Excellent pastry shop
Fast service, perhaps a little unsympathetic but professional.
Unfortunately, it's small, so you can't always find a seat.
Then it's often very crowded, but that's not their fault, but rather the loud chatter of the Brianza locals who sit around chatting over a coffee for an hour.

INTRODUCTION
Vimercate, Sunday morning. The sun is still low, and the mission is clear: breakfast at De Castillia, highly recommended by friends who said, "Trust me, it's amazing!"
PARKING
Small detail: finding parking in Vimercate is a bit like winning the lottery. But with a little luck and the timing on our side, we snagged a spot almost right in front of the entrance. Victory.
FIRST IMPRESSION: SWEET AND CARE-FUL
The pastry shop features a welcoming outdoor terrace and a cozy, yet unintentionally elegant, interior room. The windows are a visual temptation: spectacular cakes that look like jewels, brioches, and pastries of every shape.
One thing is already clear: there's passion, craftsmanship, and a lot of care behind this.
WHERE THE AROMA RULES
We enter and are greeted by the aroma of butter and coffee, a combination that immediately puts us in a good mood.
The counter, on the right, is a riot of sweet treats: puff pastries, swirls, classic and filled croissants. And for those with special dietary needs, lactose-free and gluten-free options are also available. A sign of thoughtfulness that's not a given, and much appreciated.
A GRACIOUS WELCOME
The service is quick but not rushed, with smiling and friendly staff. You feel welcomed, not just served. When, at the end of breakfast, they ask us how it went, we understand that kindness here isn't just a facade. It's part of the place's DNA.
"I'LL TAKE ANOTHER" BREAKFAST
We order two cappuccinos, a raisin swirl, and a brioche suisse with cream and chocolate chips. The cappuccino is perfect, thick and velvety.
The brioches? A small masterpiece of balance: light yet rich, fragrant, flavorful, and delicious without being cloying. The kind of deliciousness that makes you think, "Okay, I'll have another one... just for science, eh?"
RIGHT PRICE, HIGH PLEASURE
A fair price, in proportion to the quality. It's not just a breakfast; it's an experience that puts you at peace with the week.
CONCLUSION
Pasticceria De Castillia is a little gem in the heart of Vimercate: elegant yet familiar, delicious yet refined.
Five full stars, and the promise—this one, indeed, that we can keep—to return soon. Perhaps even to try the cake section, which still stares at us from the window like a whispered invitation.

Sono solita venire in questa splendida pasticceria per fare colazione, brioches fragranti e per tuti i gusti, personale sempre gentile e disponibile.
Ieri, per festeggiare i 18 anni di mia figlia, su nostra richiesta, mi hanno preparato una torta senza glutine di una bontà infinita.
Un sapore unico.
Semplicemente eccezionale!
