    Iced tea 3.25, chocolate chip cookie 2.99
    Kristen H.

    Still the best cafe in PDR according to me. Prices services vibe everything checks out. Got the iced tea and giant cookie today. Can't go wrong with giant cookie. Especially when it's chocolate chip. It is a lil crispy if I'm honest, the pastries aren't the star here like the food probably is. Til next time I guess

    My husband and I love to take a staycation and explore places around Los Angeles. We always pass in Playa Del Rey but never stop. This time we walked, see the beach, and stopped at this cafe for lunch. The food is fresh and delicious, very nice service, we forgot the water bottle of our dog, and they keep safely. The ambiance is super casual. You can have your dog on tables outside. $good price!

    Morning Breakfast.   Banana Pancakes.

    Great little spot by the beach to grab some food or even just a coffee. Great service and hospitality. Definitely recommended for everyone.

    $4 (hot mexican chocolate w/ almond milk) Cafe Milan Monologue: It was one of those days where I had no plans; nothing specific to do but just be out of the house. I filled up my gas tank and drove the streets of LA. I decided to go Playa del Rey and while in route, if I saw a place for a latte, I would go. I cruised on in to PDR and saw the "Cafe Milan: Restaurant, Coffee House" sign. Perfect! On this cold and windy day, I pulled into the parking lot. Walked inside to a cute little coffee shop. Far from busy, plenty of seats, cozy and clean. For whatever reason, I decided against the latte and got a hot mexican chocolate with almond milk. The fella behind that counter, with beautiful long hair, made a really delicious, comforting, hot chocolate beverage for me. I sat there, at the establishment, and took in the atmosphere; the colors, the simple decor and the other patrons that came in to order their favorite item on the menu. Take yourself to this cute coffee shop and support this local business. P.S. - Conversation with the handsome son of the owner was fun too.

    Some places, for whatever reason, really have me connected to the universe in a way that is profound. Cafe Milan is one of those places. I always find myself more introspective here. I feel like I am most myself here. And when you are most yourself you are more creative, more loving, more forgiving, etc. Just the best you you can be at that specific moment and time. When I am writing outside in what is essentially a parking lot that borders a small highway, I find the words just pour out of me. When I am thinking, I find the thoughts flow clearly. When I have a hard life decision to make, I come here to think on it while demolishing my plate filled with sausage, eggs, potatoes, and sourdough toast. The energy here is just so calm and restoring. You will likely read this and think this dude is absolutely nuts for writing this in a Yelp review lol. That's completely fair. But, my dear reader, I will respond with this: "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do" -Me Their breakfast burrito SLAPS too. IG: @jnov_

    Owners of Cafe discriminate and old fashioned. They don't think women under the age of 50 should visit their cafe. They do not want single women who are between the ages of 20-45 there alone. Unprofessional owners son flirts with customers giving his number to them then puts a ban on the same female customers. You will be banned if you do not sleep with them. It doesn't matter if you pay and are well behaved. They ban beautiful women.

    Avocado toast added an egg

    Whenever we have a chance, we would come back to have breakfast no matter the whether is, chilly or raining.

    Avocado toast

    I had amazing avocado toast and a delicious cappuccino! I just happened to be walking in the neighborhood and found this cute and cozy place with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was amazing!

    Bonjour. Cute little place with very good crepes! One worker doing it all with a smile…read more Bon appetit!

