26/05/2026Zero star for the services 🌚 people can be happy even with a fake smile sometimes!!! I am not sure if it will take much more energy than rolling your eyes at a random costumer. Hehhe Food and drinks were nice Location and environment were great These gloomy faces behind the counter through off the vibe completely

26/05/2026They have struck the perfect balance of bringing third wave coffee to Milan while catering to the traditional dark roast profile that locals would expect.
William Jones
26/05/2026While on vacation we found this place and came back everyday. They have the best coffee I've ever had.
Vlad Ivancu
23/05/2026An absolute gem for coffee nerds in Milan. We stopped by for a Colombian V60 and it was incredible. The cup was super clean with beautiful floral notes, especially rose, which came through perfectly. You can tell they really care about both the coffee and the brewing process. The staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and happy to talk about the beans and preparation without feeling pretentious at all. The whole place has the perfect specialty coffee atmosphere: calm, modern, and very detail oriented. One detail I absolutely loved was finding James Hoffmann’s World Atlas of Coffee there. That instantly told me this place truly respects specialty coffee culture and pays attention to the details that coffee enthusiasts appreciate. The location is also amazing, right in the middle of Brera with a great Milan vibe around it. Sitting there with a filter coffee after walking through the city felt perfect. Easy 10/10 experience for anyone into specialty coffee. Would absolutely come back.

Giorgos Chouseridis
18/05/2026Excellent specialty coffee in Milan, decent pastries (we tried the coffe cube - fresh and delicious) and super friendly service. Charging 5€ for a flat white is criminal though!
Mike B
18/05/2026The first time we visited we loved the coffee but were surprised that it was served in a glass. The second time we visited we asked for a flat white in ceramica and it was perfect. We could have been back in Melbourne, We made this cafe part of our morning routine for the next four days. Quality was consistently high. Totally recommend.

Irina CIOBANU
09/05/2026Absolutely recomand the place! Specialty Coffee, salty and sweet snacks, cinammon rolls that are not drenched in sugar and the most AMAZING staff in the Cafezal chain in Milano! Will definitely come back - these guys know their coffee!
Lenka Havlenová
09/05/2026High quality filter coffee with several options to choose from.
Ubaldo Macchitella
08/05/2026Exceptional competence and friendly attitude. The guy stayed after closing hours to welcome late customers and to share his knowledge with me. Look for the barista with the long hairs!!

Nuray Saadanbekova
06/05/2026Service was bad, coffee tasted burned and bitter. One of the worst sandwiches.
Michael Haas
06/05/2026Very good flat white and Croissants. Not your typical Italien style of coffee, but rather light roasts.
Ricardo Demarchi
05/05/2026One of the best capuccinos I had in Milan
Andreea Verdes
28/04/2026The coffee here is amazing, had a very good cortado and V60. The food is also really good.
Peter K
25/04/2026It's a pretty good cafe serving artisan roasted beans. I don't think it's worth making a trip from far but if you are nearby, yes.

01/04/2026We visited this cafe for our morning coffee on Gemini's recommendation, and it didn't disappoint! It's an elegant spot with lovely outdoor seating, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. We ordered two large cappuccinos, a cinnamon roll, and a chocolate croissant, all for around €11—a fantastic value that really highlights the affordability of the place. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend stopping here in the morning before kicking off your city tour!

07/03/2026Perfect place for coffee lovers. Flat White was amazing as well as all pastries we had.
Toby Fender
05/03/2026By far, my favorite coffee shop in Milano! Excellent coffee! Also, try the bagels and other pastries, they are great too. Their take-away, portable drip coffee pouches were a lifesaver during my 2 months in Milan!
Noble Menchaca
03/03/2026This is the highest quality coffee shop we found in Milan. Very good espresso, with a great selection of coffee origins and processes to choose from. All the drinks were balanced and perfectly made. My one note is that the carrot cake was a bit dry. Other than that, we were all very satisfied with the business.
Amy Lane
03/03/2026Lovely oat milk flat white, and nice space to sit outside. Recommend!

22/02/2026I mean It’s good coffee but not like super duper special 😅if you’re nearby it’s good choice for coffee But if you are 30 minutes away like it was in my case then don’t bother going the distance 😅 This place is very small inside but with nice ambiance and lots if customers.
Jaroslav Pfauser
15/02/2026The staff seemed bored and “detached” to me, in the sense of order, pay, and leave. The indoor space is quite small, but you can sit outside in front of the entrance. The coffee is slightly above average. Given the reviews I had read, I was disappointed.
Margarita Postavnicheva
13/02/2026Very good coffee and bagels! Croissants are not super duper, but in general all pastries are very good ❤️

13/01/2026Hello everyone, this specialty coffee is always great, been there many times and the outcome is bingo, they have delicious pastries as well and the croissant is yummy, more like French one as croissants in Italy taste different. I hope you enjoy it.
Yana Mo
12/01/2026Very good specialty coffee. The flat white with oat milk is excellent. It would be great to have some breakfast options.

