    It’s good to see that Milani is still serving customers at the same location and in the same style. This is an air conditioned cafe in the heart of Apia city; there’s lots of yummy menu items and the food/drinks are presented well, served fresh and taste great.

    Ordered a cake from this place with 3 weeks notice for my mums 60th birthday. We confirmed with her day before, and she assured us the cake would be ready. Then we call the day of to confirm again, and she tells us the cake won’t be ready, pick up the next day. Now we have to find a last minute cake for the birthday party. She refused to give a refund when we asked to cancel our request as she had now supposedly already made the cake the day after. No discount offered either for the inconvenience. With your level of incompetence and unprofessional customer service standards, you don’t deserve to own a business license in Samoa!

    Milani Caffe is centrally located in Apia and after my first visit I have been back again and again, it has become a bit of an addiction. The pineapple & coconut cake is amazing and has become my go to with a coconut milkshake on the side. The service is amazing and the air con provides refuge from the heat of the day. I was fortunate to meet the owner Giovanni Rossi who creates an amazing atmosphere to eat and relax in. If you are visiting Samoa or live here then get down and check it. Thank you for great food and see you again soon.

    Great little spot in Apia. Sister restaurant to Paddles. Both are great. Fast attentive service. Good selection of items and perfect spot to watch the comings and goings of life in Apia. Coffee was great if too and no trouble with getting soy milk.

    Wow! I didn't know the Paddlers and Cafe Milani belongs to the same Ohana. We stopped there last week for for a cup of Koko Samoa and a glass of milk. I requested to the waiter if we can change the TV channel to cartoon so my niece can watch. They honor our request without a question. Ah! make sense now to me that these are the people with Top Notch SERVICES in all of Samoa. Services is what most business in Samoa are lack of including those big fancy name brand hotels. I bet you if you train all those business in Samoa about SERVICES their customers will come back like you do. Mahalo Nui Loa for your top notch S-E-R-V--I-C-E.

    Woke up late and had brunch between the 4 of us. Bao buns was moist and juicy,pancakes were airy and fluffy but the highlight was the pasta and the soursop drink. Highly recommend coming here and has been our go to for a few years each time we travel back to Samoa

    We found parking at the front on the main road and walked 100m. Food was great and fair pricing. The staff and their customer service are welcoming and very attentive. Always clearing our table of items no longer used, asking if we needed anything else. Air-conditioning available in cafe. Lovely little place to chill☺️.

    Stopped here on a recommendation of some locals I befriended and I'm really happy I did. I had a really good sandwich which was much larger than I expected! Didn't try the coffee but they had fresh coconut, still in the shell. :)

    Stopped here for breakfast before heading out for the day. Ordered a few smoothies and I got the coconut oatmeal and my siblings ordered their breakfast plates as well. The oatmeal was delicious. Perfect healthy start to the day. Service was attentive and very friendly. I can see why this place is popular with locals and tourists

    This place was amazing. My wife and I wanted to try a local Cafe during our vacation in Samoa from the US, in December of 2022, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint us! Drinks were really good and so was the food. I really recommend this place to anyone that's visiting Samoa. Faafetai tele lava Milani Cafe. Thank you for the delicious food, sweets and service!

    Stopped in on a very warm day, as per usual for Apia and the aircon was welcoming. Lovely staff, coffee was splendid, smoothie was the best, and the lemon cake tart was just uplifting. Hoping to go one more time before leaving Samoa ☺️. Highly recommend.
