Cafe Milano offers a warm, bustling cafe experience with a strong focus on coffee, pastries and Italian sandwiches. The menu features a range from chicken and tuna sandwiches to large Italian sausage and beef options, with vegetarian and vegan choices, plus a variety of desserts including cannoli, pistachio ice cream and a Ferrero Rocher cake. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, with friendly staff and generally quick service, though it can get crowded and a bit loud and parking can be challenging. Quality is praised for fresh bread, well prepared produce and tasty coffee, and the staff across locations are noted for friendliness, even though some visits report inconsistent service. It's a good spot to relax with a coffee, work or catch up with friends, with standout pastries and cannoli and the Milano special frequently highlighted, and it is open late for those who want to drop in after hours.
Didn't try the food so no stars but the rest is good. Cold coffee & lattee just as good as the original in st Leonard. But the st Leonard location is the best.
C'est un endroit agréable pour prendre des cafés ou des boissons mais pas vraiment pour manger car les plats ne sont pas très savoureux. En revanche les cafés ou les boissons sont délicieux. De manière générale le personnel est souriant & accueillant. Cependant comme le café est souvent très fréquenté il peut être un peu difficile de trouver une place de plus il serait bien que les toilettes soient vérifiées & nettoyées plus régulièrement…

When we talk about customer service, I think that's exactly what Frank at Café Milano Laval is all about.
Outstanding service, welcoming atmosphere, & always attentive to customers. Add to that the excellent food, & it's easy to recommend Café Milano without hesitation.
A big thank you to Frank & the entire team for the great experience every time.
Bianca served me, a absolute sweetheart! She recommended a sandwich that was amazing, I can't remember the name but I guess if you meet her ask her for her order 😙 10/10 service, 10/10 sandwich !
Also for students outlets at the tables with the benches would be so nice!!!
We all know the food & beverages here are far superior to most. Everything is consistently on point & delicious.
But where this place truly stands out is the service. In such a fast-paced environment, they somehow manage to make every single client feel special, important, & genuinely heard. It never feels rushed, even when they're clearly busy.
They treat you with the utmost respect every single time, & that says everything.
If 6 out of 5 were an option, they'd get it without hesitation.
Le meilleur café à Montréal! We love this place!! Faudrait juste arranger le stationnement, il n'y a jamais, c tout le temps pacté, mais le resto est INCROYABLE!
Honnêtement, cet endroit semble tenir debout juste grâce à son emplacement. J'y suis allé avec ma famille, mais l'expérience n'était vraiment pas bonne. Les employés sont désintéressés & pressés. En plus, les tables n'étaient pas assez propres. À ce niveau de prix, on s'attend à un bien meilleur service. Globalement, je n'ai pas été satisfait.
Le café était vraiment ordinaire, rien de spécial. L'endroit était bondé pis les tables n'étaient pas très propres. La préparation de la commande a aussi pris plus de temps que je m'attendais. Les prix étaient élevés pour ce genre d'expérience. Je m'attendais à mieux. Honnêtement, je pense pas y retourner. Ça a été une déception pour moi.
Wow, je viens de Blainville pour y étudier, c'est bon (délicieux même) & c'est vraiment branché! J'ai mis mes airpods pour étudier en sirotant ma petite Peroni! Moi & mon ami on avait une présentation orale à remettre le lendemain, on a travaillé jusqu'à minuit & l'ambiance à l'intérieure était toujours aussi animée & vivante! On aurait dit qu'il était 20h dans un petit resto, mais non, la vibe est juste intuable. Service aux tables en plus!

Certains endroits servent de la nourriture. D'autres servent les gens. Ici, on fait les deux-& de façon exceptionnelle.
Some places serve food. Others serve people. This place does both-& does it exceptionally well.
I've now been to Cafe Milano twice in the same week-once for lunch & once for dinner-& I can honestly say this place is something special.
The atmosphere is vibrant & full of life. It's always packed, but never feels chaotic. If you're willing to wait a few minutes, you'll find a seat-& it's absolutely worth it. There's a real sense of community here, with people from all walks of life simply enjoying being there.
The food & coffee are excellent across the board.
The coffee is perfectly done. The sandwiches are fresh & thoughtfully prepared-fresh buns, high-quality meats, crisp vegetables, & small details like pickles & a drizzle of oil or sauce that bring everything together. I had a zeppole (ricotta pastry), & it was delicious.
Even the poutine-while not traditional (grated mozzarella instead of curds)-was very well executed: perfectly cooked fries, rich & balanced gravy, & great overall flavor.
What truly sets this place apart is the service & culture.
You can tell right away-these people love what they do. The team is attentive, kind, & incredibly efficient. They take your name & somehow find you in a full room, which is impressive on its own.
As someone who doesn't speak French, I appreciated how welcoming & patient everyone was. Every interaction made me feel comfortable & taken care of.
Also worth noting: despite how busy it is, the place is consistently clean & well maintained. Tables are constantly being wiped, floors are kept in good condition, & the whole operation runs with focus & excellence.
I genuinely wish we had something like this in Calgary-I'll miss it.
To the entire team: thank you. You are doing something special here. Keep going with that same passion, care, & commitment.
Merci beaucoup pour votre accueil chaleureux & votre service exceptionnel. Votre passion se ressent dans chaque détail-continuez ainsi !
