Reviews describe Aloe Café as a warm, family-run spot with homemade focaccia, fresh ingredients, and authentic Italian flavors that feel like a little slice of Italy in the West Island.

Overall, Aloe Café is seen as reliable, fresh, and worth returning to for quality Italian inspired comfort food.
Aloe Cafe has something for everyone, from sandwiches & salads to coffee & treats. I had one of the focaccia sandwich & it was bursting with fresh flavour. Kat, the owner, puts so much care into the food & service, you can truly taste the love in every bite!
I have been here more than 5 times & recently did my baby shower here.
The owners are so friendly & great at making the food & beverages, the place is cozy, the price is great, just everything is amazing.
My favorite is always to get a freshly baked homemade foccacia (depending on mood i'll take either prosciutto or smoked salmon), blister in the sun smoothie (no need to add sugar or maple syrup it's perfect the way it is), matcha latte & the absolute dessert is their coconut cake, everything else is good to but these are my top choices!
Definitely going to come here whenever I have the chance 💕

I stopped by this café & tried the'Better Together' sandwich along with a cappuccino, & it was absolutely fantastic! The sandwich was made on fresh focaccia bread that was very light & not heavy at all, which made it even more enjoyable. Inside, it had layers of turkey, avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, lettuce, & tomato - juicy, rich, & full of flavor. The cappuccino paired perfectly, smooth & well-balanced.
What made the visit even better was the service - the owner himself was very pleasant, & the order came out quickly. Overall, a great spot for both quality food & warm hospitality. Definitely a place I'll be returning to!
A fantastic restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere, friendly owners, a great selection of drinks, & of course amazing & delicious food!
I've been here many times & I absolutely love their homemade focaccia (so far the best I've ever had). Every time I visit, I try a new combination of dishes. Most recently, I tried the Sgt. Pepper Sandwich with a side of potatoes, a Mellow Yellow Smoothie, a Bitter Sweet Beet Salad & a slice of Queijada for dessert. All of which were delicious.
Overall, I'd have to say my fav sandwiches so far are the Big Sur & Carne Loca focaccia sandwiches.
If you are haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend going to Aloe Cafe.
Best sandwiches & salads! I've tried several items off the menu & everything is delicious. Love the music & great coffee too! Great option if you are looking for something healthy.
This establishment is truly amazing, & the staff is wonderful. The food & drinks are exceptionally fresh & pure. Everything was so delicious that I did not have the opportunity to take a photograph. This place is highly recommended.
Just had a great lunch feasting on focaccia style sandwiches… a very generous sandwich with lots of flavour & crunch . I also enjoyed a fresh & tasty beet salad … the chocolate cake was a perfect balance of sweetness & chocolate delight . & yes the coffee was great too !!

Absolutely delicious sandwiches! The rosemary foccacia they served it on was sooo tasty! Very fresh ingredients, friendly service & very cute decor. Looking forward to going back!
The sandwiches here are so fresh & delicious! I have never been one to eat sandwiches, even as a child I never took a single sandwich to school but I went here with some other people & decided to try one & wow! Now my mission is to try them all. The place is also super clean & the atmosphere is cozy. Sometimes it is empty, sometimes it is packed & you'll have to wait a bit, nothing too crazy though.
The focaccia was super tasty, the salad absolutely amazing, & the service was kind & welcoming. A lovely spot for a fresh, flavorful bite - highly recommend!
