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.
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
My family & I were staying at the hotel across the street & we were so glad this place was close by. The chocolate croissant is delicious & their coffee is 10/10. I also tried the tiramisù & it was soooo good. It gets busy later in the day, but it didn't stop us from coming here twice a day during our stay.
Best place for a quick coffee grab or if you want to sit with your friends. Best thing that they have an extra seats available outdoor in summer so you can work on your computers or have a fresh tuna sandwich.
Great place, with delicious sandwiches, the bread is crispy, the vegetables were fresh, & the meat was nicely grilled. The drink selection is wide, & their summer special-coffee fusion was delicious.

I recently visited Café Milano & ordered a cappuccino & a Nutella lobster tail for takeaway. The coffee shop has a charming, old Italian style which adds to its appeal. The cappuccino was excellent, perfectly crafted. The Nutella lobster tail tasted good but was quite sweet. Service was relatively fast, making for an overall pleasant experience. There were lots of people & place was loud.
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?
I was taken her by coworkers & the sandwich was lovely. We walked from the seating area around to the coffee area & I saw a cockroach. I have actually never seen one in a restaurant before, it shocked me. It ran under a door. While the experience was nice with my coworkers, I would never return.

📍 Place: 4/5 🍽️ Food: 4/5 💸 Price: 5/5 🤵Service: 5/5 Very nice coffee spot , wasn't impressed with the vege sandwich but the desserts were pretty good. This place has potential.
We hired Cafe Milano to provide a coffee stand & a few desserts for our wedding. Frank was such a pleasure to work with, very responsive & adaptable to our needs. The coffee was amazing, the pastry was fresh, & they made sure that the delivery was well-timed to ensure that everything was fresh & delicious without even having to ask. Their set-up was beautiful & sleek & all of our guests raved about it. We would definitely recommend again & again!!!
