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.
Amazing place , went for brunch , the salad was really fresh vegetables & the cheese was melting
Can not describe the pastries , as were the very best - portuguese Nata, Italian cannoli & even a doughnut were to die fo

Very well located place with parking around the area, cozy decoration, good ambiance, very busy, delicious sandwiches, fresh, tasty, also a wide variety of desserts, totally recommended spot in Lachine!
Had lunch here & everything was just really good. The sandwiches were super fresh, packed with plenty of meat & veggies, & the bread was perfect. The fries were crispy & addictive & the salad was very fresh!
It's simple food done really well, & you can taste the quality. Definitely a spot I'll come back to.
It was my first time at Nonnina & I already want to go back again & again. The staff was super friendly & the food was fresh & really authentic. The Italian atmosphere can be perceived in every detail of the place.

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!
Far & away one of the best hidden gems in Montreal. The food is always fresh & incredibly delicious. I'm a big fan of the sandwiches & would put them up there with the best in Montreal (Marchigiani for example). The coffee is very underrated & I always recommend getting one when you stop by. Finally the bakery itself, absolutely incredible!! Try the donuts, the bread, the pizza, eclairs, fruit tart it's all 🔥
During the week or on the weekend it's a must stop, chill in old Lachine with insanely good food… can't go wrong.
I have been trying to eat here for awhile but my hours never worked with theirs. Finally bought a Italian sausage sandwich with a salad for lunch & it is one of the best out there. I didn't read the ingredients so I found out quick that it was very spicy. I love spicy & hot food so really enjoyed the tasteful meal. All food is made on site & everything looked fresh making it hard to choose. I was greeted with a hello & a smile & was served with respect & courtesy which are things I note when being served by the public. I highly recommended.

Catered a 30th birthday party from Nonnina's & was not disappointed. Great selection of party food to choose from. Price matched the quality & quantity of food ordered. Sandwiches & pastries were fresh & delicious right down to each last bite. Eaten at Nonnina's many times as well & always delicious, great service & atmosphere for a smaller space!
I take it back . . . The Caesar salade is what's actually keeps me coming back. 🤌🏼 I had the Canoli Pistachio 🤌🏼
I see why people love their sandwiches 👍🏼
Just had the cutlet chicken spicy one , It all taste fresh.
You really got to have the ones the fit to your taste.
Tried their infamous zeppole & it didn't disappoint! They are packed with filling & tasted so fresh. Natas were also good. Can't wait to try other items!

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.
Went for a late lunch. Had a chicken cutlet sandwich, cod croquettes, & ordered some cannoli & zeppole for the office. Everything was delicious & fresh. The sandwich was huge & could only finish half! The pizza looked delicious. The service was friendly & efficient. A little on the pricier side but it is good quality & comparable for the west island. Will go again for sure!
