18/05/2026I had late lunch at 2:30pm, very quick service. I had a secondo with a side - a very good omelette with delicious caponata & some good bread. I was seated outside, although next to a one way street still very nice.

02/04/2026We stumbled upon this lovely café tucked away from the busy main center, and it was exactly what we needed. The atmosphere is incredibly calm and relaxing—perfect if you want to escape the crowds for a while. The couple running the place (a very kind man and woman) provided excellent service. They were both so welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home immediately. You can really feel the personal touch they put into the business. The coffee was also excellent—clearly high quality and prepared with care. If you are looking for a quiet spot with friendly faces and a great brew, this place is definitely worth the short walk out of the center. A true local find!

14/01/2026Big selection of fresh sandwiches, brioches, also small regular food menu. Very good cappuccino avena. Various chocolate candies at the counter! Clients are mostly local, I feel I was too slow for the fast paced service:). Area with tables is upstairs. Really worthwhile place.

27/09/2025We visited Caffè Sant’Orsola around 8 a.m. on Friday, and the place was buzzing with locals, empty espresso cups stacking up on the counter. Despite the rush, the staff were professional, warm, and friendly. The coffee was excellent, the croissants delicious, and the prices very reasonable. A lively spot with a welcoming atmosphere, well worth a visit.

24/09/2025Really cosy and nice place! The coffee and the food are very good, and they have many panini (sandwiches) options :)

15/09/2025As a tourist I wouldn't recommend this place. Not very friendly staff and the grumpy owner was making fun of me right in front of me. The food was pretty good though. It's a pure for-Italian only place.

29/07/2025Very good pastries, polite service and decent coffee. Outside area, nice and quiet. Inside buzzing with locals getting their coffee on the counter .

20/06/2025The staff were very friendly, food was fresh and delicious, and the outdoor seating provided the perfect atmosphere for a cozy breakfast ! Missed the pistachio croissant as they were sold out so definitely have to come back for that ❤️.

18/01/2024The owner was so welcoming and nice. The environment is really friendly and full of locals which gives the true italian welcoming energy. It is a hidden local coffee shop with nice sandwiches and other cooked meals. The food was served warm and it was delicious. Definetely recommend this place to everybody.

05/12/2023Lovely and domestic atmosphere and food, but pretty crowded - we waited a lot. Various brunch and coffee options. The terrace is very small and unstable.

21/09/2023Really good start to my morning! It’s a nicely decorated espresso bar with seating area (upstairs and outside) located near Cordusio station. The moment I walked into the cafe the man (owner?) noticed me and said hello, you don’t get that niceness a lot in Milan. I got an espresso and a pistachio pastry to have in (€2.30). He made sure to bring them to my table and assured me that there’s no rush paying. It’s not as busy as other espresso bars I’ve been to that are located closer to the main roads but they do get waves of customers coming in and out. Definitely worth paying a visit :)

09/09/2023The prices were very good, the atmosphere was very pleasante and the staff was very friendly. Would reccomend for people lookng for a delicious and affordable breakfast option in Milan.

19/06/2023Very close to where I was staying and needed a little afternoon boost. I was shocked at how inexpensive it was for an espresso and croissant! Great quality, and the man at the front was very kind. There's also a clean, calm upstairs area.

19/05/2023Great coffee and friendly service, however at 4pm, no pastries left, that we saw on the photos and inspired us to come :-(

28/04/2026Esperienza estremamente deludente. Il servizio è stato freddo, distante e poco professionale. Il personale ha mostrato un atteggiamento poco accogliente, quasi infastidito dalla presenza dei clienti, il che ha reso l’intera esperienza sgradevole. L’attesa è stata ingiustificatamente lunga, senza alcuna attenzione o comunicazione. Anche la qualità del servizio non è all’altezza delle aspettative: manca completamente il senso di ospitalità che ci si aspetta da un locale di questo tipo. Non lo consiglierei e sicuramente non tornerò.

13/01/2026It was hard to communicate in English, but the coffee was delicious. 영어로 소통하기 힘들었지만, 커피는 맛있었어요. 로컬 사람들에게 최적화된 카페. 내부와 외부 테이블 가격이 다른 것도 참고하시면 좋아요.

23/07/2025Colazioncina veramente soft! Locale piccino ma veramente ben curato, pulito Abbiamo fatto colazione prendendo un cappuccino, un caffè e 2 brioches, 1 alla crema e cioccolato e l'altra integrale con miele. Tutto buonissimo caffe ottimo e cappuccino perfetto, crema liscia e lucida, il signore prima di ordinarlo mi ha persino chiesto se preferivo cannella o cacao (ho preso cacao), servizio rapidissimo e colui che ci ha servito è stato gentilissimo e disponibilissimo! Consigliatissimo!

21/07/2025Un piccolo angolo di paradiso nel cuore di Milano. L’ambiente è moderno, minimalista e super curato nei dettagli, con luce naturale che entra dalle grandi vetrate. Il caffè è di altissima qualità, tostato artigianalmente, e servito con grande attenzione. tutto delizioso. Ottimo posto per lavorare con il laptop o leggere un libro in tranquillità.

17/02/2025Caddenin kalabalığından uzak sessiz bir sokakta 2 katlı küçük bir işletme, yüksek puanı nedeniyle kahvaltı ve atıştırmalıklar için gitmiştik. Çalışanlar İngilizce bilmediği için çok iyi anlaşamadık, sipariş ettiğimiz latte ve espresso iyiydi, ancak kuruvasan ve sandviç beklentimizin altındaydı, bir daha tercih edebileceğim bir yer değil.
Clara
14/02/2025Nous voulions juste boire un café et un chocolat chaud après une journée bien pluvieuse et c’était parfait. Le chocolat chaud juste un peu trop sucré comparé aux autres que j’ai pu boire durant mon séjour mais sinon c’était parfait. Le rapport qualité prix était très bon.

27/11/2024Bar carino, personale abbastanza gentile. Siamo arrivati alle 12:00 e ci hanno servito un toast semplice alle 12: 35 aggiungerei che non c’era coda e quindi avevano da pensare solo ad un toast. Peccato perché il bar é in una bella zona. Il toast era freddo nonostante abbiano detto di averlo scaldato.
