Review Summary

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.

'Le café & les desserts étaient excellents. Globalement, c'est un établissement avec un très bon rapport qualité-prix. Un peu plus loin, il y a un stationnement gratuit, ce qui est une vraie chance dans une ville comme Montréal où le stationnement est un problème.'

Staple neighbourhood café with excellent Italian coffee, desserts & sandwiches. Good for a quick bite or sit down with friends. I like both this location & their Laval location. It gets pretty busy & loud though.

Accoglienza calorosissima come la si può trovare solo in posti italiani. Veramente tanta tanta cortesia e gentilezza. Il cibo è buonissimo, lai sandwich alle insalate e ai dessert. Sia i proprietari che il personale sono davvero amichevoli e sanno sempre mettere a proprio agio i clienti. Consigliatissimo. A wonderfully warm welcome, the kind you can only find in Italian places. So much courtesy & kindness. The food is excellent, from sandwiches to salads & desserts. Both the owners & the staff are truly friendly & always make customers feel at ease. Highly recommended.

Very loud little restaurant. Steak sandwich was tasty, though contained very little steak. Staff need to ask if want peppers on top as the chicken sandwich was too spicy for son. Desserts look delicious. Reasonably priced.

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!!!

I live for this place lol
They are open late & have a pretty simple but good menu.

The service is amazing the staff is very attentive & welcoming.
Always greet customers with a smile not ONE bad thing to say.

The food is very good. They serve salads, subs, desserts & coffees.

I always stick to the same thing it's a winner for me
The chicken salad is the best very fresh iceberg salad mixed with a balsamic dressing.

The cannolis are the best I've had anywhere like I have not found one place where they have better cannolis !!

Hot chocolate is very good as well

All around have never been disappointed there !!

Recommend to everyone
