Buster's

 There is still no Starbucks in Italy. Italy has a great cafe culture that they love and protect well. Plus they call American coffee dirty water. But a funny thing happened last week when a practical photo copy of Starbucks opened up in Torino's center called Buster's Coffee.
I went inside and was greeted by American sized venti drip coffee, large cozy chairs, and shockingly, to-go cups!!! I have been in 3 times now and each time I could not find a place to sit, it was that crowded.
So, maybe Italian's are giving American coffee a try...and might be liking it. I'll let you know, if I can ever find a seat.
Frozen coffee, aka, frappuccino.

Is this along the same street as the Luxemberg bookshop and how are the prices?

Hay BT! It is on theat same street. I got a to-go coffee. It was about a venti size and was 2.50. I was really good though.
Hope you are loving your new home!
