Walking in the streets of Milan, we were looking for a place to have some coffee and some eggs…read more Well this place did it!! Totally awesome, coffee was on point and so were the eggs. The Benedicts with some cappuccino, best way to start your morning. If I'm ever around this area, I'll stop by again.

This is a fun and stylish coffee shop with a combination of traditional fare (espresso, cappuccino,…read moreetc) and pastries along with more froofroo drinks (lattes with additives and what-not that you might find in a chain from Seattle). They have free WiFi that seems to actually work so the spot stays crowded with tourists and locals looking for a spot to hang out, chat, work or just relax. We had a few panini's with our coffee and they were very well presented, with marinated olives and some chip-like crackers. We are definitely fans but I wouldn't say this is the best coffee spot on the planet. The search continues...

Best place to eat Arrosticini and food from Abruzzo. Small…read morespaces and a strong smoke cloud shouldn't stop you from trying it out. The quality of the food is pretty high (the owners have food shipped from Pescara almost daily) and there's an awesome variety of Abruzzese delicacies (check out the fried cheese, the Sise, and the Neole). Owners are really nice and behind the typical shyness of people from Abruzzo, they're welcoming and proud of their origins. Hard working family they are indeed, parents and children work together day and night. Prices are low and straightforward honest. For example 8€ for a bottle of excellent montepulciano. Btw great place to bring the kids, there are colors and a wall to post your best drawings. Worst downside is that I miss Pescara every time I'm here

The eggs were out of this world creamy moist and hot. Not sure what the dollops were but they went well with the eggs and bacon atop the toast. The Mokachino was dangerously good, could have ordered 5 more.

I discovered Piada while researching the must eat foods in Milan and this seemed like the best…read moreplace to get it. I wasn't fucking around so GF and I schlepped the 20+ minute walk over to this place from the city's center. It's small and unassuming which is part of its charm. We arrived literally in the nick of time because there were a few tables left, one of which we were able to snag immediately after placing our order. As we were finishing up, the place had become a bustling mad house and there was already a queue waiting for our table. I LOVE the fact that this place offers vegetarian and vegan options of which GF and I took full advantage. I ordered one of their vegan offerings with zucchini, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and hummus. This was super hearty and I loved how full of veggies it was but they were a little heavy on the olive oil which is probably standard fare for Italians. For me, it was too much. GF ordered a vegetarian piada with mushrooms, zucchini, and cheese. She says it "was amazing" and that she "really enjoyed it". They have a million other variations depending on your preferences and prices are super reasonable.

I'm a bit disappointed by this place, i had very high expectations based on the stellar reviews. As…read moresoon as I got in I saw a mountain of pre-sliced cured meats, amassed on the preparation counter in open air, which was not a good sign to me. Service was pretty quick, maybe due to the pre-sliced meats actually, but the prosciutto crudo in both the piadina we got was tough, and not soft to the bite as it should be. It was very difficult to eat, because you got a big chunk of prosciutto at every bite due to its toughness. The piadina were filled generously and looked great. So many good things about this place, but finally my eating experience was sub optimal. I don't think I'll be back.

We have been in Italy for a week visiting from Florida and…read morethis has been one of the best vegan restaurants we visited. I highly recommend doing one of their 3 or 4 course menu options they offer. My daughter and I both picked different ones so we could share and taste a total of 6 dishes.

We were shocked by the exorbitant prices but realized that any of their dishes can be split between two people. The food was tasty and well made. As a coffee snob, I thought California Bakery served one of the most delicious, perfectly dialed-in espressos in Italy. The cappuccino was delicious. Worth a visit!

They have approximately 40 plus tables for full capacity. There are tons of stuff on the menu. It reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory menu. I ordered the scrambled eggs with toast and fresh cut fruit and it tasted awesome. This place is another local favorite and I think on both occasions we and another table were the only tourists as most tables were occupied by Milanese folks. We didn't get to try any of the desserts as we went pretty early in the morning but I bet you they most probably were excellent too. 5 star breakfast spot in the central Milan area. Would recommend going there once on your trip to Milan.
