It's a great place to sit and chat with your friends. As a matcha lover, I got the matcha latte here. Warning, they use a premade matcha latte powder. Nothing wrong with that, but I prefer the traditional way. Would definitely come back to enjoy the ambiance/seating and just stick with their fresh squeezed orange juice.

I got a small latte and it was burnt to the point where my friend next to me mentioned that the latte smelled slightly burnt without mentioning anything.

Great coffee and food, and great location close to campus with nice tables to sit and study at. Owner and staff were very kind as well.

Saw the shooting thing and sympathizing with people. Food is a pathetic 1 out of 5 anyway. Large space and most staff are nice when there are no active shooters roaming around the campus.

Not confirming or making accusations, but would love if yall investigate the claims alleging that a member of the staff kicked someone out during an active shooter event.

Don’t go there, they don’t care about your safety. Kicked out students while a shooting nearby was happening and they pleaded to stay as they didn’t know if it was safe to go out but dude said he didn’t care and kicked them out.

I have not been here. But, someone I know went there with friends and then that shooting happened yesterday night and a male staff member kicked them out…they begged and pleaded to stay inside, but couldn’t? :(She even said that he told them “I don’t care you need to leave now!!”I’m not sure if she’ll post their more firsthand account review at some point—I cannot imagine having to process this. But that is extremely scary, traumatizing, and disheartening that that happened—it could have been so much worse and someone needed to say something about it.Places I have worked at have discussed if a shooting happens we lock up the store and shelter in place with the customers too so I didn’t think this was a possibility?Please please please have a better plan in place than that. Or make everyone staff wise aware of the plan you do have in place.

this review has nothing to do with the food, but about the fact that during the shooting at a near by college, there were students inside this cafe who pleaded with the people in this cafe to let them stay inside because they didn't know if it was safe to leave (due to the literal shooter on their campus) and guess what they did? they kicked them out... literally forced them to leave the cafe while they were fearing for their own safety and the safety of others, Milano if you delete my review i will come back and make 10 times more.. this is pathetic and unacceptable
Not cool kicking people out during an active shooting!!

The service is horrible. They don't care about their local customers. Find a better study spot because they won't treat you with humanity.

Staff kicked students out in midst of an active shooter event not even halfway down the street. Disgusting lack of regard for human life. I'm a Cal alum who frequented Cafe Milano for its proximity to campus. I regret every penny I spent on your lackluster drinks. Your staff doesn't just need training on how to make a Mocha Bianca, your staff needs training on how to be decent human beings. Your bathroom is busted, your wifi never works, you have like -3 outlets, you always have flies and fruit flies in clouds on the 1st floor.
