At first glance, this family-run café may seem like a regular place to get gelato and crepes, but step inside to discover the quirks that make this a local gem. Meaning “fire and ice,” Eldur & Is is run by a bubbly barista, a local artist whose surreal paintings are displayed in a cozy nook. The café features a piano, Baroque furniture and hanging mosaic lamps. Crepes are made with gluten-friendly spelt and creatively plated. There’s also a long list of fresh fruit and vegetable juices, and the gelato comes in a colorful variety of flavors.
