This is a lovely, spacious health food shop in central Milan with two floors of healthy foodie and…read morenatural beauty bits and bobs. We popped in here for a quick snack to tide us over till our dinner reservation. We ended up browsing the shop for some time. There were also a variety of tasters to try within the shop which was a really nice addition to our visit. The only downside is that it's quite an expensive shop like health shops often are. Also, a lot of the beauty brands I can get at home and they work out much cheaper there. Still, this can't be helped. - Staff were really friendly and helpful. We were so pleased this shop was open late and offered such a huge selection of healthy snacks for us to choose from. Stomach rumbles averted. (For now!)

While at the stazione, we decided to skip all the other bars and come into this one for a quick…read morecornetto e cappuccino. It looked so amazing that we decided to walk in. We were immediately greeted and proceeded with our orders: 2 cappuccini e 2 cornetti. You have to know that I LOVE chocolate, especially Nutella, especially in Italy. What Italian doesn't love Nutella after all? So of course, my cornetto was a Nutella filled one, just like I specified to the kind girl working there. So I grab my cornetto alla "Nutella" or so I thought..and went to the counter to wait for my hot cappuccino. I emphasize on the hot since it was a FREEZING day. So that's what you'd expect lol, a HOT cappuccino. Welp...let's just say the only hot part in it was my coffee sitting in the bottom of the cup. As soon as I took a sip, the milk was cold!! I kindly mentioned to the barista the situation. He got a little bothered and with my same cup grabbed it and took it to the steamer (yes, same cup that I was just sipping on with the same drink in it) and passed it right back to me. It sure was warm this time, however, not creamy like you'd expect a delicious cappuccino to be...anyways, enough about that! So now, after being a little upset about the cappuccino, I decide to take a bite of my delicious cornetto with Nutella. One bite ::: mmm so soft and spongy ::: two bites ::: hey, where's the Nutella? ::: ::: gets to the chocolate part ::: and it was not Nutella. It was chocolate cream! And then you wonder why I have trust issues? I was deceived by ordering a Nutella cornetto and getting a chocolate cream instead. It's not the same! ::: face palm ::: Yep.. I've just overpaid my cappuccino and cornetto to only dislike both, equally. Bottom line: not a fan of this bar, it's not the best in the world. Just seems a bit overrated for me. You can skip this one and try the other 1,000 bars in Milano.

I think I lucked out with this place - was scared it was a tourist trap since right near the…read morestation, but I saw lots of native Italian speakers getting gelato, so thought ok, should be safe. And it was! Delicious pistachio (my go to) and then another flavor that I think was chestnuts? Am not sure? Anyway the bloke just really topped me up and it was a lot for the money and very gratefully and eagerly scarfed down! Plus they have great wifi - I will def return when next back in Milan!
