The aesthetic of this place is great. They had fun music playing and a couple signs that basically said they are a cafe and the atmosphere is for that which is nice. The only things available when we arrived around 11am Was the croissant and berries tart. Everything else was sold out, which must be a good sign. Poor planning on our part as we were holding to try some of their pastries. The croissant was good, nothing crazy. The coffee was delicious and very rich in flavor. The berries tart was mildly dry/bland. Overall an enjoyable place but I would suggest coming early so you aren't limited to options like we were. Thanks!
Out of all the great meals I've had in Italy I can't believe this is my first review. Like most tourists I've been enjoying the hotel breakfast however this morning after a run and a late start I couldn't muster another hotel spread and had to venture out for something new. I found Pave on Yelp however the last review was years ago so I wasn't sure if it was even open. Not only was it open it was booming and I now know why. I sat outside which was lovely despite the heat and enjoyed the Pave sandwich with an added scrambled egg. I had an Americano followed by at a cappuccino, because why not and was incredibly pleased with the entire experience. I wish I would have found this place sooner!!
Croissants are five stars along with the service. I love how they take the time to talk to customers. Most of the bread-based items are baked in the house. The desserts look beautiful, but I'm not convinced that they make them as well. I had the sachettorte. thought it was good, but not memorable. Self setting for table surface on two levels .
Delicious, went her twice in our vacation. The line gets long but moves fast!!! The staff is amazing, I think they are superhuman. Highly recommend the filled croissants, and the prosciutto and Stracciatella sandwich!
Cute cafe with various desserts and drinks. Came here while we were walking around the area on the way to the train station. Takeout and dine-in are available (service charge per person applies). If you opt for dine-in, you pay at the counter afterwards. Single occupant restroom is available. Cash and credit cards are accepted. They were out of croissants by the afternoon, but the cakes were very tasty. The tonka was a light dessert option and had a sprinkling of pistachios (it's not too sweet). The eclissi was the chocolatey cake and a tad richer than the tonka, but still not too sweet. The cappuccino was yummy and they do serve alcohol.
We got the Tonka & Lamponi as well as a Cortado. All absolutely wonderful. We very much enjoyed sitting in the loft area, cozy, charming and busy.
A must if you're in Milan. We went on our last day and I was disappointed we hadn't gone there sooner as I would've made sure we went back several times. They also have iced coffee, which for an American girl in Europe is always a treat. I had the bombolone salato farcito con stracciatella di bufala e culatta di Langhirano the Crema alla vaniglia del Madagascar brioche (croissant) and both were incredible. They offer order at the counter and take away or seated and a server will take your order. I'm already planning my next trip back to Milan so I can eat her again. Highly recommend, do not miss!!
Perfect spot for breakfast with indoor and outdoor seating. My boyfriend had an espresso, while I went for the cold brew (which was definitely not cold brew, more like weak iced coffee, but having a cold beverage ruled). Apricot tart and peach croissant were both great, and the egg croissant (weekend special) was amazing. Definitely recommended!
Tantissime proposte molto interessanti, tutto sembra di qualità e buonissimo. Io ho preso una brioche vuota perché ero in missione di assaggio di croissant/cornetto semplice. Molto buona, pasta brioche non sfogliata, ma comunque buona, croccante fuori e leggera e morbida dentro. Tornerò per provare le altre proposte.
Staff spoke enough English to help us out. They were super nice and speedy. The coffee and food were amazing. We would 1000% go back and highly recommend for breakfast or lunch
We loved popping into Pavé while in Italy! Thoroughly enjoyed delicious their coffee and brunch.
Super cute cafe that was like a 15 minute walk from our hotel in Milan. Their cafe macchiato is out of this world. Pastries were huge and fluffy. I think you pay like 3 euros (?) to sit down? Either way, I liked their menu. The waitress's English was pretty good. There's free wifi here as well. Definitely a must stop by!
There isn't much else on this street but it's worth the trek here just for the pistachio and white chocolate tart (pictured). Also picked up some biscotti for friends back home. Service is excellent (English menus are available on request). Be warned that eating is communal so you may find yourself rubbing up against some people you've never met; ive only had friendly experiences so far.
Great vibe as soon as you walk in. It gets busy so be prepared to wait. The staff were very friendly even though they were busy. The pastry counter was amazing. Lots to choose from. I went with the double baked and it was delicious. Looked like an almond croissant, but has raspberry and white chocolate hidden inside...it was a good start to the day! The savoury breakfasts that came out all looked really good and they do lunch as well. Definitely worth a visit. Quick do take out but slower, relaxed eat-in service. read more

