Need restaurant that serves breakfast items near La Spezia train station

We have an hour and a half before our train departs from La Spezia to Rome. We arrive at 6:44am on a Sunday at La Spezia. Can anyone recommend a decent place to get coffee/breakfast items near the train station?

Karon,

I don't know of any restaurants near the station, but as I recall there's a McDonald's inside or near La Spezia Centrale, so that may be an option. Their breakfast menu is a bit different than the North American restaurants, but they have some of the "old favourites".

There are three McDonalds in La Spezia including the one at the station.

Unfortunately that one only ever opens at 10 am.

There is another which has earlier hours:
La Spezia
V.le Italia 132/134
La Spezia
TEL: 0187 564716

which opens on Sundays, and every other day, at 7.

BUT, there is likely a bar nearby which would serve the traditional Italian breakfast of an espresso and a pastry. Italians aren't known for either big breakfasts or hot ones.

If you walk out of the main door of the station turn left and walk diagonal across the Piazza in front of the station and take the stairs down into the city I believe there is a Bar/Caffe right there. I seem to recall seeing it when i went looking for lunch items for my train ride. Nevertheless, depending on how much time you have, there are certainly shops within a couple of blocks of the station. Not sure what time they open however, so I am not really answering your question.
