Pasticceria Demetrio In Pavia

Too many highs and lows. Prices are too high, service is necessarily poor due to the lack of staff. A mini (but mini, barely 5 cm in diameter) sake costs 5 euros. So you expect it to at least be exceptionally good. No, dry, a thin layer of chocolate coating, no flavor. I don't want to be mocked like this. Too bad.

Had a lovely breakfast to go just a couple of minutes from the train station. Was literally blown by the variety of pastries on display. Ps. As they replenish the front desk you can get a glimpse of the laboratory where they prepare it all. Pps. If you have a knee problem/limited mobility have someone assist it's stairs all the way down.

I wanted to personally thank Pasticceria Demetrio and its manager, Francesca. They prepared the buffet for the inauguration of Atelier Blu Sposa's new location, and everything was truly impeccable. If you're looking for quality, variety, and availability, you've come to the right place! Thank you so much!

Very good pastry shop, I recommend their custard

Francesca helped us understand how and how much to choose for our wedding cake and the miniature seven-layer cakes for our party. We were supported and advised even when other pastry shops discouraged us from choosing them. Everything was handled professionally. The cake was delicious, and all the guests loved it and asked for more. (Personally, I even saved some for breakfast, because it was one of the best I've had in years. The chantilly cream and pastry cream were fantastic.) Thanks to Francesca and the entire team!

Excellent pastry shop on a corner of the train station plaza. Delicious pastries and good coffee. Excellent place to relax or wait for a train.

I went to Pasticceria Demetrio on Via Alessandro Cividì in Pavia: an excellent breakfast with a beautiful and delicious Danish pastry, accompanied by a properly made oat milk. Everything was perfect... until I asked for a simple glass of hot water. This is where a little comedy of errors began: first they didn't understand, then they thought it was tea, and finally I was served a glass of water "heated" with great feigned conviction, but served as fresh as if it had just come out of the fridge. The result: no benefit for what I needed, except a slight irony in the scene. The lady, it must be said, didn't charge me: a nice gesture, but the poor service remains. In any case, for the quality of the pastries and drinks, it's worth returning... perhaps without asking for hot water!

Since I've known Pavia, I've also been to Pasticceria Demetrio, but I've never been to one of its branches before. This one, attached to the train station, is accessed through a small door that leads down to a spacious basement. As soon as I entered, I was almost dazzled by the wide variety of pastries and desserts on the counter. I would have tried them all. If it were for the service alone, this experience would have deserved five stars, given that a staff that shows no signs of slowing down during rush hour, considering the location and all the people coming and going through the shop, is a credit to their professionalism. Considering that there were also people of questionable mental health, continuing to work with the same speed and kindness earns me nothing but high praise for those ladies. The croissants, however, unfortunately didn't completely convince me. The pastry was too buttery even for a croissant lover like me, bordering on sickening. I appreciate the generous amount of cream, but the pistachio one didn't taste like pistachio, except for a slight hint. The white chocolate, on the other hand, was quite convincing, even if I found it sugarier than the others. They're certainly not bad croissants, but I've definitely found better in the city. That said, the various desserts, both mini and individual, are very inspiring, so I'll gladly return for a snack someday.

just superb! stunning pastries, gorgeous coffee and a lovely friendly atmosphere, this is an absolute must!

We came here for breakfast, beautiful setting, a little hidden but a discovery, soft and full croissants, highly recommended
