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.
The best coffee shop in Montréal. The atmosphere is amazing, food is just perfect, stuff is very caring. You read that right, not just nice: caring. I'm a regular now.
P'tit latté ce matin c'était un banger, le service est exceptionnel aussi. J'y retourne à midi pour tester les paninis j'vous tiens au jus la team mais je pense qu'on tient une pépite 💯 UPDATE : J'ai mangé le panini j'suis pas déçu bordeeeeeel ! Finalement c'est pas un panini classique c'est une sorte de focaccia là ça respire l'Italie (j'adore la Sicile) pour 10$ pas dégueu (ils sont toujours aussi sympas 4h après) 5💫 Abonnez-vous pour + de pépites (italiennes ou pas d'ailleurs j'adore pleins d'autres pays)

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.
