The croissant was fresh and flaky, and generously filled with a not-toosweet, yet flavorful apricot mixture. But my favorite of all of these was the bear claw, which had the most amazing almond paste filling that I’ve ever eaten! It was so good that I had to stop and savor each and every bite. This small, local business has rapidly established itself in West Contra Costa County and the surrounding areas. On top of their thriving in-store business, they also offer catering services. They are contracted frequently to cater for Chevron and kaiser Permanente lab, and they also bake rolls and other items for a few select stores and delicatessens. On weekdays, their busiest time is between 10 AM and 2 PM, but the business is steady throughout the day. On Friday mornings, they are very busy as customers come by to pick up treats to take to their jobs. Surprisingly, Saturdays tend to be their busiest days, even though many businesses around them are closed. With a small staff of only five in addition to Rufo and Ivo, Café Milan produces high quality Italian fare, making it seem effortless. It is clear that they all enjoy their work, and it is equally clear that their customers are happy to have them in the neighborhood. The service is awesome, the staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, the selections are many, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Once you enter Café Gran Milan, you’ll forget that you’re in an industrial area, and for a short time can experience the ambience of an Italian café right here at home. Maybe I’ll see you there sometime! Ciao for now! GRAND OPENING At Our New Location Los Cerros Mexican Grill BUy One entrée, Get 2nd1/2 OFF (Of equal or Lesser Value) One coupon per party.
