Coffee shop in Milan
A taste experience
Inside the historic 17th-century Cascina San Giovanni in Milan, a café exudes the colors and scents of Puglia. A place where time slows, coffee is carefully brewed, and morning light filters through the antique wooden beams. Osteria San Giovanni is more than just a restaurant, but also a space dedicated to daily coffee rituals, including Italian breakfasts, traditional desserts, and relaxing breaks reminiscent of the South.
Every detail, from the colorful ceramics to the scents of almonds and citrus, contributes to creating an authentic and understated atmosphere, where taste meets memory. The Osteria San Giovanni café was born from the desire to bring the colors of Puglia to Milan, reinterpreting them with contemporary elegance.
Here, coffee isn't just a drink, but a shared ritual: from the classic espresso to the "Leccese" version, prepared with ice and almond milk. Sweet treats are available throughout the day: tarts with artisanal jams, freshly baked pasticciotti, wine-flavored biscuits, and almond cakes.
The simple, bright atmosphere retains the rustic feel of the farmhouse: natural wood, stone walls, and warm lighting create an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. Our garden restaurant in Milan adds an additional space for relaxation and conviviality, perfect for those who want to enjoy coffee or desserts outdoors, surrounded by greenery and tranquility.
Coffee, breakfasts and flavours
Selection of Italian blends
Every day, the café offers a selection of Italian blends and specialties inspired by the Apulian coffee tradition. This makes even breakfast a moment of discovery: alongside classic cappuccinos and croissants, you'll find traditional pastries made with simple, wholesome ingredients.
The aroma of freshly ground coffee mingles with the aroma of baked pastries, creating a multisensory experience that evokes the slow pace of life in Southern Italian villages. Throughout the day, the café transforms into a gathering space: a place to read, work, or simply savor time, accompanied by an espresso or a Mediterranean herbal tea.
The culture of coffee
The elegance of simplicity
Osteria San Giovanni interprets coffee culture with a minimalist and authentic vision. There's no excess or artifice, but a profound attention to everyday gestures: the sound of the espresso machine, the smell of toasted bread, the delicacy of a homemade dessert. Everything is designed to convey calm, beauty, and harmony, in keeping with the establishment's philosophy: reconnecting with authentic flavors and moments of tranquility, rediscovering the pleasure of simple gestures.
The raw materials come from select Italian producers, with a special focus on small artisanal roasters in the South. Each cup tells a story of local tradition, hard work, and passion, just like the dishes that showcase authentic Apulian cuisine in Milan, where tradition and quality meet for an authentic and memorable experience.
