About

The Merchant of Venice

One of the most beautiful additions to Leicester’s café culture scene, the Merchant of Venice is inspired by both the great Bard himself, and by authentic Italian flavours.

They believe that Leicester deserves to enjoy the aromatic, gourmet flavours of authentic Italian coffee, ice cream, pastries, salads and more.

173-175 

Nearly 500 years since the Venetians became the first to embrace café life, the Merchant of Venice has created a special space that's inspired by Shakespeare's classic tale.

It's for the cognoscenti… It's for everyone who appreciates that barista is an Italian word!

So prepare to step onto the stage of the city's most imaginative new coffee adventure.
