Coffee Studio 7Gr - Corso Venezia

the espresso here is the reason to come, full stop. corso venezia runs through one of milan's more composed stretches, all 19th-century facades and considered pace, and coffee studio 7gr fits that register without trying to announce itself. what you get is specialty coffee taken seriously, which in milan means it has to hold its own against a city with deeply held opinions about what espresso should be. it does. regulars here tend to be loyal in the way people get loyal to a place that doesn't let them down. if you're arriving from the giardini pubblici side, there's no better reason to break the walk than a well-pulled shot on corso venezia, 31, mid-morning, before the day gets complicated.
