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 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.
This place is the spot in the West Island. I am so happy that they opened here as they brought life to the plaza. The coffee, pastries & food is amazing & fresh. It's a great place to stop by for a drink or a coffee. Read a book or to talk to your friends, people study here, meet for dates, & everything goes. The staff is very friendly & there is plenty of seating. Everything is priced very reasonable & there is something on the menu for everyone.

The coffee was delicious. The only suggestion I would give would be to change the tv program. Watching shirtless people fighting each other (wrestling) while trying to enjoy a cup of coffee was not a fun/peaceful experience!! Adding a little music would also be great.
I am not from Montreal but wanted to grab a quick, preferably healthy breakfast before a meeting. The place had a big line up & as I looked at the menu I could not see eggs or anything similar. It seemed it was more coffee & pastries. Now the coffee & the pastry I had was pretty decent. I would say that this place is good to grab a coffee while you have a conversation with someone. I would not consider this a breakfast place.
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 !

I stand by that Milanos makes the best coffee in Montreal. Whether it be an iced coffee with slush ice or a latte, their beans are the best!! Highly recommend.
Nice bar service great coffee & dessert. What I found unpleasant was on a Saturday morning before 9 tbat the bathrooms were not cleaned & garbage overflowing.
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.
Nice coffee & ambience. Free parking. But always busy & not easy to find a seat, which actually tells you how nice the place is. You can take your friends or even your laptop or a book & you'll have a nice time
Nice Italian type coffee shop in Montreal West Island. Great place for a delicious coffee of your choice with an Italian pastry. They also have side dishes, sandwiches & some alcoholic drinks. There also a small terrace available but not sure if they extend it to the parking lot in the summer. Plenty of room inside though.
Decent coffee shop, a nice vibe, & pretty popular. There are still enough seats for every customer. There is a separate section for studying, where everyone is on their laptop & more silent, the rest of the seats are for families, friends who are meeting up & eating lunch/brunch together. Pretty chill vibe, & the food was okay (not that special, but not bad). Coffee wasn't to my taste, but I'm not the biggest coffee drinker, so take that into consideration. My friend & I ordered a cannoli & a blueberry cheesecake. They were pretty decent, nothing out of the ordinary. Same for the service: ordinary. The atmosphere is quite nice, a averagely
Coffee is tasty, service is pleasant. They serve you your order at your table. Spacious coffee shop with lots of tables, most of the time busy. Not a calm place to work.
I love this place & was so excited that it opened in the west! The atmosphere is very nice although it gets SO LOUD because it gets so busy. I love their coffee in general & dessert & sandwiches (I've tried most of them, the chicken is my fav). There is internet & plugs so I like to go for a little lunch/work session :)
