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 had an incredible experience at this café. The cappuccino was simply amazing-smooth with perfect consistency & a beautifully foamy top. The light dusting of chocolate was a nice touch that made it even better. The chocolate croissant was fresh & buttery, the perfect pairing with my coffee. I also loved the thoughtful gesture of being brought a glass of iced water alongside everything. One of the highlights was the unique & pleasant classical music playing inside. It really added to the cozy, relaxing atmosphere. Special shout-out to Alex, the nicest barista ever! Their service made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by!
Le service était excellent & le café également!! Par contre, j'ai pris un sandwich pour apportez & malheureusement il manquait la sauce (le pesto) & il y avait un cheveu dans le sandwich..

Merci monsieur pour la reco du chai latte, en effet pas trop sucré, il était excellent ! Nous avons pris à emporter mais les quelques minutes que nous avons passées sur place nous ont quand même marquées. Super équipe, belle ambiance, espace cosy ! Nous reviendrons 🙂
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
I have spent 2 weeks in Montreal & had an amazing time. Found this local italian cafe near my accommodation & fell in love with the coffee & peach croissants, ps. Alex, the barista is really nice ;)

Difficile à battre comme endroit chaleureux. Marco & Rocco tienne cette petite parcelle d'Italie sur Laurier. Le café & les en-cas sont à la hauteur de leur grande générosité. Je n'ai jamais passé un mauvais moment à Novanta. Allez-y, vous verrez !
Great space to meet with friends or read 🙂↕️ The service was A++ & created such a comforting atmosphere, I could've stayed all day! They made a really good chai latte, perfect temp & not too sweet. No soy milk but they had oat! I want to go back & try the food, it looked & smelt amazing

Merci au gentil monsieur qui a renvoyé ma femme à Ottawa avec 3 Canolis à la pistache. Elle n'avait que des choses fantastiques à dire sur votre cuisine & votre service. Elle a même dit que la focaccia était meilleure que celles que nous avions mangées lors de notre lune de miel en Italie. Cet acte de gentillesse vous a certainement valu une cliente à vie.
