Majer San Stae

Majer began as a bakery on Piazzale Roma and has grown into a small network of shops across Venice, all fed by the same roastery tucked into the Ghetto in Cannaregio. This outpost on Salizada Carminati near the San Stae vaporetto stop is the one built specifically around coffee, stocking the full range of beans and grounds the roastery turns out daily alongside the house biscuits.

Green coffee comes from producing regions across Africa and Latin America and is roasted in small batches in Venice itself, offered as both blends and single origins for drinkers who want to taste one place rather than a house mix. The espresso and the staff's willingness to talk through what is in the hopper that week stand out, a level of attention that is genuinely rare in a city where most bars pour the same anonymous blend.
