L’ile douce In Milano

One of the very rare places where you go not only for the crazy quality offered but also for the professionalism and attention to detail by all the guys who work there. There are proposals of all kinds, from the most classic cream and vanilla (really delicious, to try at least once!) to the more particular experiments (I just tried the one with blond chocolate, pistachio and lemon which was a truly unexpected WOW!) They also offer a super interesting and refined specialty coffee, if you love coffee you can't not try at least one. They have managed to create a little gem, a special environment where you feel pampered by the staff and the delicacies offered. WELL DONE.

Avevo voglia di consolarmi con un dessert dopo un pranzo un po' deludente in zona. Vedendo la vetrina invitante di questa pasticceria, la mia compagna ed io abbiamo deciso di entrare. I posti a sedere non sono molti, ma dopo un po' di attesa siamo riusciti ad accomodarci. Abbiamo optato per due monoporzioni accompagnate da un caffè. La tartelletta alla vaniglia si è rivelata discreta, per quanto non indimenticabile, molto più interessante invece il dolce speziato alla zucca, preparato con glassa a specchio, un cuore gelatinoso molto gradevole,caratterizzato da un perfetto bilanciamento di gusto (non troppo dolce, come piace a me) e consistenze. Quest'ultimo era perfetto anche al taglio e l'ho divorato veramente con piacere. L'atmosfera del locale purtroppo è un po' caotica, per via degli spazi non molto ampi, ma il personale di servizio è giovane e simpatico. Nel complesso è un locale sicuramente promosso e tornerei volentieri per provare altri prodotti.

We had a chocolate, a chai latte and a carrot, all good. A little cold service and a place full of tables

In the jungle of Milanese breakfasts, made up of the usual well-known names with kilometre-long queues, this little place makes room which in my opinion has nothing to envy of anyone... ON THE FACT! I found delicious puff pastries, particular and innovative combinations, and the crazy brownie. Good drinks too. Very fast service, there were at least 4 guys behind the counter and 4 waiters (even though it doesn't have many tables) and they were all very kind. Finally, very honest prices. Super approved, I'll be back!

Tried it with my wife, had breakfast and took away some croissants. Yes of course they were good but even this pastry shop for the price of each piece of briosc was dry due to the very little cream inside so they were slightly dry, good but dry. I'll leave you the shopping receipt and the 4 croissants taken away. The one with the mango and cream was a little more filling with the right proportion of pasta filling. The chocolate one was an absolute disappointment, it was very dry and cost 4 euros. The place is very narrow with tables pushed together, there is no suitable place for a relaxed breakfast. I don't know if I would go back partly because of the always difficult parking in that area and partly because of the price, for me it's not worth spending that amount in this specific case. I have no problems if something is good even for 5 euros a piece I give you but it must be worth it it must be something really special because for those prices you get a spiritual pampering for your palate. But if I pay you 4 euros a piece and then disappointment inside, you're cheap with the creams, it's a little annoying to me. Let it be a warning to the managers of constructive criticism, it doesn't cost you anything to crush the posch bag more when filling it, ok, charge the price you think is right but give a product that will make you come back and have a good memory. Here I leave you the photos of the briosc cut in half to show you the inside of the briosc and filling and the receipt.

Staff is welcoming and the tiramisu is made of decent quality mascarpone. Alas, there is not a whiff or trace of rum or marsala wine in the recipe and the texture is heavy (does not taste like tiramisu, it tastes like cheese with cocoa powder sprinkled on top). Seeing a modest size tiramisu in a plastic cup in L'ile Douce Milano costs 7 Euros and that this is around 40% more than what I pay for a similar size and better tiramisu in cafes in many and often nicer locations in other parts of Europe I don't quite understand the business plan.

Galette des rois not that good... A real problem of texture! it seems more an almond cake within a puff pastry than almond cream in a puff pastry! So disappointed and so expensive for what it is!

I have been to this pastry shop and, at first glance, the window appears tidy and the products are aesthetically very refined. However, the taste does not live up to the appearance: we could say that they are more beautiful than good. Prices are above average, while the coffee and cafeteria is decidedly below standards. My cappuccino was lukewarm. In all sincerity, I think that such a business would struggle to survive in France.

Rich breakfast, cappuccino as requested and done well, Pan Suisse cream and chocolate delicious and rich! Very kind guys!!!

Un pequeño lugar cerca de la estación de Garibaldi. Ofreciendo una amplia selección de pasteles y tortas, este es un lugar concurrido, sin embargo, nos sirvieron con sonrisas y nos dieron una mesa tan pronto como uno quedó vacante. También tuve el placer de probar un canele' que es una pastelería tradicional francesa. La calidad era buena, precio muy razonable, volveré a visitar.
