultivation to blending, roasting and serving them in the cup. So you can be sure of the consistency of quality in every cup of Segafredo coffee.

Upon entering the café, you will be buffeted by a familiar coffee aroma that fills your lung with a jolting caffeine kick. As you imbibe the first sip of Affogato (gelato floating in a pond of espresso) and nibble that carpet of coffee powder on Tiramisu, you will realise that Segafredo, does serve quality coffee.
