Cafe Gran Milan is one of the best bakeries and pizzerias and places to eat northern Italian sweet and savory specialties anywhere I know- including northern Italy! Rufo and team are extremely talented and passionate, and are genuinely friendly and welcoming and make you feel like family at home when you visit. Whether the tiramisu, pannetone, and many excellent fluffy pastries, or the pizzas, pannini, olive bread, and plain baguettes, you will be instantly transported to northern Italy in a sea of delicious food and passion in a very down to earth and unpretentious experience. I consider myself blessed to live in an area with such a place run by such people
I have been coming here for years. Always delicious and great service!! Today I saw the owner come out and give the garbage men a pizza. I commented that this was thoughtful, and he told me those guys work so hard and do such a good job that he wanted to show his appreciation to them. So refreshing to see kindness to kindness in these times.
The best and most authentic Cornetti I have had outside of Italy!! I like the "croissant ' with custard, with the chocolate filling in close second. the olive bread is delicious. they used to have a killer ham and cheese pastry, but haven 't seen thatin a while. highly recommend. it 's not the cosiest place though
Rufo, Annabelle and crew have a high level of knowing that a major pathway to the heart is through the stomach. Love is felt with every bite of every creation that emerges from the magical Gran Milan kitchen. Utmost Love and Gratitude for this East Bay culinary staple!

Some of the food is a bit salty for MY taste. Parking is always an issue. There are only a few indoor tables. The paces is a bit small. They give you chips when you order to go only. For the most part, they don't replenish the water cups.
Very nice little spot for a quick lunch, good food, clean place and quiet, I enjoyed my two visit and get to in peace enjoying my food without being rush.
Delicious italian style sandwiches, and pizzas, amazing pastries, fruit filled or creamy, good coffee, friendly people. A little hidden jewel!
A little pricey, but the bread is so delicious. All the breads and pastries I bought were crispy, sweet and fresh. My family loved it too.

Many fabulous choices, so get there early. Not cheap but worth it. Best coffee latte I've ever had anywhere, even Italy.
This place will take you to Milan, Italy. Everything is wonderful here.
