Review Summary

Café Milano remains a legendary Montreal spot known for its old school atmosphere, strong espresso and pastries, and solid Italian sandwiches and cannolis. The room feels like stepping back in time, and many return for the friendly service, late hours, and reasonable prices for the area, with a big terrace and a bustling tone when busy. Some reviews note the recent renovations have doubled the size and given a modern cafe vibe, while others miss the former coziness and quote thinner portions and occasional dryness in the chicken cutlet sandwich, with dressing and salt sometimes not meeting memory. Cleanliness is uneven according to some, and while the coffee and cannolis are praised, the full dining experience can be hampered by noise, wait times for tables, and occasional inconsistencies. Still, Café Milano is often cited as a dependable place for a sandwich, coffee, and a chat with friends, and many say it offers good value and a classic taste of Montreal.

Je ne pense pas que vous souhaitiez perdre votre temps & votre argent dans un café où le personnel ne respecte pas les clients. Il s'agit d'un café italien qui ne reflète ni le comportement des bons Italiens, ni leur respect envers les autres, ni leur culture.
Lors de ma visite en Italie, la nourriture était excellente, le café agréable & les gens très gentils. Or, dans ce café, c'est tout le contraire : la nourriture n'est pas bonne, le café non plus (froid ou brûlé), & il y a toujours quelqu'un qui vient vous déranger pour vous demander si vous avez terminé votre café, alors que vous venez à peine de vous installer.
En tout cas, je ne le recommande pas. Ne perdez pas votre temps & votre argent.

On peut boire un bon café Italien.
J'ai enlevé une petite étoile juste parce qu'il faut trop attendre pour avoir une place & le stationnement est très difficile 😉.
Je recommande.

Café Milano's is such a gem! This charming Italian café has the best subs ever-I've been coming here for years, & they never disappoint. I always tell my friends about it because everyone needs to try it at least once! This place is extra special to me because it's where my boyfriend & I had our first date. Since then, it's become my go-to spot, & I'm always excited to come back. The food is fresh & delicious, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the staff are so friendly. If you're looking for amazing Italian subs & a cozy spot to enjoy them, Café Milano's is the place to be. Highly recommend!

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.

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
