I miss my life in Toronto . Then I would come here for the Jamaican patty. The barista is always kind & patient with the practice of my French. Very much appreciated.

My personal favourite is their cookie. I tried the chocolate chips, the pistachio, the white chocolate/matcha. After my run around the Jarry Park, one of these coffee is always a great reward.

I loved ordering pistachio Cannoli from this place. But 8.25 per unit on uber ?? I even had to call to make sure this wasn't a mistake. They're good, just not 8.25$ good…

Just a quick cappuccino & pistachio canoli after a visit to Bijouterie Italienne.

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!
