Italians, Senegalese, French, Iranians, Cubans, Algerians, Bolivians, all true, hard-core Montrealers will tell you that coffee here is excellent,a thousand times better than Starbucks, not a drop of pretentiousness & often a discrete elegance that only time & tradition can create. Their prosciutto & fromage sandwich, with all its marinated vegetables will make you feel that you are Sophia Loren or Marcelo Mastroianni in a secret visit to Montreal.

Quel bel endroit pour faire une pause. Je suis passé récemment & j'ai vraiment apprécié l'ambiance authentique qui règne ici.

Le sandwich était délicieux avec son pain croustillant & ses ingrédients frais, mais le clou du spectacle a été le café. La tasse porte fièrement l'inscription Caffe Italia 1956 & la présentation était parfaite.

Je suis reparti comblé par la qualité de ce que j'ai goûté. C'est une adresse incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience simple & savoureuse sur Saint-Laurent.

Definitely a spot worth trying. Their cappuccino was very good. I also got their prosciutto sandwich - usually I am not a fan of prosciutto but this sadnwich was very good! & I got the mixed meat sandwich - another great contender. The bread they used for the sandwiches is light & toasty so it doesn't feel too heavy & doesn't hurt the roof of your mouth. The sandwiches don't have any sauce in them & yet they are flavourful. Next time I might ask them to make mine spicy as I was just missing some heat to round it all up.
Would recommend making a trip here. Parking was also easy to find on a Friday holiday morning. Could be busier on weekends.

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.

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.
