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.
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.

Victime de leur popularité - Préparez-vous à attendre. Plus de 30 minutes pour un sandwich sans compter le temps en file. C'est vraiment vraiment bon par contre.
J'y suis retourné en semaine & j'ai pris la peine d'appeler pour un takeout pour éviter la file. On m'a fait savoir qu'ils ne pouvaient pas prendre une'grosse commande' parce qu'ils devraient passer la crédit au téléphone. Je me suis arrêter à un sandwich & une salade. J'ai commandé les pâtisseries que j'aurais voulu sur place une fois arrivée. Il n'y avait personne en file. Tout était très très bon mais ça me semble difficile à préparer pour emporter.
We ordered through Uber eats. Ordered 2 panini sandwiches & the parmesan truffle fries. Everything was delicious & prices were quite reasonable. Will have to try the sandwiches on focaccia next time (extra $3/sandwich).
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!
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!

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!
Great sandwiches, delicious cannoli, nicely located near the farmer's market & a small walk from the park, we often get our lunch & have picnics by water. It can be really busy at lunch time, but worth the wait.
I always have the Italian meat sub & it's incredibly filling & yummy. My husband really likes the spicy chicken (the mayo is spicy not really the chicken) & he really loves the Natas (Portuguese custard tart).
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.
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!
The sandwiches are super good! I recommend the chicken & the sausage ones. Their cookies are amazing - especially the pistachio one!! There's usually a lineup, but it goes fast & you get your food quickly 🤩 💛🥳
Visited from Ottawa.
I cannot believe this place doesn't have thousands of great reviews! We visiting on Easter Sunday for the first time & it did not disappoint. When a place is packed it's normally a good indication that the food is great & this place was busy! It was Easter so they had many pastry items that they probably don't carry year round but they had soooo many options. Everything looked so good, I wish I would have bought more! We tried their sandwiches, a few pastries & coffee/tea. We loved everything.