    THIS IS LONG CAUSE I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!:…read more Soooo: SUMMARY (FOR THE RUSHY RUSHY PEOPLE): great vibes has French music of different genres flowing in the air. DELICIOUS food (kudos to the chef). Good portions for the price. Food takes time cause it's bomb. #DontRushGreatness. Wonderful staff! Would love if open more hours to resume fun events ex: wine tasting open mic??? more chargers needed, clean bathroom. Parking lot small and tricky. Please be careful on that intersection. Traffic lights are meaningless to some. Beautiful decor ! And they change the menu :-) Go there it's lovely. Tell your crew but keep it classy. THATS IT! Phew. NOW GET COZY AND READ ON IF YOU HAVE THE TIME: The owner and her staff are so kind warm and welcoming! I've been coming here for what feels like a year? You walk in and feel instantly relaxed from the decor. Think ; vacation spot , "White Lotus" season 1 and 2 vibes. TIMING: The morning time is really popular from what I hear and there is sometimes a line. However go between 11-2:30 (closing time) and very calm 90% of the time. If/When there is a line people are so nice! No joke! Maybe because it's not a place you rush things. Everything is made fresh so some dishes take a bit of time. So I suggest going when you are not in a hurry. Or order to go. AMBIANCE: If you are a music lover, and enjoy international grooves, a French radio station or playlist is always on. Plus it's different styles of French music! There was rap, hip-hop, jazz, alternative. So while in line you'll probably find yourself tapping your feet. I really like the booths for the privacy. When it's busy those go QUICK. The basket chairs look glorious but I haven't tried them yet. Not sure if they are still up. But one day I'll nest in there...one day. NOW THE FOOD! The menu changes every so often which is exciting ! If you are minding your dollars and cents it's a bit pricey. HOWEVER, the food is great quality and from the dishes I've ordered the portions are a good size #WorthIt. I like their coffee and that they have milk alternatives. And I appreciate the menu is not overwhelming. If there are condiments they don't carry (due to the authenticity of the restaurant) they always recommend something comparable as a substitute. RECOMMENDATIONS: I dislike eating breakfast when it's not time for it. But when I come here? It's on! The goat cheese omelette is fluffy and delicious!! I add chicken to it que magnifique! (Hope that's right as I'm not using Ai in this moment . Apologies if it's wrong corrections welcome #respect) They had a juicy burger and it was so good they run out of it pretty often. The lox bagel has a decent amount of lox! The home fries aren't greasy (great with avocado for some reason) Bannana Bread is so tastes and moist! It feels more like a cake. I'd buy the whole basket but that would be unfair to "the OTHERS..." Just kidding lol. The lemon squares are about to be my new addiction too. But they keep it real sometimes popular dishes run out. And that's ok, it's a boutique spot. It's also a mini-rush when you order a dish that's finally available lol. ADVICE: PURPOSE: I'd come here for a smoothy after a workout. Breakfast with peers or a more relaxed business mtg. if you're in an ASL (Or any group/team) club like I was this is a great place to meet. The light is fantastic! They have their own wiFii. CLEANLINESS/KIDS? Their bathroom is clean. Place is spotless. You might see a table with dishes to be cleared but it's never overwhelming or a bunch of tables in that state so, chill! I'm not sure I've seen a lot of families with kids in there. And I'm not sure if I saw a changing table. I have a 4 year old so I look at things like that but I know they'd be very accommodating. DRAWBACKS?: I've only seen one outlet over a booth in the middle? So make sure you are charged up or have a looong chord. They also close pretty early when I'm there at 2:30pm. CREATIVE PLANS FROM STAFF: However, one of the baristas shared with me they used to be open longer. But due to Covid it's been slow. So they adjusted the hours. They have lots of ideas if things pick up. And I think in the past they did wine tasting with selections directly from France! I think they could have a fabulous open mic poetry night. Maybe even a small live band every so often. Game night classy style? hehe. If they allowed the tables to be moved I'd do an art premiere there! No joke #Ideas. YOU, yes you: Step one? Get more awesome people to adore this place like I do. So check it out! Enjoy the food and ambiance and the kindness. I'll see you at the open mic wish I could add a pic but maybe next time!

The picture shows the second time they got my drink wrong after less than a week they got it wrong again and it was the same person, I can't get his name because his name tag is obscured he's a tall white guy with black hair in a man bun. I showed him this drink and instead of reacting the way the staff at Starbucks centinela did when I took it there to get it remade with 0 problems or attitude he just makes an excuse saying they needed to "fit all of it in" Before this when I first arrived I didn't even recognize it as my drink until I saw the name I mean I thought it would be a no brainer fix but apparently I'm in the wrong for coming here The first time they got it wrong this same barista with the smeared name tag and Dylan both treat me like I'm asking for too much and like I don't know what I want Dylan looked at me and said" with three shots?" Like I didn't know what three shots does to the drink visually. I do and I have the bank receipts to prove it literally all over town Ive spent a lot of money on this drink I used to see this place as part of my community where I could come and rely on having a good spot to relax and be at but not anymore and that is sad for me, probably funny for those two guys but sad for me and I will not go back to a place like that it was a good run PS that photo is exactly as it appeared when I picked it up I didn't drink any of it because I was so insulted they didn't even offer to make it right. that photo is taken outside Starbucks centinela where they didn't even need me to say anything they say it and immediately made it the way ever other Starbucks, including the Lincoln one from the past, makes it
