Damm A Trà Torrefazione Milanese

you're on via lario, a street in the northern stretch of milan that most tourists never reach, and that's exactly the point. this part of the 20159 postcode runs on a quieter frequency than the centro, the kind of neighborhood where a roastery can actually focus on what it's doing. damm a trà torrefazione milanese roasts on-site, which means what ends up in your cup started as green coffee somewhere in this building, not a warehouse on the other side of the city. regulars here are genuinely enthusiastic about the place, and that kind of loyalty in milan, where the bar culture is serious and opinions are sharper than anywhere, doesn't come cheap. go in the morning, before the street gets moving, and order an espresso.
