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".
Cafe Milano draws mixed impressions from patrons, with many praising the coffee, croissants and pastries, cannoli, and a range of Italian fast food options including vegan and Beyond Meat choices. The desserts and Nutella pastries are highlighted as standout treats, and the vibe is described as warm and welcoming. Seating and service can feel crowded and chaotic on busy days, with some visits noting long waits and a counter order system that leaves diners searching for help. A few experiences mention issues like burnt onion rings or less satisfying coffee drinks, including a latte served in an unconventional cup. Despite sporadic drawbacks, the location remains a popular West Island spot for reliable coffee, tasty subs, and a broad selection of desserts that many see as worth returning for.
Great little cafe. Very friendly guy at the cash. Would choose to go there with friends over the popular commercial chain cafes any day !! The waiter Paolo is very nice & always offers the best service ! Sadly, the place has changed since last year. The A-Rabs have taken over. Loud, dirty & entitled. They come in at 10PM with their 5 kids (young kids) & act like animals.
Great café, this was the first time & won't be the last. The atmosphere was really nice, the decors & most of all their food & coffee ☕️ had the special Milano poutine with steak, pretty good for it's price, portion wasn't that big though. Had one of the best café Moka I'd say my top 3 in my whole life. It was pretty strong coffee & chocolatey flavors punching on my face & it had balanced out sweetness. Cute heart on top of the Moka was a plus. Also had the cheesecake with a hint of lemon, it was actually really good with the coffee & also an Nutella pastry which was going well with the Moka. Prices are reasonable overall only downside was the portion of the poutine, but quality was there, the steak on top were amazing. Thank you café Milano. PS: It's awesome that after buying you give out your name & while they are preparing your order, you can just sit anywhere & they call out your name to give your order to your table. Pretty nice.

Café Milano always have the best coffees, this time I tried the mochaccino & it was delicious! The chicken salad is also very good, overall nice food & nice staff, I highly recommend !
Popular West Island cafe with delicious sandwiches, snacks, desserts, & of course coffees. Great spot for couples, groups, or solo to relax & read. Services was top notch.
Nick the cook is the best. He was super kind, took care of our order & gave us the best subs we've ever had at Café Milano. Great Service 👍 He needs a raise
I had the opportunity tonight to order a small meal from Cafe Milano & I was not disappointed. I ordered the steak sandwich which was full of flavor. I also had a portion of French fries. Now let me tell you something.. the fries are crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. They were Amazing! Next time I will be going there & trying the Steak Salad. Very pleased with my choices tonight. Great food!

Super café italien, les cafés sont d'excellente qualité, les amateurs du café trouveront leur bonheur. Les pâtisseries proposées sont délicieuses & les cannoli sont à NE PAS RATER. L'établissement reste ouvert tard puis assez fréquenté & donc parfois il y a pas mal de bruit.
Went there for a quick lunch had a crispy chicken salad. The chicken was flavorful, but the salad left much to be desired, trace amount of red onion & tomato to be found & uninspiring vinaigrette. It's beautiful little café that offers a table service after ordering at the counter the staff is super friendly I have to go back to try if they're sandwiches or if they're pastries to give a but it's a nice place. Will update once I go back.

Was really disappointed with the service yesterday. I won’t say that they were rude, but they were most definitely not happy to take our order. We said hello, didn’t even get one back. Then, we were absolutely stunned by the iced coffee... We were expecting a small, not a mini at the price. I’m not leaving this review to stir people away from the cafe but hopefully so these things are addressed. A hello would be nice.
✨ The perfect slice of Italian-Montreal culture is found at Café Milano West Island! The coffee is on point, & it truly captures the essence of both worlds. The ambiance is warm & inviting, making it an ideal spot to savor your favorite brew. Apricot croissants are a nice treat . Sandwiches are a favourite as well.
Bonne place pour de bons sandwiches italiens & cafés !
Leurs choix sont multiples & les condiments qui accompagnent savoureux & bien épicés.
Ne pas oublier de prendre un bomba, version italienne du cronut.
Plafonds hauts, alors assez bruyant pour converser. Terrasse devant isolée du parking.
Service courtois & efficace.
