Cafezal

The original 2018 storefront for what's since grown into a five-location Milan roastery group, Cafezal's Brera flagship pairs a sleek, contemporary room with an in-house roasting operation — the company roasts its own coffee, including a house 'Garibaldi Blend,' and sells both bagged beans and branded merchandise at the counter. Brera's gallery-and-boutique-dense streets make it one of Milan's more design-conscious neighborhoods, and Cafezal's presentation fits that register comfortably.

With locations now spread across the city under the same name, this Solferino address remains the one with the founding story attached to it, even as newer branches (including a 'Coffee Hub' concept) extend the brand elsewhere. Weekday mornings open early and the schedule holds fairly standard cafe hours through the weekend.
