This charming cafe invites you to unwind in a cozy atmosphere while enjoying thoughtfully prepared dishes and expertly crafted coffee. If you're seeking a break from the bustling city, Shot Cafe offers a perfect blend of comfort and quality.

Shot Cafe prides itself on its excellent coffee, with many patrons raving about the espresso, which is said to rival some of the best in Milan. The cafe doesn’t just stop at beverages; their menu features a variety of savory snacks, including tasty brioche and mouthwatering toasts filled with ham and cheese that have garnered positive reviews for their flavor and freshness. Take, for instance, customers like Jason Hamilton, who was impressed by the freshness and flavor of his poke bowl during a quick lunch!

One truly unique offering at Shot Cafe is the complimentary “shot of water” that comes with your coffee—a thoughtful detail that showcases their commitment to excellent service. Ziva David, a satisfied customer, noted not just the quality of the food but also the lovely host who adds a personal touch to every visit. Each bite and sip at Shot Cafe is tantalizing, offering flavors that are as rich as the experiences you’ll partake in while in Milan.

However, not every review shines a positive light on every dish; Tessa Char did mention that some of the bowls could use a bit more seasoning. But overall, the positive feedback from loyal customers highlights the cafe as a great alternative to pricier hotel dining options, as Kelly Michaels pointed out with delight.

Conveniently located near the central station, Shot Cafe serves as a reliable spot to grab a quick breakfast or lunch before heading off to explore Milan's attractions. If you’re in the area, don't miss the opportunity to visit this charming establishment where both the coffee and service leave a lasting impression.

Service was good, everyone was friendly. Coffee wasn't bad. The bowls we got weren't very tasty though and a bit bland - looked better on the menu than they actually tasted.

Wonderful little Cafè. Great friendly service and excellent coffee. Sandwiches to go for the train ride were very good. Don’t pay the high prices at your nearby hotel, come here, it’s well worth it.

Friendly staff and great coffee. We got a shot of water with the coffee. The toast was tasty and the savory brioche was good too. We took one tea with the coffee too which was good too. No extra table charge.

I needed to grab a quick and healthy lunch and saw this place across from my hotel. First the guys working are incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu as I wanted a poke bowl to take away. Once back to my hotel I enjoyed what was a very fresh and flavorful bowl with fresh tuna crudo.I hope to return to this place again and would definitely recommend as the portion sizes are great as is the very reasonable price.

Located quite close to central station but surprisingly quiet. Coffee tastes better than all the other coffee I’ve had in Milan. Food was great and quick
