Nonnina comes through in these reviews as a cozy, welcoming Italian spot in Lachine with a bakery like pastry counter, fast service, and a lively but friendly vibe. The menu earns high marks for generous, fresh sandwiches such as porchetta and Italian meats, with the spicy chicken sandwich a longtime favorite though some readers note the chicken cutlets have grown thicker and chewier. A broad pastry selection including cannoli, pistachio cannolis, tiramisu, and zeppole is consistently praised, as are the coffee and espresso drinks which many describe as excellent, even if a few note variability. Desserts and coffees pair well with a wide range of Italian baked goods, and the pastries are described as outstanding and reliably delicious. The staff are repeatedly praised for warmth, attentiveness, and efficient service, contributing to a familial cafe vibe and a strong sense of community, though it can be busy or noisy at peak times. Overall it is regarded as a must visit neighborhood gem with substantial sandwiches, superb bakery items, and a welcoming atmosphere.
One of the best, go-to bakeries in Montréal. It's hard not to order every dessert. Everything is always so fresh, been going here for a while now & I've never been disappointed.

Excellent sandwich shop. Nice variety of fresh sandwiches, sides & desserts. Coffee bar is great. Shop is trendy looking & very clean. Outdoor seating available in the summer. Located next to the flower market in Lachine. Highly recommend.
I stopped by this spot for lunch & desserts, & everything was fantastic! The sandwiches were fresh, packed with flavor. The pastries were equally amazing. The oat bar was a nice balance of sweet & hearty. Friendly service & a cozy vibe made the experience even better. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!
Yes Nina more like it! We had the pleasure of meeting Mario, I believe his name is. My wife & I ordered the Porcetta Sandwich, the Italian meats sandwich & an assortment of their desserts. I have to say what a treat! Sandwiches crafted with love & ohhhh ao delicious. Anyone craving an Italian styled sandwich has to visit Nonninas. Do yourself the service. Incredible staff & incredible food! Get going! Get there!

Hands down un des meilleurs sandwichs de ma vie, prenez le pain focaccia & vous ne le regretterez pas. Il n'y a pas que la nourriture qui est excellente, mais le service est WOW. J'ai oublié de dire que je voulais un pain specifique, perdu ma facture, bref j'ai rendue tout ça chaotique, jamais le serveur n'a perdue patience & a été très gentil! Les dessert & café glacé aussi sont débiles, bref vaut le détour!
Amazing food! It was my first time & it did not disappoint. Amazing sandwiches & they're desserts looked amazing & I would love to go back to try their desserts! Staff was super friendly & just overall a good vibe for a casual lunch or quick bite to eat!
What a perfect lunch spot. I came here for lunch & had a salad & a piece of pizza. This place was bustling. Very lively & seems to be extremely popular. They have pizza, salads & an array of choices for dessert. There is coffee & gelato as well. Really a great place for a snack or a meal. There is something for everyone.
If you are looking for an outstanding patisserie/cafe to have breakfast/brunch/lunch, then Nonnina is the place for you.
They have a tremendous selection of coffees, focaccias, made-to-order sandwiches & desserts.
It is largely a self-serve cafe, where you place your order, get a pager to let you know when your food will be ready for pick up at the side counter, then you proceed to the Barrista station to pick up your coffee. After picking up your coffee, you can neither try to find an open table (a bit of a challenge in the winter, when the patio is closed & the open air doors are closed), or wait by the side counter for your pager to buzz.
The fresh sandwiches are huge & delicious.
I had the fresh porcetta sandwich, which kind of resembled a shawarma, with red onions & white sauce in the bottom & topped with a mixture of thinly sliced pork & shredded lettuce.
My wife ordered a Turkey Club & could only finish half of it.
On our way out, we picked up half a dozen pastries for a dinner party that night, all of which were delicious.
The menu is available online but the visuals don't do adequate service to the food.

Always great no matter what you order. We live so far & go there atleast once a week. Quality is outstanding. From sandwiches to desserts to coffees to pizzas, everything is good. Except the lady owner/manager could smile a little... they're making a killing. Atleast she doesn't just stand there she helps around.
Update: Zeppole are delicious during the Zeppole season & pistachio one is made with real Pistachio cream. Unlike some places who put green food coloring.
Loved the sandwiches & desserts they have here! Large selection of desserts, gelato & coffee as well as their delicious Italian sandwiches. Would definitely come back!
Best Italian bakery in the area. Everything here is fantastic. Pastries & desserts are very good. Amazing pizza & other foods. Try the steak sandwich, it is amazing. Gelato is also extremely good. You won't regret giving this place a try.
The cutest place! Very nice vibes inside, super close to the water if you want to drink your coffee there too. Food was so good, with great quantity & flavours, & the choice of desserts is impressive. Really liked their coffee too. Not expensive as well. A gem in Lasalle after a ride in René-Lévesque park!
Pretty good place to stop for lunch, the sub I had was good (porchetta), they have a nice selection of desserts & a good amount of seating. There can be a long lineup during certain time but it's worth the wait.
