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 praise for delicious food, standout cannoli and pastries, and excellent coffee, with many noting friendly, attentive service and a warm, lively atmosphere. The menu offers a wide variety, including vegetarian and vegan options, and the cafe is described as a reliable spot for friends, family or work. While some visits are busy and noisy and the service can feel chaotic at peak times, many diners commend quick seating, helpful staff, and the option of table service in some cases. Highlights include lattes, cappuccinos, cortados and delicious cannoli, with several reviews praising zeppole and fresh pastries. A few critiques mention inconsistent coffee quality, occasional long waits, and dishes that do not meet expectations, such as a simple salad or overcooked fried items. Overall Cafe Milano is viewed as a popular West Island cafe with strong desserts and coffee, and the energy, variety and flavor are frequently noted, though a minority point to busy crowds and room for improvement in service flow and consistency.
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 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.

Honestly love this place & its energy. Definitely in my weekly rotation & a great place to meet with friends or colleagues. Sandwiches & caffe fredo are a vibe.
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!
Excellent food, super nice people! I have been to this location several times everything is super especially the cannolis, & the sandwiches LOL generous portion of freeze can be shared with two people. You got to try this place if you hadn't another little hidden West Island gem

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 :)
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.

Best desserts & latte EVER! A little noisy when it's busy but small price to pay! Their salads are quite good too, not a fan of the fried Mac & cheese nuggets- I don't find that worth it & mine was dry inside. Fresh tasting sandwiches. All around great!!
Super busy on a Friday lunch. One veal sandwich, one tuna, fries, cappuccino & americano. The fries are excellent. The veal sandwich very good. The tuna sandwich was ok. You order at the counter & then servers come to the dining area calling out your name. Fast service. Nice & efficient staff. Definitely a good place to meet up with a friend for lunch.
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.
✨ 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.
