The story
Tucked near the Catholic University on Corso Magenta, Panificio Baron Kelly is a bakery that, according to creator Franchino Er Criminale, offers “decent” focaccia but “disappointing” pastries that are “overpriced.” In his *Forni criminali* video, he highlights the Pizza Bianca con Mortadella and Sfoglia con Verdure as savory options, yet finds the broader pastry selection—including Brioche con Marmellata and Sfogliatella Napoletana—falling short.
The focaccia earns a nod as a quick, solid savory bite, but this is not a destination for sweet treats. Approach with tempered expectations: it’s a local spot that does the job for a no-fuss neighborhood stop, but one best visited only if you’re already nearby.

AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
“The focaccia looks good, but when I tear it, it doesn't flake. Compared to other focaccias from other bakeries, it's barely sufficient. If I ate it without knowing, I'd give it a 7 or 7.5, but I've eaten too many amazing things to give it a high score.”

Focaccia
The focaccia looks good, but when I tear it, it doesn't flake. Compared to other focaccias from other bakeries, it's barely sufficient. If I ate it without knowing, I'd give it a 7 or 7.5, but I've eaten too many amazing things to give it a high score.
Sfoglia con Verdure
This is cold, but I asked for it cold. It's a pretty flat product, just okay. Would I go back? No, I'm a bit undecided.
Brioche con Marmellata
This is from a lab. The jam is abundant but it's sugary, full of sugar, like from a big distributor — not fruit jam. The dough is raw, there's a raw piece. Not exciting at all.
Sfogliatella Napoletana
I've eaten much better, even here in Milan. This is just sufficient — a 6 or 6.5 at most.
