As an Italian I had to try the Caffè Italia in Montreal!
Such a great atmosphere & the espresso was simply superb.
I loved everything about the place as it seems to be in an old bar in one of the old parts of my hometown.

Caffè Italia is a charming, old-school gem that has stood the test of time-quite literally, since 1956. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere that feels like a slice of authentic Italian tradition.

I ordered their cannoli & latte, & both were absolute perfection,a perfect pairing.

Some places don't need lengthy reviews because they speak for themselves, & Caffè Italia is one of them. If you appreciate timeless quality & old-world charm, this café is a must-visit.

Amazing, usually places like this don't have milk alternatives but they have oat milk! Coffee was incredibly good especially for the price
