Ciaro is a little Italian coffee shop by the canal, not far from Brindleyplace.
With just a few tables inside and a handful more outside, it’s a cozy spot worth visiting (off-topic: they recently opened a deli restaurant next door with excellent food).
The coffee machine is a Fracino, and the espresso, while not the strongest kind, is absolutely satisfying and rich in flavor.
If you prefer a very strong espresso, you might rate it 2.5, but if texture and richness are more important to you, it deserves a full 3.
