Visitor comments

  • "The cappuccino at Biffi's was pure perfection. Their pastries look fabulous and the brioche was delicious too. There is always a reason a place endures the test of time and this is a true classic in Milano." - Trip Advisor
  • "Came here completely by chance on a Sunday morning on the way to the metro after visiting the Last Supper. What a find!! Magnificent patisserie. For the British traveller, the novelty element alone is enough of a wow factor. We certainly don't have any equivalent institution in the UK. The architecture and decoration resembled a stately home and the coffee and the cakes and the chocolates were magnificent. Certainly worth a visit" - Trip Advisor
  • "Wonderful Italian coffee served by a friendly waiter dressed in a suit who took care to see that we had the right cakes from an extensive collection behind a counter. Lovely setting with chandeliers and an old fashioned atmosphere" - Trip Advisor
