Stumbled across this place wandering around Brera. At first, the service seems a tiny bit abrupt but then I realised it's just efficient. So efficient. Someone is taking your order while someone else is sorting out your table. By the time you're seated, your coffee is on its way. Your food arrives soon after. And the food was amazing. Coffee also. My only regret is that I didn't have space to try any of their pastries. They looked spectacular.

I loved eating there every morning—focaccia, cannoli, and their delicious coffee. The service was friendly, fast, and very polite. They email and do whatever they can to make you feel comfortable.Vanessa and Mike (hopefully I spelled that correctly) was amazing. I will definitely go there again on my next visit to Milan.u

I found this little cafe after arriving in Milano and on my way to my hotel They have a huge selection of sandwiches and pastries and they all look absolutely appetizing I took a grilled sandwich with ham and melted cheese and a warm croissant with prosciutto and they were both delicious. The bread seemed to be fresh and the filling was generous I also tried a small pastry with vanilla cream. The outside was crunchy and the cream was very tasty Note that the place is very small and there is outside and inside sitting The servers were very helpful, attentive and polite and I would totally recommend this place. A great choice for a quick breakfast

This is an extremely good place to have a sandwich and coffee. Small and cozy, staff are all welcoming, and the selection of sandwiches is big. I had the vegetarian focaccia and it was delicious. You have to pay them a quick visit if you’re in Milan.

A nice location for some high quality and tasty food. Debbie's was a nice surprise for us, a lot of good stuff on display and it becomes hard to actually pick what to eat. The food came out pretty fast and I highly recommend getting a focaccia and some pastries.

Such a cozy spot! The focaccia was insanely good—crispy edges, soft inside, and packed with flavor. And those pistachio croissants? Just wow. Warm, flaky, and filled with the creamiest pistachio goodness. The coffee was spot on too—strong, smooth, and super satisfying. Honestly, everything tasted so fresh and real. Una vera colazione italiana.

It was such a wonderful experience, the atmosphere was extremely welcoming, and all throughout my time eating the sandwich regulars kept on coming in one after the other. Debbie(?) i think, was an extremely joyful and bubbly women who made the whole shop bubble up and she treated each customer with the same amount of excitement and energy!! Not to mention the food was good as well, the cappuccino was good and there was a huge coffee machine behind the counter. I had the focaccia Bianca and it was so good!!! Focaccia so fresh, crispy yet spongey at the same time, and the ham (not sure if it was parma or sth else) was sosososo goood!!! They weren’t shy with the ingredients either!! Deserves the high rating they have, the other pastries also look really good but I didn’t get a chance to try them.
