Very unassuming from the outside, but inside it's a lovely traditional Italian cafe. Excellent coffee and fantastic panini's. Would definitely recommend this cafe over all the others in the area. A proper hidden gem.

I just got to Milan and wanted to get a coffee and a croissant - this place is fantastic. Croissant was super fresh. I went here super early right when it opened but this place is great if you arrive, are maybe a bit jet lagged and want to grab a coffee and croissant.

€1 for an expresso, just grab a coffee after lunch. And enjoy the sense of Milan. Coffee is good, and you can stand next to the bar table to finish your coffee before you go. No idea on the food as haven’t tried it.

1.60€ Cappuccino. Incredible, Friendly owner. Best Cappuccino and Macchiato that we had in Milano. sitting outside on the plastic chairs absorbing the atmosphere. We ordered a second round, they were that good. Lots of foam and not just a bunch of hot milk. Nice seating inside and a good place for lunch also.

Best Café in the city center! An oldschool Italian Café frequented by locals. Order + drink your espresso at the counter & go about your day! Love it
