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.
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.
We drive in every now & then from Pierrefonds because this place is just so good. The coffee, the pizza & especially the sandwiches. Kids love it every time as well which is a huge bonus & the atmosphere is great as well with the family.
I used to come here almost every weekend for the spicy chicken sandwich - it was my favorite. Unfortunately, the chicken is now much thicker & chewy, which really changes the whole experience. It's a shame, because it used to be such an amazing sandwich.

I really loved the spicy chicken sandwich, however since you started using thicker pieces of chicken I don't like it as much. Please bring back the classic spicy chicken sandwich. 😊
PACKED on a Sunday. They have a great system so you can get your drinks fast then the food when its ready with a pager. Absolutely fantastic food, Italian delights of exceptional superiority. Probably the best Italian sandwiches on the island. ILL BE BACK!

Les meilleurs sandwichs. Staff toujours courtois, rapide & efficace. Un hotspot centralisé sur la rue Notre-Dame & toujours occupé, mais l'attente n'est jamais longue. Toujours très satisfait. Excellent restaurant. À ne pas manquer!!
What a great discovery. The sandwich was insane, the coffee was delicious & the pastry divine! I wish this place was closer to my place. I even spilled my drink by accident, someone backed into me, & I was about to cry because my latte was soo good & the man working there took the order & got me another one! Great service & food. I 100% recommend to everyone.
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.
Wonderful restaurant! Food is absolutely tasty. Usually, these restaurants make sandwiches that drip with sauce & fall apart to say'so many flavours' but Nonnina doesn't need to do that, it's a real sandwhich with all the flavours & no mess. 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.
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.
First of all, there is no English menu AT ALL. This is Canada, where the national languages are both English & French so I find this completely unacceptable as an anglophone. Second of all, there is little to no accommodation for food allergies. We tried to order gluten free bread & were told there are no options at all. In 2025??? Unacceptable. There need to be accommodations for popular food allergies at busy cafes in a first-world country such as this. Sandwich was good & came out fast, but I can find places that are more accommodating.
