Welcome to the Coffee Wonderland!
Forget your standard latte and enter Milan’s Starbucks Reserve Roastery. This is a fully realized coffee castle rather than your typical coffee shop! Stately and rather beautiful, it is housed in a historic building on Piazza Cordusio. Imagine towering ceilings, elegant furniture, and the seductive scent of just roasted coffee beans filling the air. Instagram bliss, really. 📸
Why this Starbucks Roastery is extra special?
This is more than just a location to get a caffeine fix and leave. Here’s the reason you should include it in your Milan trip schedule:
Ever seen coffee beans roasted inside a massive copper barrel? It’s amazing! Actually, you can see the whole process happen; and the scent? Ignore all of this! You should bottle it and carry it home.
Coffee That Will Blow Your Mind: They have anything from traditional espresso to almost edible works of art based on coffee. I promise you, your taste receptors will reward you. They even have unique coffee mixes not found anywhere else!
Arriviamo Bar: Alright, perhaps you need something somewhat stronger than coffee. No judgment! Head upstairs to the Arriviamo Bar for some quite elegant cocktails. It’s the ideal way to relax after a tough day of sightseeing (and buying, let’s be realistic). More fun fact: The Milan Roastery is the first Starbucks location to feature the Arriviamo Bar.
Things You Actually Want as Souvenirs

Why should you Pay this place a visit?
