Cafezal

Milan


There’s a new micro-roastery cafe on the block and it’s bringing third-wave coffee culture to Milan in a big way. Forget your classic Italian espresso (although it’s also on the menu; €1.20 to €4.80) and go for drip coffee or cold brew (€4 to €5.50) using speciality beans toasted on-site. As to be expected it’s pricier than your average bar.
