    I rate this place 2 stars because I wanted to sit and read something while sipping my cappuccino and there were more than 8 available tables but they said that I cannot sit there because it's lunch. Hoped to spend time in great way but it wasn't. Didn't recommend.

    I’m used to going to Feltrinelli for studying or working. The wifi is usually good, with great food service in case you need a snack. Also, they have a great collection of books in English, in case you do not want to read something in Italian.

  • 3/5 Mikaela Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I rate it 3 stars because the view is splendid. I do not like the service,self service. Every time i go, i order a brioche with chocolate and a cappuccino: the brioche is more or less empty and costs 2 eu... expensive!! The cappuccino leaves me the taste of a burned coffee. So i rate it three stars just for the view!

    Perfect for aperitivo with something to eat. I was there Sep 2021, our waiter was very friendly, helpful and handsome to boot! The Piazza Aulenti is gorgeous with the fountain in the city.

    Waiters are too relaxed, and coffee is overpriced.

    Very nice atmosphere in a beautiful district 😌☕ Unfortunately they don't serve at the table.

    Nice place to take a coffee or for aperitivo! The library is fine, mostly the new books and the most popular ones. Cozy atmosphere :)

  • 5/5 Edward L. 9 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Lovely bookshop to have a cafe and relax with a read. Kind staff who were helpful despite how busy they were. Would recommend for all.

    They have 2 different open areas, and if you sit in the back open area, you have to go inside to place your order and pick your orders, however if you sit in the front yard or inside, the waiters will come to you. They have stupid roles with weird staff.

    The drinks, location and service were quite alright and they give some snacks with your drinks. We actually found an eaten olive pit in our chips!!! I can imagine they reuse the stuff instead of throwing it away but this is quite gross and unacceptable!!

  • 5/5 Marek C. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been there with friends only for a coffee which was fantastic. The atmosphere in the bookstore was very relaxed, nice music in the background. Recommended for a meeting or just to grab a quick bite.

  • 5/5 Maura P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for a quick bite or also for staying for longer. Food and coffee taste really good and they are quickly prepared. Price is right for what you get. The same business is also a library, so I suggest buying a book and relaxing in this nice cafe. A little busy in the morning before 10, but then it gets better. Toilets inside and free wifi. Vegan and vegetarian options available.

    It s nice cos u can seat outside but the quality of the products it s not that good

  • 5/5 Mahmoud H. 1 year ago on Google
    I have to say that they serve the best coffee and brioche that I have tried in all Milan. I am completely down for a coffee or a brioche (croissant) anytime in this place. Never miss it. You can come to it by the Garibaldi FS metro. The books are also very interesting though the collection is not that big especially English books.

  • 4/5 sydney isaiah l. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a good place to read while having. A cup of tea, coffee or cappuccino. But I'd prefer if they'd give a spoon with fresh orange juice rather than having to ask for one every time while I have my cappuccino + brioche in the meantime. A technicality but , I don't fancy orange juice mixed with coffee and milk, don't you think ?

  • 1/5 Mathieu B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there at 11:40am for a coffee. They were setting tables for lunch so they told me to move to another part of the patio that was for coffee. So I did. But then nobody came to take my order. So I left.

  • 4/5 Viktorija V. 2 years ago on Google
    I think its the only place in this square with not overpriced coffee. I took tiramisu and few mini cupcakes, was delicious!

  • 5/5 Mar 2 years ago on Google
    I liked the place, but it can be a little crowded at times since it's in the middle of a bookshop. Coffee stil 10/10 which is what ultimately counts for me....

  • 4/5 Maria L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place for aperitivo and coffee. Only problem is that the service is super super slow. Go there if you have enough time, it’s not the best place for quick breaks

  • 5/5 Fabrizio T. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very original place, breakfast in the library, really inspired. Efficient staff. Usual commercial but quality brioches, good coffee. Very recommended experience. (Original) Locale molto originale, colazione in libreria, davvero ispirate. Personale efficiente. Brioches solite commerciali ma di qualità, caffè buono. Esperienza molto consigliata.

    Service wasn't that great but the food and location were brilliant. Also, the prices were decent for milan

  • 5/5 Crystal Dating C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to meet friends. Relaxing atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Mariana E. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice food, made with fresh ingredients! I had the chicken salad and the leaves were crunchy, the chicken savoury and the Parmesan cheese delicious! The atmosphere is really nice, because as it is a bookstore you can have a coffee, a snack, a dessert or lunch surrounded by Italian contemporary literature! I recommend it for lunch, coffee or drinks if you are having a stroll near Bosco Verticale.

    Good place. Must try Cappuccino (1.3€)

  • 5/5 Luisa G. 5 years ago on Google

😐 Their sales reps need a little more training on inclusivity. In the whole building only MAC, Clinique, and Dolce & Gabbana sales reps approached us, offered assistance or acknowledged our existence. This assistance actually helped in my decision to buy....

👍👍 Nice place if you fancy buying expensive but very good quality of food. I had spaghetti pasta with mozzarella buffalo cheese. It was delicious but not the cheapest. The quality of food was good though. You could buy other food from there such as vegetables, fruits, cheese, wine, alcohol, meat, pasta...
