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.
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
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
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.
I found the food ok it was a little pricy for what it was ... the steak in the sun was really over cooked & too chewy for my liking the cappuccino was tasty but I was surprised it was in a glass & not a cup ... the nuggets & dipping sauce were ok ... the cannoli was big but it was all cream didn't find there was enough ricotta - & usually there would be little chocolate chips in the filling - not in this one - also they have a system where they call your name & bring the food out to you ... I was in the bathroom when they called me lol a little awkward all in all I'd say it was good - I'm picky, it was tasty but over priced for what you are getting in my opinion

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!
It is always a great experience & will go back any time. Only thing i wish they give a number when ordering instead of calling names becsuse it is loud & can't hear.
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.
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
As you enter - go to the cash register to place your order & pay, you'll give your name & that's when you can seat yourself - when all is ready, they will walk around calling your name unless it's an expresso order where you can also pick up at the bar. We had a great time, & our experience was extremely gratifying, having both the Steak & Milano sub (all dressed), fries, soft drinks, & cannoli. The espresso drinks looked awesome, & the barista was informative & took his craftsmanship pleasantly seriously. All in all, it was a very nice experience.
