The Best Cafes in Porta Venezia, Milan

The Best Cafes in Porta Venezia, Milan

Porta Venezia is a favorite neighborhood of many Milanese and expats living in Milan. It has so much to offer: a bustling expat community, access to some incredible shopping on Corso Buenos Aires, and a bustling nightlife. It also is full of great spots to visit in the morning or afternoon to grab a coffee or a pastry. Here is my list of the best cafes in Porta Venezia, Milan

Table of Contents

  • Gelsomina
  • Pave
  • Orsonero
  • Egalite

Gelsomina

If you’re looking for a aesthetic spot for a coffee and a study break or an easy-breezy weekend, then you’ll like Gelsomina. The inside has plenty of seating and is bright, which makes it a great spot for smart-working or meeting up with friends.

Pave

One of my favorite spots in Porta Venezia is Pave. They are famous for serving year-round delicious panettone. They also offer a large selection of wrapped items which make great gifts or edible souvenirs.

Orsonero

If you’re craving a cold brew on a hot summer day, look no further than Orsonero. There is limited seating on the inside, so it is best to get here early if you’d like to eat and drink inside.

Egalite

Egalite is a French bakery serves up deliciously fresh-baked croissants, brioche, baguettes and more! You can sit outside on the terrace or there is plenty of seating inside.

Since we’re in the Motherland of good coffee and pastries (ahem, Italy), there are amazing cafes on every corner. That being said, this is just my personalized list of the best cafes in Porta Venezia.

I’m sharing videos about my 2 week Sardinia road trip and today we are exploring the Baunei Coast - home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!

We started the day renting a boat in Cala Gonone before immediately taking off to Cala Goloritzé and trying to beat the crowds! After a few hours of swimming we continued to make our way down the coastline. Between the bright blue water and the tall white cliffs it was a magical experience. 

Eventually we made our way back to @hotelsugologone where we had a romantic evening under the stars and in their garden. It was so good I forgot to film most of it 🙃

Let me clarify: According to Italian law, these se Let me clarify: According to Italian law, these sentences ARE justified. I guess I’m just curious if Italians vs Americans agree that the sentencing is fair or not. 

Yes, this can lead to a lot of “what if” scenarios…I guess I’m fortunate I’ve never come face to face with someone in my home OR assaulting me where I’ve felt the need to use force. 

I think even in the U.S. the laws can heavily vary depending on the state. 

What do you think??

☀️👙💕SARDINIA DAY 6: SU GOLOGONE🐚🐠🌀 I’m sharing de ☀️👙💕SARDINIA DAY 6: SU GOLOGONE🐚🐠🌀

I’m sharing detailed videos about how I spent a 2 weeks trip through Northern Sardinia. If you haven’t seen my other videos, check out what to do in Costa Smeralda (we spent 5 days there!). 

We changed up location and headed to @hotelsugologone. From start to finish we had an INCREDIBLE time here. Everywhere you turn there are pops of color and there is something to discover on the property. 

While today we soaked up the hotel vibes, tomorrow we are off on an exciting boating adventure - maybe seeing the world’s most beautiful beach? 🏝️
