This bar is quite cozy and a short walk away from Monza train station into the center bustling piazza area. The entrance is weird, since the café is part of a larger shopping "mall" area. I stopped by for a quick breakfast before heading home one day, and was taken by (pleasant) surprise upon viewing the brioche display. These brioche looked unique to me, in that the top was completely encrusted with what looked like frosted sugar...maybe not meant to be an everyday splurge, but I didn't mind splurging that morning! I got a pistachio brioche that was too pretty to eat, and paired that with my cappuccino (which I kept sugar out of, since my brioche appeared to come coated with it!). I do think I got ripped off though, in that I should have been charge 5 euros but I was charged 7...on my receipt it said "caffe" 2 euro charge, which I thought might have been a mistake since I didn't order a black coffee with my cappuccino and brioche, but I also wasn't sure if it was a seating charge... ...but I also wasn't in the mood to fight about it, haha. read more
