C House Café Milano: Italian Tradition and Design Meet Global Ambition

Introduction

C House Café Milano is more than a café. It is a symbol of Italian sophistication, where design, flavor, and social experience come together to create something truly special. Originating in Milan, a city synonymous with style and innovation, the brand has grown into a global name that celebrates the Italian way of life through its coffee, food, and warm hospitality.

A Heritage Rooted in Milan’s Coffee Culture

The story of C House Café Milano begins with founders Alberto Poli and Cristiano Iezzi, whose shared vision brought to life a brand that blends authentic Italian coffee heritage with modern hospitality. The Poli family has been part of Milan’s coffee industry since 1962, sourcing, roasting, and distributing gourmet coffee both in Italy and internationally.

This long-standing expertise in coffee craftsmanship became the foundation for C House Café Milano’s success. What started as a local concept has now expanded to over 50 locations across 6 countries, becoming a global ambassador of Italian café culture.

The C House Experience

Each C House Café Milano outlet reflects the brand’s distinctive approach to Italian living. The experience is designed to flow seamlessly from morning to night:

• CH Bakery Café welcomes guests with the aroma of freshly baked pastries and rich espresso.
• CH Lounge Café transitions into a social space for Mediterranean meals, aperitifs, and signature cocktails.
• CH Express offers an authentic Italian coffee-to-go experience in elegant kiosks and corner setups, perfect for high-traffic locations.

Every element of the C House design has been carefully curated under the creative direction of architect Andrea Langhi, whose aesthetic vision captures the warmth and sophistication of contemporary Italy.

Tradition and Innovation in Every Cup

At its heart, C House Café Milano continues the family’s commitment to quality and innovation. The brand roasts its own coffee, bakes its pastries in-house, and continually refreshes its menu with new seasonal products such as premium desserts, open-face sandwiches, and salads. This balance between tradition and modern taste keeps C House Café Milano relevant and distinctive in an increasingly competitive café market.

Global Expansion with Gulf Franchise Group

In partnership with Gulf Franchise Group (GFG), C House Café Milano is now poised to expand across the GCC and wider MENA region. This collaboration brings together GFG’s regional expertise and C House’s proven international business model.
