Starbucks on Via Borgogna, Milano, is one of 11 locations (As of August 2022) of Starbucks in…read moreItaly, it is open until 8 pm every day, and is in a nice area with many shops nearby, making it a useful stop-off to grab a coffee while shopping.
Prices work out around 10% more than back home in the UK, I had to pay a little more on top of that too as my Gold member perks such as free shots, and syrups can not be used here as Starbucks in Italy doesn't recognise international Starbucks cards (I'm not sure if they have their own system here, as I did not notice any advertising)
If you're looking for the generic Starbucks experience, this store can offer that, but the Starbucks Reserve Roastery (Just over a kilometre away via foot, or a 3-minute journey on the Metro), is a unique experience that no other Starbucks in Europe can offer, so is the better nearby location.
The store was fairly modern, it had a good feel to it, and it did seem quite busy, I just about managed to get a table. The staff seemed friendly enough and managed the queues very well, so I was able to order, get my drink and sat down rather quickly.
I ordered a Grande Vanilla Cold Brew, which tasted slightly stronger, and not as sweet as back home, I'm not sure if this is down to the store making the drink wrong, or just a different process to back home.
3* - Not a bad place to stop for a drink while shopping in Milan, or if you're passing by, but much better places from Starbucks and independents around the city for sure.
