Overall, Café Novanta is described as a warm, welcoming, family-run Italian cafe in Montreal where friendly service and a cozy vibe shine. The menu is praised for fresh, authentic Italian fare and pastries, especially the pistachio croissant, cappuccino, and espresso, with pizzas, paninis and desserts also getting a thumbs up. The atmosphere feels like home, making it a great spot to work, meet friends, or simply enjoy a relaxed coffee break, and the shop offers a range of Italian products on site. While espresso quality is noted as sometimes not meeting expectations, the overall experience is viewed as high quality coffee, delicious food, and a charming, genuine hospitality. Regulars keep returning for the warm staff and consistent goodness across the menu.

Mon nouveau café préféré à Montréal ! Honnêtement, c'est le meilleur service client que j'ai eu à ce jour dans un café & l'ambiance est top, je recommande.
The owner was quite rude during our service. As tourists visiting we wanted to try the best local coffee & bagels together. It is understandable if they did not want to allow outside food, but making this clear upfront when we ordered would have been helpful so I could order to go. Inside it looks like any other coffee shop that allows this.
Once this misunderstanding was identified the worker seemed to be in fear of the owner finding out. I understood why when the owner approached & asked me if I had a problem with him. I would recommend take out if you end up here.

I ordered an Americano & a pistachio croissant.
The staff were very friendly, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming.
Both the croissant & the coffee were absolutely delicious.
I'd definitely come back again.
Excellent. We've been coming to Montreal for 20 years & always try little hole-in-the-wall cafes & restaurants & this ended up being a great choice. We had pizza & a panini. The pizza was excellent with very fresh ingredients & great crust. The panini was excellent as well. The service was awesome as well. We will definitely be back.
