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.
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 :)
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.
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.
