A friend and I stopped by for breakfast in Milano. It was walking distance from the major…read moreattractions like Il Duomo, but certainly wasn't a tourist trap. Many locals stopped in for the traditional Italian standing at the counter espresso and cornetto. We, however, wanted to sit down and relax and they had ample seating upstairs to do so. The waitress brought our cappuccinos to our table and we enjoyed looking down at the bustling cafe. The pastry selection was amazing and it was hard to decide what to get! I got a savory croissant sandwich and a pistachio cream-filled croissant. I ate a croissant every day for a week in Italy and these were definitely the best ones we found! The pistachio cream was a little sweet and it was filled to the point that when I bit in it exploded everywhere, but then again I'm a bit of a mess. Also no regrets. If I had been in Milano longer I would have come back to try even more pastries!

Lavazza Super Crema: Founded in Turin in 1895 by Italian Luigi Lavazza, Lavazza Coffee is still a…read morefamily business as it is currently administered by the third and fourth generations of the Lavazza family. I discovered their Super Crema blend as it frequently came up while searching for best tasting brands that can be found at grocery stores. The packaging is an attractive dark blue and gold that radiates elegance. Super Crema is a blend of both arabica and robusta beans with origins in Asia and South America. The official description from Lavazza is "full-bodied, harmonious experience, with notes of roasted hazelnut and brown sugar." My bag contained whole beans and grinding them at home helped me to brew the freshest cup possible. Sipping a warm cup, I could detect a mild roasted hazelnut, brown sugar is a stretch though. Regardless, this is still a delicious blend and is significantly better than the only other blend I've tried from Lavazza.

It's situated next to the best designers (a close walk to Chanel, for instance) and while the service was a bit cold, they were efficient and didn't rush us.

We also got the pistachio and chocolate marizottis - I loved the chocolate one. Decor inside is beautiful and I loved their seating area - each table had a small bud vase of fresh peonies.

Classy coffee and Viennoiserie place in the Milano Brera neighborhood, just a few minutes walk from…read morethe Duomo, the heart of Milan. The array of Viennoiserie is impressive and visually very appealing, they have at least 5 versions of the pain Suisse, which is usually one of my top picks. And this time was no different, I tried a pain Suisse and a cappuccino. The pain Suisse was very good, but not the best I tried. The filling was outstanding, perfect balance of pastry cream and chocolate, but the shell was a bit disappointing, it was not crunchy at all. Overall it was very good, but not stellar, I might be back to try the classic croissant or the pain au chocolat, those usually set the benchmark.
