Review Summary

Reviews for Cafe Gentile consistently highlight a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, with many praising delicious food and good coffee; standout items mentioned include the STK wrap, linguine, a goat cheese steak sandwich, zeppoli, and a cappuccino, while some notes suggest the menu could be clearer on prices and that a grilled cheese could use sharper cheese and a cappuccino could use a stronger coffee flavor; the cafe feels like a home away from home, often busy but maintaining a warm energy, with several diners calling it among the best spots in Montreal for sandwiches and coffee, and a reminder that it is closed from July to August.

Sandwich & coffee with taxes & tips will bring you almost to 30$ but you'll be met with quality as to what an Italian espresso bar can offer.

I like the place for the vibe & the service. The food & coffee not so much. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that they were happy to customize (+++ service) - it was okay - basic - could be improved by using better cheese - something less processed.
I ordered a cappuccino & was a bit disappointed- i couldn't taste the coffee - i think the milk to coffee ratio could be improved.

That said- I appreciated the speedy service & the good vibes this place has to offer.

I love coming to this café - the atmosphere is warm, the service is always kind, & there's something special about the energy here.
The staff is respectful & welcoming, & you can tell it's a family-run place with heart.
It's become one of my favorite little stops lately - not just for the coffee. 😊
