L’ile douce In Milano

I had a brioche today, truly exquisite and delicious. The staff were very kind. Two brioches, a cream and a pain au chocolat, €4.70. A very fair price for the location, quality, and attention to detail. I'll be back.

I had a wonderful meal, both at breakfast and lunch! Their Croque Madame is so good it's outrageous, and so are their Madeleines! The staff is friendly and helpful. I'll be back! Highly recommended.

Every time we come, I'm amazed by the quality of their confections. Even the cappuccinos, lattes, and coffees are always expertly made. The price isn't high, obviously depending on the product. As you can see in this photo, the small brioche cost €2.50 and the large brioche €4 (it's bigger than your open hand and full of filling). The cappuccino is €1.80 (very fair prices). Every time we come, we get up without rushing, but after breakfast, no one asks us to get up because we see the line of people eager to try this wonderful breakfast or snack. Obviously, if you're thinking of sitting in a pastry shop like this for three hours, that's not the case; you can sit in one of those bars that nobody frequents.

I went for breakfast and they made me an excellent cappuccino. The dessert was also good. I was with my dog ​​and they were very kind to him too: they dedicated the cappuccino decoration to him... what an artist!

That cube with the chocolate brownie inside drove me crazy, an absurd pleasure and I think this review can end here too

My favorite place in Milan for breakfast. I've been back several times and have never been dissatisfied with the product. The pistachio nodo is my favorite; the pistachio cream is currently unbeatable on my list, with a simple but quality filling. The leavened pastry with the cream is also top-notch; the cream is delicious, but I assure you, it's superb on its own, too. We also had the Pain Suisse; the pastry was delicious and the filling was delicious! It's definitely a place to try at least once! As for drinks, they have absolutely everything, anything, and of course, they have several varieties of plant-based milk. The only downside is that the place is really small, so you eat side by side, and to get to your table you have to maneuver a bit to avoid hitting a stranger with his bag or scarf, or taking off his jacket! Things actually move relatively quickly outside, with takeaway having its own queue (be careful, as there is a limited number of brioches available separately, and they don't always last more than a couple of hours).

One of the best pastry shops in Milan

After eyeing this place for months, I recently finally got around to trying Ile Douce in the Isola area. Before commenting on the food, I wanted to point out how FANTASTIC the service was: the waiter, a blond guy whose name I unfortunately don't know, was extremely nice and truly kind, even offering us a panettone feast and cream to try! A truly wonderful treat! Moving on to desserts, the place offers a wide selection of traditional French and non-French products. I personally tried a plain cruffin (very fragrant, although I expected a little more butteriness) and a classic mini sbrisolona and a cocoa one, both truly delicious thanks to the chocolate blocks that were soft, like truffles. The gianduja and coffee panettone was also very popular for its softness, although I didn't think the coffee was too strong. Their custard, on the other hand, was a big surprise! Thick, with a strong vanilla flavor, I could eat it by the spoonful. Finally, a note about the bill: the prices aren't among the cheapest, but they're now pretty average for trendy Milanese venues. All in all, I'd happily go back!

Very good but you can't stand in line in the cold for breakfast.

The place is a bit small but very welcoming. The line moved quickly, and they even offered us a hot tea while we waited outside. Excellent breakfast.
