Review from Bijan V.
4/28/2012 1 Check-in Here
I came here for a great cappuccino but ended up having gelato on their patio (from my trip I learned that if you come across warm - sunny day in Vancouver you HAVE to take advantage in every way possible!).
The smell of the cafe and the great effort and care shown by the baristas make this one of the better cafe's I stepped into in Vancouver! They're serious about how they make their coffee even to the level of micro-foam on a cappuccino. Call me a coffee snob, but I appreciate it when a cafe takes this stuff seriously!
I'll be back next time I'm in town! -

Great Location. The baristas were funny and friendly. And to top it off the coffee was great.

Great people watching location. Gluten free cookies made from Quinoa go great with a Large 'Black Beauty', coffee that is =)

Milano is cute in the way a cafe is, super clean and the staff is friendly and quick with what you order.
If you get a chance to order the food, definitely suggest getting the savory sandwiches. Ooey gooey cheese, and it's toasted to perfection. -

A nice small coffee shop in a fairly quiet area of downtown when its not summer. Seating is limited inside and most people stay for awhile. A great place to bring a friend for a casual afternoon.

I have had the good coffee here on various occasions and the tall lady behind the counter is knowledgeable, providing very good service, paying attention to the details and catering to some very 'specific" coffee orders. The tasty- sounding sandwiches tempt me from the chalk board and I am sure they are good because they don't sit around all afternoon so I have yet to get one in time. It's great to see food
in a coffee place that isn't defrosted or wrapped in plastic and the sweets look well chosen. But the gelato...squisito! I had the vanilla latte last week and before I even finished it (it didn't melt too fast which is a good sign) I considered going back up to the lady and banging my tiny shovel on the counter, saying, "More ! or "Un altro!" It inspired a greed in me that makes me want to go back as soon as possible. The coconut and
chocolate cherry await. -

Very nice decor, simple,clean, and woody. The high top chairs are surprisingly comfortable than they look!
Many kinds of coffee here - pourover, stovetop (rarely offered in other places?) drip, you name it. I ordered a large latte but since it was close to closing time it came in a to-go cup. My latte was scrambled quickly, but came with a chewy foams of milk. Smooth overall, but I prefer a stronger cup. It's good that I went to Milano at night because I wouldn't want to drink a strong cuppa before going to bed.
Service was friendly but pretty slow.. It is surprisingly opened till 11pm, which is also rare for a cafe in Vancouver other than the Big Chains! That would call for an additional star because I am always in a search for somewhere to hide and rest even at night. -
Review from Crystal H.

With it's clean lines, soft and sweet coffee, Milano is a refreshing new little slice of the West End. With nothing more than a rainy Sunday afternoon and some quality time with a friend, I sipped on my Americano, marveled at the gelato (for next time) and wondered who the smartie was who spilled or sprinkled cinnamon nearby. It's a delicious smell!
Between the coffee brewing and the gelato case, the space is tight, with bar stools and one 4 top table in the small front area. But it's quiet and bright and has good coffee to boot. Add it to the list of new neighbourhood stomping grinds -- err I mean grounds. -

Great Coffee and Service! I don't normally like to yelp unless it's really good or really bad. We tried the medium roast single drip coffee. We tend to like our coffee with less acidity. The medium roast coffee had a very clean finish and sweet aftertaste. While we waited for the single drip, Greg gave us a sample of his tasty blueberry gelato and grapefruit tart gelato. I'm not a coffee lover, but I was able to down the 16 oz coffee with a little bit of help from my wife. Greg was kind enough to give us a sample of the award winning Italian blend conca d'oro espresso. After trying it, we had to buy a bag of milano's Italian blend coffee because it was that good.
My wife and I give it thumbs way up! Definitely would come back again especially if I come back to Vancouver. The only regret drinking that coffee and espresso is that I don't know when I'm going to fall asleep tonight. -

They recently opened, taking the space of what was once Mum's Gelato. I liked the aesthetics of the place, simple and fresh. Since it's my first visit to any Milano Coffee shops, I was wowed once I entered the shop. They have the most beautiful espresso maker I've ever seen, and it makes gorgeous tasting coffees. My friend and I also tried their Apple pastry and it was so good, not too sweet, perfect crust/base.
Next time I'm going back to try their gelato. I wonder if they make Affogato drinks... that would be perfect! -

I'm amending my previous 4 star rating. The coffee is THAT good. Perfect Americano.

I was really excited to see Milano open up close to home, especially as I was tiring of relying on Starbucks or, in desperation to pinch pennies, McDonalds, for coffee in the area. JJ Bean on Bute is just too far a trek on a lazy weekend morning. However, I was incredibly disappointed. The first time I ordered an American, the second time a mocha. Both times the coffee was weak and not too flavourful-I'm used to JJ Bean and Artigiano's giving you double shots of espresso in all their drinks. The Americano I ordered was a double, and while I can't remember the price (I went before they had a menu up) it was shockingly expensive for the quality. I'll be sticking to my home brew or making the trek up the hill to JJ Bean for a good tasting coffee in the future.

Two road-weary travelers, we were, cruising for a good cup of coffee and complimentary wi-fi so we could figure out the evening's adventure. While driving up congested Denman, we spied spanking new Milano Boutique Coffee Roasters -- the spaceship-like espresso machine gleaming from within the sleek café. After circling the block, we made our way to the airy establishment, only to be greeted by the warm and welcoming Kelly. We pounced on the opportunity to refuel with creamy gelato and restorative shots of locally roasted espresso, mmmmm. Happy accident, we could not have picked a more lovely stopping spot to reconnoiter, even without the aid of the Internet.

Bad service, combined with total lack of understanding of food safe standards. Shame, 'cause the coffee was Great. Will not return.
