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.
This should be everyone go to place. It's affordable, the portion are big & the taste is amazing. Fresh coffee & awesome service. They have delicious pastries/ croissants which can be brought to parties & gatherings.

They need to hire a new barista, I ordered a cortado & what I got was an over extracted bitter espresso! I had to add sugar to make it palatable. Stick with the sugary coffee drinks here, not the place for coffee lovers. It's not that hard to dial in an espresso shot at the start of a shift.
Milano as always is amazing. Friendly atmosphere, incredible staff, great coffee, healthy natural tasty sandwiches, & tiramisus & cannolis to make you fall for it. I usually go to the Jarry street Milano, but this one is bigger with a cozy atmosphere & good management.
Finally a place on the West Island where you can go at any time of day for a light meal or a coffee. This place opens till 1:00am, & allows people to gather & eat or drink, with seating inside & a terrace outside. Great crispy chicken or sausage sandwiches (all-dressed), as well as delicious croissants & desserts. The coffees are fantastic & prices are readonable. Located in a mall on Brunswick, there's lots of free parking. Truly a West Island treasure.

Love this place the service & the food. Whether you're looking for a peaceful spot to work or a cozy place to unwind, this coffee shop has it all. Highly recommend!
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.
Omg what the heck, it’s so good. Whatever this is it’s super fresh & delicious I went back in & bought a second one with Nutella. Coffee is delicious too. I don’t even drink coffee & I’m impressed
