Review Summary

Cafe Gentile draws praise for great coffee, delicious sandwiches, and fresh ingredients, with many noting an old school Italian neighborhood cafe vibe that feels welcoming and homey. Reviews highlight dairy-free milk options, homemade iced tea, Nutella desserts, and a variety of sandwiches such as a spicy Philly steak wrap or a chicken escalope with avocado as standout choices. The service is described as friendly and attentive, with a family-run feel and a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the cafe is often described as a Montreal staple that attracts locals and visitors alike even when busy. Some mention a seasonal closure, noting it is closed from July to August, but otherwise the place is seen as a reliable fix for Italian-inspired coffee, meals, and pastries.
