Secret Clockwork

Caffè Mulassano

TURIN, ITALY

This tiny coffee shop is big on personality. Wood paneling, mirrored walls and brass accents deliver old-world elegance and create a welcoming space for enjoying a drink along with a pastry or two. Notice the one-handed clock on the wall. It’s not broken. Instead, it’s activated at the press of a secret button to determine who in your party pays the bill. Before you leave, be sure to have a cup of bicerin — a traditional Turin drink of layered espresso, chocolate and milk.
