    Excellent bakery, we repeated the experience three times, and would go back more if we could. Everything they offer is delicious, brioche, croissants, breads, pastries, and the coffee is amazing too. My favorites were the chocolate brioche and Swiss croissant, paired with a cappuccino; heaven! Make time to stop by, you won't regret it!

    Wonderful bakery and cafe. Princi had a wide selection of breads, coffee, desserts, panini and take away pizza. I got the caprese pizza. It was delicious - the dough was crunchy and flavourful, and the toppings were very fresh. The counter service was quick and efficient. This is mostly a take-away place, but there are high tables inside and outside, if you want to stick around.

    The food? Fine. Not trying to be more than it is, and it shows. The spritz, though--sharp, balanced, no frills, just done right. What pulls you in is the atmosphere: stone, wood, heat. There is an honesty to it. You see the process through glass--flour flying, hands moving fast, and behind it all, stacked wood like a quiet reminder this place still respects fire and craft. Not a destination, but a damn decent pause if you are wandering Milan and need a drink with some bite.

    Great bakery This is a wonderful bakery with a large range of lunch, snack and dessert options. The coffee is quite good too!

    we saw reviews online and so when we were near the duomo we decided to check it out, and i would recommend everyone to check it out. there are three different stations - first is bread and pies, second is pizza and third are coffee and pastries. the third line is generally the longest and in the morning can take approximately 20 mins. we ordered the orange juice, chocolate croissant, brownie, bread roll and cookie. each was really good in flavor and quality. overall a high quality bakery!

    Focaccia/arugula/prosciutto/mozzarella sandwich. EXCELLENT

    Princi is an EXCELLENT bakery and café. There are several locations throughout Milan and Europe. I recently learned that Starbucks is a licensed partner with Princi since 2016. This fun fact did not ruin my authentic Italian bakery experience. The focaccia sandwiches are delicious. Made with fresh ingredients and the bread is super crispy on the outside! my favorite item was the olive bread, I have never had anything like this in my life. The bread was absolutely divine stuffed with lots of fresh castelvetrano olives! Blew my mind away! My only regret is not buying more. The bakery sells out of this delicious olive bread every single day. My goodness...I'll never forget how yummy this place is!

    This was a really cool spot to visit! It was a bit confusing on how the queue worked once inside, not to mention that you also have to make a queue outside to get in. But once inside there is a large area with different stations surrounding what seems to be a huge coffee grinder? We ordered three different pizzas, a croissant, large cookie along with two coffees and a lemon spritzer. I absolutely loved the spritzer, it tasted just like a virgin mojito. As for the food it was okay. I mean you are in Italy! I feel like the pizza a restaurant is much better (though I could be biased as I got the buffalo pizza which apparently is supposed to be cold because of the fresh mozzarella). Overall, I feel like this is an interesting place to visit once. Especially for their drinks and possibly a pastry. I personally would skip the pizza.

    Au hasard d'une rue nous sommes tombés sur cette boulangerie et en avons profité pour y prendre quelques pizzas pour un apéro et une brioche pour le déjeuner du lendemain. C'était en fin de journée alors la sélection n'était plus aussi grande qu'en début de journée. Le service a été assez rapide. Les pizzas étaient bonnes, quoi que un peu épaisses et la brioche était correcte mais sans plus... après il est difficile de juger si c'était une spécialité locale ou pas. C'était très peu sucré et un peu sec à mon goût mais nous avons tout de même tout mangé.

    A little confusing as to how the queue worked (do I wait over there or over here?) but other than that, the usual pointing at one of the breakfast sandwiches and "double espresso" worked wonders. The young lady taking orders understood enough English for that. Excellent coffee (how did I manage skip getting coffee yesterday??) that got me going despite the six hour jet lag. With the coffee, the breakfast sandwich gave me the energy I needed for another walking tour of Milan. This small cafe has seating and a free wifi (the code was printed on the receipt) so I sat for a bit to catch my bearings and work out the plan of attack for the rest of the day.

    - Cute pastry shop chess a couple of blocks away from the duomo. Buttery croissants. Well priced coffee/espresso drinks. Good quick stop for breakfast or a quick lunch.

    Wonder bakery with freshly baked breads, Focaccia, and desserts onsite! It's first come first serve so expect a line.

    Baker's area

    It was a little chaotic in there as the place was on a tight side, there's really no system on ordering and getting your food.

    Amazing food! The bread is out of this world and the pastries are divine. As I was leaving they were setting out gorgeous salads.

Stremati da una camminata interminabile per il centro di Milano, abbiamo deciso di trattarci bene e di fare un piccolo aperitivo dolce in una delle pasticcerie storiche di Milano. Abbiamo ispezionato Bastianello, Marchesi e Cova, e abbiamo deciso per quest'ultima. Budino di crema cotta, cannoncino, cavolino, cioccolata con panna, tutto era eccellente e servizio impeccabile.

We were able to get a table right away even though it was pretty crowded on a Saturday morning. I wanted to look at the pastries and order there, but the whole process was a little chatoic. I told the woman behind the counter that I was sitting down at a table, and she told me she would hand it to my waiter. After waiting a bit, our waiter had to come back and ask what I ordered, and it seemed like he wasn't able to find it. Eventually he did come back with the correct order, and he was very apologetic about it. We haven't had the best service in Italy, but our server here was amazing! He was so kind and made the experience that much better. As for the pastries, I got the croissant with vanilla cream and the raspberry maritozzo. I wasn't expecting to like the maritozzo because I don't usually like cream puffs, but this one was so different from the ones I've had in the US! The cream was so light and fluffy, and the brioche bread was the perfect accompaniment. The raspberry jam added a nice tart flavor to it as well. Overall, this place gets a little crowded sometimes, but it's a great place to stop by when you're shopping!
