Dispensa Épicerie Italienne comes across as a lively Italian deli with great coffee, fresh sandwiches, and tasty pastries; reviews praise high quality bread and ingredients, and a friendly, efficient staff that remembers orders quickly. The atmosphere is welcoming and authentic, with long lunchtime lines that move surprisingly fast and a sense of community around a menu of Italian specialties. While portions and prices vary, many items are described as excellent value, and the desserts and Italian treats frequently earn compliments. Overall, the place is seen as a true hidden gem for casual meals, takeout, and a quick, satisfying bite.
La Dispensa is a true hidden gem. I first discovered it thanks to my wife, whose office is nearby, & since then it has become one of my favorite spots. Their coffee is fantastic, probably some of the best around, & the sandwiches are always fresh & flavorful. The poulet Pane sandwich is on another level, the bread is perfectly crunchy yet light, & the quality for the price is unbeatable.
I go there several times a week, & I often recommend it to clients when they want a quick but excellent bite. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, & even if it gets busy around lunch, it's worth the wait.
Highly recommend!

review for the cannolo only: filling not too sweet, dense riccota dense filling, substantial filling, had chocolate chips. came prefilled but the shell remained crisp. cream was a bit grainy but overall meets expectations!!!! 3.5/5 cannoli :)
Great Coffee, & the sandwich I got it early (10h30) because I know how popular this place gets. I wasnt able to wait until noon to eat it. Gobbled it right up. The bread is crunchy & fresh, the ingredients amazing... & 10$! Amazing!
Un des meilleurs sandwichs de Montréal, & la file chaque midi le prouve. Ne te laisse pas décourager par l'attente, à l'intérieur, l'équipe est ultra réactive.
Des produits délicieux comme les lasagnes, les calzoni, les sandwichs & d'autres spécialités italiennes ! Un service excellent assuré par Aldo ! Grazie mille !!!!

My compliments to the staff & chefs. I recently discovered your store & the sandwiches are perfect every time. The ambiance is nostalgic & authentic to stores I've come across in Italy. Great quality & selection of Italian products. Keep up the great work.
First trip (don't judge me) & was pleasantly surprised! GREAT value & fast service compared to other joints. Tried the chicken & meatball sandwiches. Bread is great & flavour on point. Keep it up guys!
