I was really excited to hear about a gluten-free bakery in Milan, so I made sure this was on my…read morelist of places to visit during my trip, sadly PanPerMe Gluten Free Bakery failed to impress and left me feeling rather disappointed.
The menu was very limited, mainly consisting of plates of food which consisted of many items, I don't like this approach as it meant that if you were not too hungry, and just wanted a sandwich, you had to order a whole tray of food, including drinks, the food is priced reasonable, but considering you are unable to order the items individually, it does work out a little pricey if you're not interested in ordering the whole "brunch".
I was told they would be unable to make individual items or modify toppings.
The seating was limited, and due to being busy, I was placed in the outdoor seating area, which was in a rather uncomfortable garden chair, on a street in a residential area, so it wasn't the most welcoming area either.
I went for the American brunch, which came to 22€. Again, I was disappointed with the quality of my food and drink, the orange juice tasted cheap and watered down, while the bread also was poor, even for gluten-free bread, it didn't hold together and fell apart in my hands while I tried to eat my sandwich, which you wouldn't expect from a specialist bakery.
The staff seemed friendly enough, and with our basic knowledge of each other's languages, they seemed to try their best to help, with me using a Translate app, It wasn't the waitress's fault for the inability to modify dishes, she seemed to be trying to do her best to help when the kitchen wouldn't budge.
The potatoes were greasy, and I didn't understand why they would include watermelon on the same plate.
The desserts were just okay, my guest ended up enjoying hers, and my pistachio-based cupcake (I'm not sure of the exact name) was moist and did taste quite good, perhaps they should go back to the basics and stick to the desserts.