We stopped here for a cup of coffee and pastry after arriving in Milan. We had a nice seat outside and enjoyed an avocado toast and a pastry. It felt very charming and cozy! read more
We wanted to grab breakfast and when I searched online, Pave looked like the best option for us. Due to the jet lag still, we're up early so we ended up as their first customers of the day when we arrived. You seat yourself either outside, upstairs or on the ground level in the dining area if you want to dine in. They also have a restroom on the ground level. A lot of people just got their orders to go. We dined in and sat along the wall on the ground level. Customer service was friendly and we were brought menus right away. We ordered a Pave Sandwich, an Eggs and Bacon, two Americanos, a Lamponi, a flat water and a Croissant filled with Madagascar vanilla filling (this item was to go). The food was quite good and we enjoyed our breakfast here. Mink commented about the quality of the ingredients they use and she said she could taste the difference. It was definitely legit so I concur with her statement. When you're done, you go up to the cashier to pay. Great cafe to check out in Milan! read more

Excellent pastries and desserts!! Tonka (6 euro) was incredible. Loved the texture / taste of the crust, the cream which was not too sweet, and the yummy pistachio crumble on top!! Would be great as a dessert. Fruit pastry (2 euro) was really good and would work well as a breakfast or snack. read more
This hipstery cafe is cranking out delicious pastries and drinks. There is a mix of locals and tourists crowding the space, attesting to its popularity. Upon entering the display case is a site to behold, showcasing their crafted cakes and desserts. We ordered the pistachio tonka, the barbajada drink and a pims cocktail. The pistachio tonka was sweet and delicious. The sweet cream on top with short bread at the bottom and pistachio in between adding an earthiness to this sweet treat. The cocktail was well balanced and the barbajada was also just the caffeine hit I needed. Grab a pastry, a coffee and maybe a cocktail if it's not too early. Atmosphere: 5/5 Food/drink: 5/5 Cost: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall: 5/5 read more
Looking for a cafe to get breakfast, we decided to go here. I had the ham and cheese croissant and barbajada to drink. Their sweet pastries looked so good, but I wanted something a little more substantial so I got the meat croissant. And it was still really good. Good portion of ham and cheese, and the croissant was buttery and flakey. I've never heard of barbajada, but it was a chocolatey coffee drink. They give you a small glass. It was a bit too bitter for me, but after adding some sugar I really enjoyed it. Nice cafe for coffee and pastries. Good wifi too. read more
Pavé is a cozy, quaint, hipster-esque cafe in Milan. My sister and I were craving something sweet so we stopped by Pavé mid-afternoon. Almost all of the seats (including the armchairs) were taken except for a square table, and we had to sit next to another couple. All of the tarts and pastries looked so-o pretty, and we stood by the counter for a few minutes just to stare. We ordered a kouign-amann and sfogliatelle to share. It was our first times trying out these baked goods, and they did not disappoint. The kouign-amann was made of pull-apart, folded pastry squares, and it was extremely rich, buttery, but not over the top sweet. The sfogliatelle could have been a bit warmer, but it was still delicious. Like any European pastry, the roll was crunchy, crackly on the outside, but still buttery, soft, and chewy on the inside. I only wish they put more custard cream inside. They do cover charge per person, but the atmosphere and ambience of the cafe makes you want to stay there all afternoon. read more

Items Selected: Millefoglie St. Honore Apricot Walnut and Custard Focaccia Dulce Prune Croissant Lemon Hazelnut Plum Cake Hazelnut and Ginger Girella Given the international status of Milan it should not be expected that a smattering of imports and trendy concepts have begun to infuse their dining landscape, yet taking into account the seemingly universal belief of Italians regarding their craftsmanship being unparalleled Pave still seemed like an outlier, the food and the service both seemingly transported from Brooklyn's Hipster scene. Located on Via Felice Casati and offering traditional counter service in addition to a smattering of tables packed-to-capacity even at the off-hour of 10h00 on a Thursday, patrons entering Pave may be shocked by the frenetic pace and high volumes created by high ceilings and loud voices, the exposed kitchen seeing a flurry of activity as Baristas quickly pull shots while also running tabs and shelving fresh Pastries. Taking a modern approach to their work, none of the standard Bombolini, Cornetto or Cannoli offered elsewhere to be found, humorous T-shirts including "Bread or Death" and "Chocolate is the Answer" flank a collection of perhaps two-dozen daily choices, the Lemon Plum Cake eaten warm from the oven nicely flavored with a moist, crumbly texture while an equally fresh Croissant saw it's golden shell shatter into a hundred pieces around a whole grain center stuffed with Prune Jam. Further impressing with the complex flavor of fresh Apricot, Walnuts and soft-set Custard at the center of a laminated square as a coil of springy Brioche saw senses refreshed by the flavors of Ginger juxtaposing toasted Hazelnuts, the tasting of Pave ended with a pair of French Classics showing the St. Honore to unfortunately be slightly soggy while the just-stacked Millefoglie fared far better with Zabaglione offered as a stand-in for traditional Custard or Cream. read more
Love this place but why don't they have cheesecakes? Cheesecakes are getting incredibly popular in Milano so I bet they can make a pretty good one! The place is super cozy and you feel just like at home on your living room, you can enjoy some nice pastries and a coffee while reading newspapers in the morning. This place is unique and it doesn't have that much competition around. All the places nearby are the usual boring cheap dates coffee places with the same boring croissant and espresso. Pavè brings some fresh air to the breakfast scene by providing a nice location, welcoming stuff and awesome pastries/coffee/bakery. Gonna be going back pretty often! Remember to make a cheesecake next time ;) read more

