This super traditional pastry shop in Milan is beloved by locals. If you walk by, you will certainly stop and look at its windows with the beautiful and delicious looking cakes and pies. Step inside and try some of its sandwiches, sip a cup of perfectly brewed fresh Italian coffee, taste the homemade bread and, of course, order sweets, cakes or cookies to finish your snack. The patiscceria has recently been acquired by the Prada group and we hope its quality and charms do not start to fade. You can find three shops in town, one at Monte Napoleone, another at Vittorio Emanuele II gallery, but we really love the very traditional and beautifully charming original shop at Santa Maria alla Porta (one block from Corso Magenta).
