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.

I was a regular here during my semester abroad (it's right next to a university) mostly because of…read morethe superb coffee and pastries. No kidding, during the four months I spent in Milan I never found a cappuccino or caffè americano that was as consistently good as what I got at PD. As for the namesake paninis, the least I can say is you'll never get bored with the selection. The 50+ item panini menu ranges from plain-and-simple to exotic (even in the smaller, ready-made selections behind the counter), and while I didn't care for truffle oil, mashed eggplant, or walnuts in my sandwiches, there are some real gems in there (like #15). Bring a dictionary, though, because the sandwich descriptions are all in Italian. My favorite thing to do was start the day with a cappuccino and croissant with grape jam filling before the mid-morning rush--during which time it's almost too crowded to move--and come back to study in the afternoon. Solid wi-fi, plenty of seating, and great staff (have I mentioned the coffee?) made the minor nuisances bearable. I can only hope that they open their next branch back home in Texas.

I'm a huge fan of this cafe. It's close to the university in the area and great for students,…read moreespecially non-Italian speaking exchange students. The space and atmosphere is well decorated and great for both studying and working with groups, but quite small. The service is 10/10, friendly, fast yet noninvasive. The cappuccinos are a little pricier but consistently great with lovely pasties to go alongside them. It's one of the few places that have soymilk and matcha. I would go everyday before the library opened during midterms and finals. For lunch I've been pleased with all the paninis I've had from here, and a great selection for a Vegetarian such as myself. My friend liked the grain bowl she had as well. TL;DR: Great atmosphere, solid food, highly recommend

This review is coming in a bit late, but I didn't have a very pleasant experience at this shop. I…read moregot the worst possible table (near the toilet) as I went in alone. There were actually only a couple of sofas at the entrance, so I'm not sure why it's called "sofa" cafe. The cafe itself is so cramped, it could be organized better in my opinion. As I was sitting at my table, pretty much every person who came into the shop seemed to want to use the toilet, so the line was very long and I kept bumping into each person. As for the coffee and pastry I ordered, it was just about ok, nothing special. The service was also very slow. I wouldn't recommend this place especially if you're going in alone and want to spend some time working or to read a book.

Great location- along a bustling street full of other bars and restaurants…read more Cocktails were above average. I'm quite fussy with my drinks and I must admit they were pretty well made! Not the best in the world but certainly better than the average. I would highly recommend the Moscow Donkey for a warm summers day as it was very refreshing! The only thing I would mention is the service was pretty poor. It took us about 10-15minutes to get our orders taken, and then we had to wait at least another 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive. If you're not in any rush (like us) then it's perfectly fine, but I would imagine it being quite annoying if you had somewhere to be afterwards. Overall it was above average drinks, below average service and a great relaxed ambience.