I definitely recommend making the journey to Pavé if you're in Milan. It was absolutely delicious. The croissant was buttery and flaky, not heavy. I also had a fruit tart with raspberries. Of course, I also had coffee. I had both a latte macchiato and marocchino. Both very well crafted drinks. read more
Open letter to Pave'. So far I'm not impressed with Pave', also if I've been here more than three times. I can't help but wonder why they changed so quickly the spirit the place was born with. Getting popular does authomatically mean you need to change attitude? Maybe. I'm not talking about the quality, that is always good. Just thinking about the small cakes, awesome. During my last visit with friends I paid more than 2 euros for a kipfel, sort of an almond croissant, good but not unforgettable. What I did not appreciate is the fact that all of my friends and I got charged at the register of 1 euro just for the table service. Is it a joke? Aren't the prices high enough to include the service? After all we are not in the USA and Pave' doesn't look like the kind of old style italian cafe where you get charged for a table service, not for lunch but for a coffee and a croissant. The staff has been very nice during the last visit when I was sitting at a communal table downstairs, bad, slow and unattentive in the previous one when I was sitting upstairs. Sitting upstairs looks like somebody will forget about your presence soon. The place still looks cozy, they have american brewed coffee (rare in town) and still deserves more than one visit, but paying so much and being charged 1 more additional euro for the service made me become reluctant and change my mind. If you guys at Pave change your mind and decide to take the service off at least for afternoon coffee I will be back, I promise. After all you got so popular, and have so many people visiting, that you really need to charge so much? #Thanks# read more

Truly great place; laid back atmosphere, fantastic coffee and extraordinary fresh juice, try the apple beetroot ginger juice if you get the opprtunity orgo for the Meat & Cheese platter... Best coffee shop in Milano I'd say... read more
Nice coffeeshop but very hard to find. Its a small shop in het buenos aires area with nice coffee a hipster vibe and the most delicious patisserie. I've had the pistacio tart and it was very good. The interior is very basic and the prices are okay. Good place to meet with a friend for a long conversation ;) read more

I don't often leave 5-star reviews, but this place is certainly worth it. From the friendly services, to the fresh pastries baked on site, to the perfectly steamed cappuccini, this place has everything you need to start your day. We were recently in Milano on vacation and tried this place out on a whim. Needless to say, we returned every morning. Not a single complaint. Tables are available on two floors, some of which are shared among visitors (which might sound somewhat unappealing, but we never had a problem). Prices are reasonable, and service is prompt. Careful on the weekend when things can get a little busy, you might have to wait five minutes for a table, and the bar area can get a little crowded. Oh, and the cappuccino is available in an XL size in case you have a long day planned. read more

Highly recommending you to come to this cute coffee pastry shop if you ever find yourself in Milan. The shop itself is just cute and causal. The decoration is very European and young. It gives you the feeling that you are sitting in someone's home kitchen. We tried the butter croissant, lemon tart, and vanilla crispy pie... they were so amazingly delicious ! Pieces are very reasonable and service is fast ! Come here for a nice breakfast, shopping break or afternoon tea ! you might have to wait in line to get a table, but it normally takes around 10-15 mins ! ( it's worth the wait, trust me !) Give it a try ! read more

Must visit in Milan!! Me and my friend arrived around 10ish and the place has already been full with customers. I had to wait for 10 minutes to be seated but worth it! I ordered cinnamon roll and raisin, taste was so good. Not too sweet and a bit crunchy. The cappucino was fine. I also ordered fragole mascarpone and I loooovee it! The strawberries were fresh and sweet. The cream was also good. It was made perfectly!! Definitely will go back!! read more
