Cafe Milano
2522 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Café Milano is a beloved Berkeley study spot with a particularly cozy mezzanine level, reliable wifi, and a convenient location near UC Berkeley and transit lines that makes it ideal for both focused work sessions and casual meetings. While their pastry selection has seen some changes that longtime customers miss, the independent shop maintains a calm, unpretentious atmosphere that appeals to those looking to either unplug or quietly collaborate. Regulars appreciate the thoughtful space and are engaged enough to suggest improvements like enabling a rewards system on their ordering kiosk.”

When did they stop having cheese danishes? When did they stop giving tea in glasses when getting it for here? The croissants are terrible! They taste like every other factory bought croissant everywhere? Why can’t anyone make good food anymore?
Love the Kiosk! Can you pls enable the reward system on it? Just like Qargo Coffee I’ll buy more and invite my friends too
Great place to study and work, especially the mezzanine which is more cozy. There aren’t that many plugs
Place is really nice if you wana unplug and work. Not very loud so you could take meetings if you had a nice pair of headphones. Their coffee put me to sleep so some scope of improvement in bean selection..
A pleasant location at the intersection of transit lines and the south edge of the UC Berkeley campus. Cold and hot coffee drinks, reliable wifi, and a supply of pastries are the foundation. Ample seating on two floors make it worth the trip across town. This time I noticed Mexican hot chocolate and mocha so will be back for that!
