Pasticceria Balestrini In Lentate sul seveso

When it comes to the quality of their breakfast brioche, it's hard to find better in the area. It's worth noting that although the place is always crowded (it often gets crowded due to the high demand, even though the space is large), the prices are absolutely fair. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Excellent for everything... breakfast, cakes, pastries

Dear Pasticceria Balestrini team, I returned to you after a few months, drawn as always by your excellent quality, fair prices, and the courtesy of your staff—reasons that make you an unmissable destination. Unfortunately, however, I found an unpleasant surprise: the internal courtyard is littered with dangerous potholes and chasms. Entering by car or on foot requires constant attention to avoid accidents; for wheelchair users, it's simply impossible. You may recall that, some time ago, I reported the same problem at the courtyard entrance: you acted promptly and resolved everything. I ask myself, then, with a hint of amazement: why not intervene in this area too? It's a shame to let such negligence overshadow your many qualities. I'm sure you'll handle the situation with the same efficiency as before. I ask you this with the respect of a loyal customer, but also with the firmness of someone who doesn't want to see excellence ruined by avoidable details. Have a good day and see you soon – hopefully on more stable ground! Aloha, L.D.

The brioche was good, perhaps more beautiful than tasty, but still excellent quality. The price was average and excellent value: I paid €6.80 for three pastries. The wait was short and the staff were friendly.

Always full, but there's a reason

Truly amazing breakfasts with super-stuffed pastries and brioche buns in a wide variety of flavors. Three years after I discovered it, it hasn't skipped a beat. There must be a reason it's always packed. The quality of the products has remained unchanged over time. You can see and taste the passion of those who work and prepare those pastries and all those delicacies with love. Keep it up!!!

If you think weekends are for delicious breakfasts, you absolutely must stop by this pastry shop! The options are so many it's hard to choose, but we ended up opting for two Kinder brioches: the dough was soft and sweet, and the filling was rich; it was truly satisfying to eat them! The counter fills up (and empties) throughout the day. In fact, when we left, there were some brioches that weren't there initially, which definitely convinced us to return (several times) to try different flavors. The biscuit and pastry counter was also very inviting. On Saturday morning, the place was a bit crowded, but turnover is quite fast and the staff is efficient. Highly recommended!
