Carturesti Verona

Carturesti Verona is a bookshop and garden courtyard cafe at Strada Arthur Verona 13-15 in Sector 1 of Bucharest, Romania, in the Piata Romana and Amzei area north of Calea Victoriei. The shop occupies a historic townhouse with an interior courtyard, which is arranged with tables, plants and shade structures so that the cafe feels removed from the traffic nearby. The cuisine is an international cafe menu, so no Michelin or chef lineage applies; the venue is chosen for its calm setting and reliable coffee. Signature items include cappuccino and pastries, brunch plates such as eggs, toasts and salads, and lemonade on the courtyard terrace in warm months. The atmosphere is quiet and unhurried compared with the busier Carusel branch in the Old Town, and the noise level stays low except at weekend brunch. No dress code applies, and the clientele mixes students, remote workers, readers and visitors on a break from sightseeing. The beverage programme includes espresso drinks, teas, fresh lemonades and a short selection of wine and beer in the evening. Prices are moderate, with coffee around 15-25 RON and brunch dishes roughly 35-65 RON. Opening hours are about 9AM to 10PM daily. No reservations are needed for small parties, though groups at weekend brunch may have to wait for a courtyard table. The location, off the Piata Romana area and a short walk from Calea Victoriei, the Romanian Peasant Museum direction and Amzei Market, makes it a convenient mid-afternoon stop. The bookshop floors can be browsed before sitting down, and the courtyard is open mostly in spring and summer, with indoor seating used in colder months.
