The story
Located on Corso Garibaldi, Debbis is a well-known fixture in the heart of Milan. Given its central location, the café attracts a steady stream of visitors looking for a quick stop while exploring the city.
However, the experience may not always live up to the prime real estate. Creator Bertra, who visited as part of a 24-hour breakfast tour, described the venue as a "touristy spot" that ultimately "under-delivers." While Bertra noted that the cannolo is decent, they found the broader selection of pastries to be both mediocre and overpriced. Whether you are stopping in for a cappuccino or a spritz, it is worth keeping these mixed reviews in mind before settling in at this busy Milanese café.

Debbi’s delivers a warm, unpretentious vibe, with the €9 Spritz earning singular praise as a refreshing, well-priced standout.
“For €9, this spritz is definitely not watered down — it's good. Maybe a bit too Aperol-heavy, but in my long aperitivo experience, I've had much worse. It's a solid spritz.”

Cannolo Siciliano con Ricotta e Nutella
The cannolo is filled fresh on the spot. The ricotta is very sweet, a bit adapted to tourist taste — not as sheepy and strong as in Palermo, but the shell is good, reminds me of the ones I had in Sicily. The Nutella on top is like a punch in the teeth, I wanted chocolate chips instead, but overall it's decent. For Milan, I've had way worse cannoli.
Spritz
For €9, this spritz is definitely not watered down — it's good. Maybe a bit too Aperol-heavy, but in my long aperitivo experience, I've had much worse. It's a solid spritz.
Cappuccino
It's a cappuccino. It's really hard to mess up a cappuccino. It's fine, nothing special.
