We found this cafe in Mile-End while on vacation in Montreal. In the morning we ordered 2 caffe lattes (one oat, the other dairy) which were so rich & delicious. The food looked & smelled delicious, like my Nonna's kitchen in Brooklyn! But sadly we had lunch reservations elsewhere. As we were leaving we struck up a conversation with the baristas who were warm & kind. After exploring Mile-End for a couple of hours we were hungry & thirsty & knew we had to come back to Cafe Novanta! We returned & order more coffee & dessert (tiramisu & the pignoli lemon custard cake) which were delicious! Again as we left we couldn't help but strike up a conversation with the baristas (who remembered us)! They told us more about their cafe, all of the homemade foods & desserts, & some recommendations for what to do if we come back to visit Montreal. They were courteous, funny, & warm.
