Maicol - Croissant Pane Pasticceria
Torino TO
Created by pastry chef Maicol Vitellozzi, Maicol is a contemporary pastry boutique in Turin celebrated for its creative laminated viennoiserie. Standout offerings include the custard-filled cube croissant (Crubik 2.0 / Kubrik), the Pain Suisse Dark, and the rum baba and coffee-infused Pianeta Torino. The shop operates strictly as a takeaway-only spot with no coffee or cappuccino service available.
Audience reactions are mixed and somewhat skeptical, with several debates over high pricing, excessive social media hype, and pastry authenticity compared to classic French bakes. Commenters frequently complain about the inconvenience of the shop offering no beverage or coffee service, and many engage in ongoing arguments regarding who originally invented the signature croissant cube.
- Try signature laminated creations like the custard-filled cube croissant (Crubik 2.0) and Pain Suisse Dark
- Sample the Pianeta Torino, layered with mascarpone, coffee, and rum baba
- Pick up coffee elsewhere, as this venue serves zero beverages or cappuccinos
- Expect a takeaway-only counter setup rather than a sit-down cafe experience
- Be prepared for premium boutique pricing driven by high social media hype
