Gran Milan
5327 Jacuzzi St, Richmond, CA
Crema's Take
“Hidden among Richmond's industrial spaces, Gran Milan is an authentic Italian bakery and café where the owner-chef's craftsmanship shines through in every espresso and pastry, especially their celebrated sfogliatella and morning bun sandwiches that keep regulars coming back stunned by the quality. The warm, welcoming staff and thoughtful execution of both traditional drinks and hearty panino combos make this feel like a genuine Italian corner tucked away in the Bay Area. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a slow afternoon, the phenomenal baked goods and flavorful food elevate what could be a routine coffee run into something genuinely special.”

This place is phenomenal I mean absolutely phenomenal. I have never tasted a pastry so good in my life. Do yourself a favor and get over here.
Random days are the best. I was driving outside my usual confines to do a bit of donating. While on my drive, I noticed a white pickup mirroring my moves. Eventually, I let them draw alongside. The driver was one of you 💕 he threw out a 🤙🏻. I was overjoyed and threw out a ✌️🤙🏽. Found myself at Cafe Gran Milan and man oh man. This place, hidden from everyone, was packed to the rafters. A long line out the door and not a single unhappy patron. I met a man and his partner who regaled me with tales of places as good as this. The man runs a bar called Toot’s. If anyone partakes, say hi. The owner, staff and everyone who comes through these doors seem to be the happiest people on Earth. I left satisfied wishing I’d found this place years ago.
Phenomenal! I’ve been many times and every time I bite into something from here I’m stunned. This time I got the soup+panino combo, both were truly excellent. Flavorful, hearty, fresh, everything is baked to be crunchy and soft where it needs to be. What a gem!
The best hidden Italian bakery in the Bay! I’ve been looking for authentic sfogliatella after a recent trip to Italy, and was so happy to find this spot. The staff is so kind and the pastries bring you back to Italia!
Hidden in the middle of the commercial and industrial office spaces, Gran Milan is a pleasant find. Italian Owner and Chef translates to excellent Coffee, Baked Goods, the Morning Bun Sandwiches, Paninis and Pizza! They bake everything in-house, make sure to try the Olive Bread sticks among other deliciousos! Simply, good food, good people, good service.
