Café Milano in St-Leonard is a popular Italian bistro with café. The specialties are sandwiches (Salcicia/ Steak/Chicken), submarines, soups and salads. Open late for the late night diners and offers what many say is "the best Italian espresso".
Reviews describe Café Milano as a legendary and historic spot with an old school vibe and a reputation for great Italian sandwiches, cannolis, and espresso, plus strong value and a welcoming atmosphere that invites conversations and late night visits. The coffee and desserts are frequently praised, with several describing the café as a reliable place to meet up or grab a bite, and the sandwiches and cannolis often highlighted as standout items. The ambiance and a large terrace are noted positives, though some reviewers warn that the interior can be noisy or dim and that cleanliness needs attention, with one or two saying the place isn’t as fresh as in the past. Service is described as friendly and prompt at times, but other comments point to inconsistent experiences, long waits, or miscommunications during busy periods. Parking is occasionally mentioned as a challenge, but the overall sentiment remains affectionate, presenting Café Milano as a classic, comforting Italian cafe that draws visitors for coffee, paninis, and sweets despite the caveats.
The cheesecake tasted like it's been in the fridge for days & the cannoli shell tastes burnt with a lumpy cream filling. The hot chocolate was tiny & when I told the staff I ordered a large hot chocolate he looked annoyed & ignored me. The only saving grace is that giant chocolate chip cookie.
L'ambiance chaleureuse & conviviale est parfaite pour une pause-café ou un repas rapide. Leurs cafés sont excellents, toujours bien préparés. Mention spéciale aux pâtisseries italiennes, surtout les cannolis, qui sont à tomber! Le personnel est accueillant & le service rapide. Un vrai plaisir à chaque visite.
Price: 12$ for small ice coffee & 2 very delicious & good portion cannolis. I would go back just for cannolis. They call your name like in Starbucks. Menu attached august 2024

I've only ever had food delivered from this place so I can't speak for the service or atmosphere. However, their sandwiches are very good & filling. You can customize the ingredients you want. Prices are exorbitant though especially considering that no side dish is included with the sandwich. Also, I understand that it is a café, not a restaurant, but with that being said their menu is quite limited. Their coffee is definitely great. Their mini cannolis don't have much flavour so that was a disappointment. Maybe their regular cannolis are better?
CANNOLI!!! Tellement bons!! Prenez le sans même y penser 2 fois!Sandwich spécial Milano de mon conjoint incroyable! Mon sandwich saucisses : la viande pourrait être plus juteuse, mais le goût très bon.
Really not your average coffee shop, really crowded so a bit noisy(I felt), but overall great spot, hardworking staff, the service was quick, loved their coffee(specially mochaccino) & tried for the first time cannoli-> tasted amazing! I felt that the food(sandwiches) wasn't visually pleasing
