What a gem in MK! To be honest I googled “mozzarella panini” and Gino’s establishment was the top result… and so glad it was! He had such a fantastic menu for vegetarians we pretty much ordered all the lunch options. Jacket potato was scrumptious and panini was soft inside and perfect on the out. You’ll see in the photos his Italian collection of biscuits is great. The Baiochhi pastry’s were a favourite! Would highly recommend visiting this amazing cafe when visiting MK. I’d go back just for his brilliant cappuccinos See you soon! :)

When my daughter asked "what's your new gym like" I said "the food is amazing". The coffee is perfect (been there a few times now) and the paninis are superb - Gino knows how to season! Thouroughly recommend.

Stumbled upon this little gem by accident. A really nice welcome and quick service, Lovely coffee and and a Croissant. Looks a great selection in the salad/sandwich display but only called for a coffee. Will definitely have to find time to call in again

Absolutely fantastic! First time here. Came based on a strong recommendation and it was a hit. This place is a real deal, the food is so authentic and so genuine and tasty including the coffee. The owner Gino and his staff are very accommodating and they make you feel right at home. I will definitely come back again.

great little café inside Woughton leisure center. I normally have coffee and snack or panini while waiting for a child swimming lesson. Gino's special and Aunt's special paninis are the best. Owner is a nice guy to chat with.
