Dear friends, if you love almond croissants as much as I do, I have compiled a list of places in Milan where you can find them.
Adolfo Stefanelli. A pleasant place for breakfast without the crowds. Come in, sit at a table, and within 2 minutes, your coffee and croissant will be served. Plus, they have a good selection of teas.
Princi. I recommend the one on Via Speronari, and well, also the one on Via Ponte Vetero is not bad. The cleanliness of the other locations is not great. Make sure to arrive before 10:00 am as almond croissants tend to sell out quickly, although their classic croissants are also excellent. The queue is long, but don’t let it stop you – it moves very fast.
Égalité at Porta Venezia: It’s a nice cafe, but gets quite crowded, so avoid going on weekends if you don’t want to wait for 20 minutes. I found it quite messy. It’s perfect for takeaway pastries, and good news – they bake enough almond croissants to satisfy everyone. The coffee has a tangy taste, and soy milk tends to curdle in it, which is definitely a downside.
Trendy patisserie Marlà in the Porta Romana area. It may not look extraordinary from the outside, except for its modern design, but on weekends, there’s usually a massive queue at the entrance.
Please feel free to add more places in the comments if you know any!
P.S. I’m already happy for you in advance because I remember my struggles with these almond croissants. They were a symbol of my personal “migrant” crisis.
