Overall, Campanelli is described as a cozy, retro Italian cafe with consistently strong coffee and a standout vibe, with many reviewers calling it the best coffee in the city and praising lattes, iced mochas, chai, and a good hot chocolate, along with tasty pastries and sandwiches. The atmosphere is friendly and social, a draw for hanging out, though some note the layout changes can be confusing and seating can be uncomfortable, and wifi is not available. Service is usually warm and helpful, but a few experiences mention missteps or slow or incorrect drinks. Some menu items receive mixed feelings, such as a prosciutto bocconcini sandwich, while the pastries and cappuccinos receive frequent praise. Pricing is considered high by some compared to local competition, but many feel the coffee quality and welcoming environment justify it. Campanelli is viewed as a Saint Henri staple with a strong Italian cafe identity and a cozy, inviting space that appeals to regulars and newcomers alike.
Best coffee in the city quite literally. These are the real cup of java bosses to rival with for coffee that actuskky waked you up as well as tasted heavenly, as a coffee should. Try their Aranchini,sandwicheds & pastries, worth every penny.
Best latte I've ever had hands down.
I'm usually hesitant about coffee shops & espresso but I finally gave Campanelli a try after hearing so many great things & I can honestly say I have never had a better latte, super friendly service, absolute gem of a spot with great people.
Really cool Italian cafe in the Saint Henri neighborhood. I really enjoyed the vibes. I actually ended up getting a hot chocolate so I can't comment on the coffee, but my hot chocolate was very good & not too sweet.
Je me suis arrêté ici pour acheter un sandwich prosciutto bocconcini. Je n'ai pas été impressionné par les saveurs de ce sandwich. Plusieurs clients étaient installés avec leurs ordinateurs dans la salle & ils n'avaient pas l'air bien installés ( pas de table confortable à disposition). Je n'ai pas gouté le café mais je suis persuadée qu'il doit être très bon.
Good vibe, good people, ok coffee (it's not bad just prefer a different roast/blend personally) but the prices are insane compared to local competition

new layout is obviously as confusing for the customers as it is for the workers, which look new. had a passive aggressive encounter with both customers & employees after an *honest* mistake, handled poorly, tbh. appreciate y'alls food but.. yea that was lame
Secondly Italian coffee, on the darker, roastier side. The shop itself is nice & set up for hangout. I thought it was more for work, but they do not have wifi. Though I didn't like that, in also did like the way they set things up to be more social. Service was really nice & helpful.
