I was at the Montreal Open for a few days. This is easily the best cafe'. When I say best I mean in cafe's anywhere. I met the owner who gave me one pound of coffee she had roasted in Italy & has sent to her cafe' direct. Their pastries bread & sandwiches are authentic real Italian!!!! I've had it in Italy & I found it in Montreal. The staff are super nice & friendly as are the patrons. When I'm in Montreal this is my place! 100 percent!!!!

Popped in here to meet some friends for coffee & it was delightful! Ended up making a whole lunch out of it. The coffee was rich & dark, properly Italian! My panino was delicious & the matcha shortbread is to die for. I had a bite of my friends' tiramisu & it was excellent. The cannoli was also super. The barista was warm & friendly, joyous even!
It's a tiny little spot & it's a gem!

There are so many reasons for giving this high rating to such a special neighbourhood cafe which punches well above its weight. It's also to give a huge high five for building such an amazing summer terrace spot to chill, fuel up & watch sports (I came several times for UEFA Euro Cup games which was quite social & enjoyable) including the Olympics which is a real treat while sipping a notably excellent cold coffee chilled over night, & available in decaf no less. Also available with non-dairy milks or even lactose free which I discovered while chatting with James - one of their smooth operating baristas. He also helped me select the perfect sweet pairing from a plethora of dangerously enticing treats from several rows of glass jars. The one I ended up choosing (between it & a mean looking frosted lemon cookie) was what I would describe fully as a Quattro Stagione biscotti-style cookie bar or simply put omg not-your-typical-watch-your-dental-work-crunchy-one; topped with vanilla, chocolate, pistachio crumbles, & sliced toasted almonds. Quick shout out to Meabh (pronounced Mave) for her skills in assisting/ coordinating my order. Shifting gears back to their unique & accessible large corner terrace which has many nice nooks & benches to sit - plus one section is naturally shaded by a tall maple tree. Several large screens are placed strategically around to create various viewing angles. The crowd is a mix of locals & families, plus those who have heard through the grapevine that Cafe Vito is worthy of a trip from other parts of Montreal & even further afar. All this combines to create a fabulous neighbourly vibe which ebbs & flows throughout the day - allowing for plenty of people & dog watching - all of whom seem to be quite content spooning cafe cremas or gelatos in their mouths, licking soft serve ice cream, slurping slushes/ smoothies or a combination of both with an Affogato. Regarding the savory side of things they have plenty on offer to fill that craving including breakfast & bagel sandwiches, wraps, Nathan's hot dogs, grilled cheeses or those on ciabatta bread including veggie options. I almost forgot to mention their handy street-side order window for those on-the-go, with carriages or dogs in tow. Family owned & operated this cafe checks all of the important boxes for a go-to Italian cafe that isn't by default located in the Mile End or Little Italy par example. Keep up the good work. Oh, indeed their latte is spot on! Grazie & va bene!
