Review Summary

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.

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.

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.

Wow! Superb! The owner & staff are wonderful. We couldn't decide what cannoli to order & the owner came over with both cut in half for us to share. To top it off they were delicious. Highly recommend the pistachio cannoli. Will definitely be returning
