Forget the croissant. In Giussano, the 'Lemon Poppy Bun' is rewriting the rules of breakfast ✨
📍 Finally, in Giussano, there's a pastry shop that's quietly raising the bar for breakfast in Brianza. The ambiance is modern and refined, but it's the substance that counts. And here, it wins big!
👍 The presentation is textbook design: designer black cups, slate plates that showcase the real jewels in the crown: the leavened pastries.
We tried two specialties that alone were worth the trip:
🌟 Lemon Poppy Bun (€3.50, perhaps a bit pricey): Calling it a brioche is an understatement. It's a creation. A sort of flaky, ball-shaped braid, crunchy and sprinkled with poppy seeds (which I'd never tasted before), hiding a creamy, vibrant lemon cheesecake core. A masterful balance. It's the kind of product that, after tasting it, makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
🥐 Cream Cruffin (€2.50, also perhaps a little pricey): Even the more "classic" cream cruffin is executed with impeccable technique. Well-defined layers of pastry and a top-quality custard.
☕ All accompanied by two Classic Cappuccinos (€1.80 each, guess what? Also perhaps a little pricey), dense (almost how I like it) and served at the perfect temperature, demonstrating how the attention to detail extends even to the bases. Having requested a very light one, I must admit that it was one of the few bars that managed to serve me a well-balanced cappuccino without overdoing it with the coffee.
✅ Veteran's tip: Don't think twice. Order the "Lemon Poppy Bun" by name and surname! 😁 Be prepared to spend a bit, but after all, at least once, and considering the caliber of this breakfast, it's worth it!
Verdict: La Petite Pasticceria is a place to mark in your diary. It represents the evolution of breakfast pastries: bold, precise, unforgettable. An experience, not just a coffee. Top marks. 💯

Wide selection of Swiss pastry brioches. Unfortunately, at 10 a.m. on Sundays, half of them are sold out or already reserved by regular customers.

Amazing puff pastry, wide selection and refined flavors. French breakfast to try, places inside and outside.

Great Cinnamon BUN, good soy cappuccino. Good cookie but a little too stringy towards the end, tasty at the beginning but too loaded with fillings on top on a cookie that is already buttery. Price a little high on the cookie, fair for the rest. Must try.

Very good puff pastries, both pain au chocolat and pain Suisse. I didn't give the fifth star only because of the cost of the cappuccino, which in my opinion is a bit high. The environment is well-kept and I recommend arriving quite early in the morning to have a seat and a greater variety in the choice.

The price paid reflects the high quality and portions of their products, every month a series of new and themed puff pastries.
Highly recommended!

This is my second review of this place.
Whoever says that prices are high should go to have breakfast in Chinese bars, or to the shopping center, to eat frozen food......
The quality of the proposal is indisputable.
I took 2 croissants and a takeaway cake (all individually packaged!!) and a juice. Total 15 euros.
High? Yes Is it worth it? Absolutely yes.

Entrare in questo bar è come fare un salto a Parigi: atmosfera elegante, profumo di burro e caffè, musica francese in sottofondo. La colazione è un vero incanto: croissant fragranti e leggeri, pain au chocolat da manuale, e una selezione di marmellate artigianali da accompagnare a pane caldo e burroso.
Il cappuccino è cremoso al punto giusto, ma se volete sentirvi davvero in Francia, ordinate un café au lait: vi sembrerà di essere seduti in un bistrot del Marais. Il personale è gentile, attento e sempre sorridente. Un posto dove iniziare la giornata con stile, gusto e un pizzico di charme francese. Consigliatissimo!
