Review Summary

Reviews describe Caffè Italia as a beloved, old school Italian cafe with a warm neighborhood vibe and a standout coffee program. The cappuccino and other espressos are repeatedly praised for balance and crema, with many saying it is among the best in the city. Cannoli, biscotti and fresh pastries pair well with drinks, and the panini and croissants are also highly recommended. The atmosphere is described as authentic and inviting, with lingering aromas of roasted beans and a sense of being in a traditional Italian cafe. Service is usually fast and friendly, though peak times can bring longer waits. The place is regarded as a local institution and a must visit for true Italian coffee and atmosphere, offering good value without sacrificing quality. While a few notes mention uneven service on busy days, the overall sentiment highlights top quality coffee, delicious treats, and a nostalgic, old world charm.

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.

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

Paramos aquí durante nuestra caminata para recorrer y conocer Little Italy. Mi amigo se tomó un affogato y yo elegí un gelato. La atención fue magnífica, los precios razonables y aunque no teníamos suficiente hambre, creo que en otra ocasión no nos iremos sin probar sus sándwiches.

Super tasty cappuccino & sandwiches that come with prosciutto. Affordable prices & best of all, it has AC inside on a sunny day.

The best cappuccino in Montreal! This is a great authentic Italian neighbourhood cafe that serves great coffee & sandwiches. The fresh squeezed orange juice is spectacular. Even their simple toast is amazing. Try the prosciutto sandwich!

Vintage Italian Cafe with excellent coffee & sandwiches Enjoyed a Mixed Cold Cut Sandwich on a Panini today which was excellent! My wife had the Capicolli & Mortadella Sandwich. Sandwiches come with marinated mushrooms, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce, & Tomato. Can also have hot peppers added if you like. Excellent Service.

Un classique indémodable de Montréal. Excellent café. Excellente ambiance, il faut venir les jours où un match de soccer est présenté, l'ambiance est joyeuse & bon enfant. On peut y savourer des sandwiches (il faut essayer les paninis tout garnis avec sauce épicée).
