Pay a visit to Gelsomina, the airy Milan bakery that built a following on maritozzi. Bite into a cream-filled bun and linger over coffee in its bright dining room.

📖

Full description

Gelsomina is a fashionable bakery and café with a large, airy interior that has made it one of Milan's best-known breakfast stops, with thousands of reviews behind its rating. The maritozzi, soft buns filled with sweet cream, are the signature order, available plain or in flavoured versions.

Alongside the pastry counter it serves breakfast and lunch dishes, and it stays open through the day. Opinions on value vary, with some finding prices high for the food, but the setting and the buns keep it busy and well photographed.

Reviews

The place looked really pretty, however the food was rather disappointing (especially for its hight price, but that’s just Italy I guess..) it tasted alright, but me and my boyfriend both needed to use salt and pepper to give it at least a little bit of taste. The portions were also kinda small - again - especially…
