A must try if you're remotely near Little Italy or Jean-Talon.

The products they serve like coffees, espresso's & cappuccino's are above average. But I think the overall atmosphere really plays into your tasting experience.

It's a must stop whenever my friends are in town, a great place to start your day or mid morning.

Last time I tried the sandwich without any expectations & it was great. The bread is toasted giving it a hard toasted outside but until you bite into it you feel the fluffy flavourful dough. The ingredients they use are fresh & top notch quality. The sandwich is nothing crazy but its simplicity & ratio of ingredients make it one of my favourite sandwich's I've had.

Caffè Italia has that perfect Italian café vibe. The smell of roasted beans, the people, & the energy make it feel like a real slice of Italy in Montreal. It is the place to be if you want true Italian espresso & atmosphere.

They only serve coffee, & it is excellent. The espresso is rich & smooth, & everything tastes fresh. They also have really good panini. We tried the turkey & the mortadella, & both were delicious & well made.

A classic & authentic spot worth visiting if you want real Italian coffee & a simple but great bite in Little Italy.

Absolute the Best Coffee house outside of Europe. Everytime we visit Montreal this is a must stop for my wife & I. Such a great vibe at Caffe Italia. We just got back from Italy, Rome, Naples & Positano & this wonderful coffee shop could hold its own in any of those places. Besides the great coffees, they offer wonderful pastries & sandwiches. Their cannoli are simply amazing. Their croissants are also awesome. Try the Croissant Sarni.
But the coffees, oh the coffees are so amazing.
Can't wait to get back.

¡Qué rico el capuccino! Lo acompané de un cannoli.
Para turistas la zona quizá está un poco apartada, pero recomiendo encarecidamente venir a Little Italy para tener la pausa del café aquí, ver la bonita iglesia Notre-Dame-de-la-Defense y el animado Marché Jean-Talon.

The sandwiches were delicious! Our family from Italy were amazed by the coffee. They wanted to know what coffee you use?