09/01/2026Service: 4/5 Normal - neither friendly nor unfriendly. Atmosphere: 4/5 Very small coffee shop with a communal table and 3 small tables. Most suited for a crowd of 2 if you ask me. Do takeaway if you have a choice. Food/Drink: 4/5 Ordered a cappuccino and carrot cake. Coffee seems to taste like they’re of single origin beans, smooth but not bodied. If I have a choice, I wished I could return the carrot cake. It was so dry that it crumbles and tasted very little of carrot. As you can imagine, I left it after a few bites. Good stop along the way, but I will not be back.
Kuznetsov Kirill
08/01/2026Geisha v60 for 10 euros should be something impressive, instead it was flat and almost tasteless, maybe the issue is roasting, maybe making, but it was the worst geisha I’ve ever had. Cappuccino my wife had was fine.
Renad
03/01/2026In my opinion, it considered one of the best few coffee shops in Milan

burhan özdemir
15/06/2026sabah kahvesi ve kahvaltı için geldik. servis mükemmel. yerel halkın da tercih ettiği bir yer bu arada. fiyat normal, performans yüksek. kahvelere diyecek yok tam tadında ve milanoda en hızlı kahve servisini yapıyorlar diyebilirim. double shot cappuccino favorim oldu. yiyecekler için tek bir yorum yapabiliyorum; iki tur yedik. içeride oturma yerleri var, dışarıda da var. dışarıda güzel havada oturmak çok iyi geldi. tekrar gelirsem kahve ve kahvaltı için burada olacağımız kesin.

28/04/2026المكان: مكان جميل جدًا، التفاصيل فيه مميزة وتعكس اهتمام عالي بالجودة والتجربة. ملاحظتي: كنت ناوي أطلب حلى، لكن للأسف أغلب المنتجات كانت مخلصة. واضح إن المكان عليه إقبال كبير خاصة في الفترة الصباحية، وأنا جيت متأخر حوالي الساعة 5 العصر، فكان أغلب المنيو نفذ. الطلبات: * قهوة مختصة (بن أثيوبي) * كرواسون التقييم: التجربة كانت ممتازة صراحة. القهوة المختصة بالبُن الأثيوبي كانت رائعة جدًا من حيث النكهة والتوازن، والكرواسون كذلك كان لذيذ وخفيف. الخلاصة: تجربة فوق الوصف رغم بساطتها، وأتمنى أرجع له مرة ثانية بدري عشان أجرب باقي الأصناف 👍 مكان يستحق الزيارة بقوة.

26/03/2026On s’est installées en terrasse pour boire un cappuccino chez Cafezal et c’est vraiment une belle expérience comme à chaque fois. Le barista nous a servi deux cappuccini avec un latte art différent. Une magnifique tulipe et un cygne hyper joli, un vrai plaisir pour les yeux avant même de goûter. J’ai d’autant plus apprécié mon cappuccino grâce au talent du barista et son attention aux détails. Il maîtrise absolument le latte art, je suis très impressionnée. La mousse était parfaite, bien onctueuse, et le café délicieux. On sent qu’il y a de la passion derrière chaque tasse. C’est exactement ce que j’attends d’un cappuccino et chez Cafezal ils réussirent toujours à répondre à mes attentes.

23/02/2026È stata un po' una delusione. Pensavo di trovare un caffè speciale, invece ho trovato un caffè non cattivo ma decisamente dolciastro e forse anche un po' banale. Forse le aspettative erano alte, anche per il nome altisonante del locale, ma posso dire che non tornerei. Una cosa che non ho capito è come mai se il locale è pensato per il caffè perché non c' è lo spazio per appoggiare le tazzine, che è occupato dalle vetrine dei dolci.

15/01/2026Хорошее место, отмеченное разными рейтингами, интересный выбор напитков, также можно взять что-то из сендвичей или выпечки, хорошее качество. Фильтр за 8€ не впечатлил, но к кофейне претензий нет. Приятный персонал, готовый помочь с выбором. Продают кофе собственной обжарки (средней, насколько я видел разные упаковки), включая декаф, также могут его помолоть под нужный способ приготовления. Приятная оживленная атмосфера, хорошая музыка.
