More than coffee. More than gelato. This is a legacy brewed on Erie Street. ☕️🇮🇹 Since 1981, Gennaro’s Cafe & Coffee Company has been part of the heart of Via Italia. Founded by Gennaro Palumbo, who brought his passion from Sicily to Windsor, the business began as a one-of-a-kind café, laundromat and lottery shop and quickly became a beloved neighbourhood gathering place. Today, Gennaro’s son, Enzo, continues the family legacy, honouring the values his father poured into every cup: authenticity, quality and community. From freshly roasted coffee and Italian espresso to house-made gelato, Gennaro’s remains a place where generations come together. ❤️ 📍 1271 Erie St. E. ☕️ @gennarocoffeeco
