Crazy Cat Cafe is located in a quiet part of Milan even though it is surprisingly close to the Milan Centrale Station. They recommend pressing the doorbell when you are ready to enter as to not let the cats out. They were serving lunch only when we arrived and start serving coffee at 2:30 pm. There is a 1.5 euro charge per person for visiting the cats and require a 3.5 euro per person additional consumption minimum. We ordered the buffalo and spinach ravioloni, pappardelle with tuna ragout, octopus and shrimp soup, and the set menu (gnocchi). The gnocchi and soup were great, the ravioloni was decent, and we didn't finish the pappardelle. The lavendar lemonade was refereshing. The cats were mostly asleep when we arrived. Freddie Mercury loves the staff and mainly wanted to cuddle up with them. Mina was chilling and got the most pets out of us. Blondie was trapped in the bathroom but seemed like he/she wanted to stay there and also was screaming for pets. It was interesting to see Joey (the three-legged black cat) climb and run around. I would definitely love to come back when they serve coffee and just relax.

Otherwise people would just go to pet the cats and then leave. lol The cats were great. I mean they weren't very friendly. You could tell they were tired of people lol But it was fun to see them laying around or even playing with each other. We ordered the spooky lemonade and hot chocolate. I wouldn't recommend the hot chocolate though. Not my favorite. The lemonade was fire! So good! I got the skull dessert and it was so cute! Plus it tasted good. And my husband ordered the fried mushrooms. He didn't care for that too much. Overall, a great stop to visit some cute cats! :)

If you're a late riser, skipped breakfast at home, came from a long train ride or are heading off traveling, this is definitely a good spot in the centrale station to stop by.

The staff is very friendly and everything is always made fresh. They also have to go cups in case you're in a hurry and can't skip coffee. Great spot in centrale station, make sure to check it out!

ORIGIN: Caffe' Panzera opened nearly one hundred years ago…read moreand continues to be owned by the same family. LOCATION: The cafe remains it its original location on a street corner near the Milan Station. As a result, it is a popular and familiar destination for visitors looking to refresh before or after travel. CONCEPT: Caffe Panzera serves the diverse needs of visitors and local residents alike ... as a coffee house, bakery, and restaurant/bar. EXPERIENCE: My experience represents being a visitor looking for a place to have breakfast, unwind from travel, and pick up some pastries. In this way it is aligned with a big component of what Caffe Panzera offers. There are several breakfast combinations on the menu and I chose "Caffe Salata". Anticipating visitors from near and far, the menu includes an English translation. The combination includes a cup of espresso, a freshly made sandwich composed of cheese, thin slices of cured ham (Prosciutto) on a warmed long roll, and, to my delight fresh squeezed blood orange juice. I enjoyed each very much. As shops might be closed at my final destination, I picked up some pastries -- Cannoli and Sfogliatelle. ATMOSPHERE: There is seating inside and outside the restaurant, densely packed, with glass-topped cloth covered tables. When I visited it was off hours, so there was no sense of feeling crowded. The original counter, depicted in photographs, remains intact. SERVICE: The server kindly offered me a glass of water to extend my relaxing perch. I thought this was considerate... I didn't feel pushed out the door, as is the case in many U.S. urban restaurants. Thoughtful details... the curved water glass and paper doily, elevated the otherwise simple drink. TIPS: One time I received pastries in a paper bag, another in a sturdy box. I suggest requesting a box if you would like your pastries to present well at arrival. A bathroom is located up a steep and narrow staircase. In reading other's reviews, some are apparently referring to a location inside of the train station. This original location is outside of the train station at a street corner and likely reflects a very different experience. Although an English translation is available on the menu, it is easy to order in the language of the server. This is respectful and likely welcomed despite foreign accent.
