Overall, reviews describe Nonnina as a beloved Italian bakery cafe in Lachine, known for fresh, high quality ingredients, generous sandwiches, a wide range of pastries and desserts, and standout items like zeppole and cannoli; the atmosphere is warm and lively with friendly, attentive staff and reliable service, and the coffee, gelato, and pizza options are frequently praised. The spot is often busy with queues, but the ordering system and fast pickup help keep things moving, and guests appreciate the convenient terrace, takeout and catering options, and the strong sense of community that brings return visits; some comments note occasional price sensitivity, occasional inconsistency in texture of certain items like spicy chicken, and a desire for a bit more space or quieter times, but the overall sentiment remains highly positive and loyal.
Nonnina in Lachine delivered an amazing experience from start to finish. The pastries were fresh, delicate, & full of flavor, while the sandwiches were made with high quality ingredients & tasted absolutely delicious. The gateaux & desserts were beautifully presented & tasted just as incredible as they looked. Everything felt authentic & carefully prepared. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff was friendly, attentive, & professional throughout the visit. It's rare to find a place that excels equally in pastries, sandwiches, & desserts. Truly a hidden gem in Lachine that I'll definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended!
My mom & I visited Nonnina's with our dog this morning 🐶. The personnel at the cash was quite empathetic & apologized that my dog cannot stay inside the restaurant- which I have foreseen with people having allergies & everything.
When we arrived around 10:20, it was too early for the lunch menu (which starts at 11:00), so my mom decided to stay inside the restaurant, while my dog & I stayed outside on the tables & chairs set-up out front.
While we were waiting for the lunch menu to be ready, we ordered croissants with cheese 🥐. When our order was ready, I didn't realize that mine came with ham (I do not eat pork), so I went back to the personnel at the cash & made him aware of it. Not only did he prepare me a new one with only cheese, but he also let my mom keep the one with ham.
The whole restaurant has such a nice vibe to it & having personnel like that man at the cash (I didn't ask for his name), makes the whole experience even better! The mozzarella tomato 🍅 & mortadella buratta were delicious!!! The vanilla latte was quite good ☕? (per my mom).
Plus, the location is about 5 minutes walk from the Lachine Canal, which is so nice for bird watching!
I highly recommend!!!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

An absolute gem of Lachine - from food to staff to ambience. Our favourite local spot for croissants, foccacia pizzas, & of course, the spicy chicken sandwhich. Beyond the great food, the staff is incredibly welcoming - it's a neighbourhood staple for good reason & quite possibly the heart & soul of the area. Highly recommend!
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!

Le Nonnina est tout simplement un restaurant à découvrir absolument. La nourriture est toujours délicieuse, le service est rapide & impeccable, & l'ambiance est portée par des employés chaleureux qui offrent un service véritablement personnalisé.
J'ai aussi fait affaire avec eux pour leur service traiteur lors de mon party de Noël & j'ai été plus que satisfaite. (& toute mon équipe aussi d'ailleurs)Tout était parfait du début à la fin.
Honnêtement, c'est un endroit que tout le monde devrait essayer au moins une fois. Pour moi, je le recommande à 100%, c'est un endroit que tout le monde gagnerait à connaître.
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.

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.
A hidden gem in Lachine! The vibe inside it feels like you are in a little busy cafe in Italy, staff is very lovely & you can also buy some of the local italian products.
Their sandwiches are excellent & the pastries are to die for! Highly recommend getting an afogato on a hot day especially since they also make their own gelato.
Their cakes are also very good, very light & not too heavy, call 1-2 days in advance if you want to order a specific whole cake for a celebration.
Highly recommend their cannoli cake, their pistachio cannolis, their almond flour pistachio cookies & the proscuitto sandwich to name a few!

Everything that they offer is top notch! I've had the wraps & bakery items previously but even the shelf-stable pantry items they sell are really good. It's a regular stop for me at this point. Plus, the prices here are very hard to beat. Definitely a unique place that adds a lot to the Lachine area's food scene.
I love Nonnina! Such a staple in Lachine. Great food, great pastries & great coffee.
They use high quality ingredients & truly authentic Italian flavours!
Voici trois fois que nous y allons & tout est toujours exceptionnellement bon, dont les meilleurs arancini (pistache & pancetta, wow) & cannoli mangés de ce côté-ci de l'Atlantique! Sans parler de leurs deux belles terrasses à quelques pas du Canal Lachine. On a hâte d'y retourner!
Best. Since I discovered them while passing by Lachine had to come twice in three days, cause I felt the need to try all of their pastries. Soooo good! Definitely will go every time I'm in Lachine.
