Currently solo traveling throughout Montreal & I loved this spot. I decided to stray away from my itinerary & try this cafe out & I am so glad I did.
Upon walking in, the team (Marco & Rocco) were immediately so welcoming & kind, I felt comfortable right away.
I ordered the pistachio donut & matcha latte w/ almond milk & I'd recommend both. The donut was delicious with the perfect amount of pistachio filling & just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha was also really good.
The atmosphere is chill & cozy, & it's such a good third space whether you're coming alone or with friends. The cafe feels family owned!
Highly recommend.

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.
Je viens de découvrir ce magnifique cafe avec une vibe italienne très chaleureuse, le service est rapide le tiramisu est trop bon l'accueil très agréable . Vous allez adore
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.
Mon review est seulement sur le café. Cortado beaucoup trop chaud (!). Au point de se brûler la langue. Aussi, j'aurais préféré un lait d'au minimum 3,25 %. Service sympathique par contre, sinon ça serait 1/2 étoiles & non 3 pour moi.

I had the pistachio affogato at Novanta Café & it was absolutely delicious! The creamy gelato paired perfectly with the espresso, & the pistachio flavor added a delightful touch. A must-try for anyone who loves a refined coffee experience.
Endroit très chaleureux. Proprietaire & employés très sympathique. L'offre de nourriture est varié & le café est bon. Ce n'est pas du 3e vague acide. Le banc extérieur est super pour mes eschions.
This is my favorite cafe in the city. They have fresh baked goods & delicious sandwiches everyday & the best coffee ☕ I've been able to find. I go as often as possible & would recommend it to anyone. It's run by two brothers & their mother from Italy & they have a small staff who are all very nice & the place is very clean & well managed. I have several dietary restrictions & they're very attentive about it. I've never had a bad experience & I look forward to many more visits.
