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.
Delicious sandwiches, we've had the poulet épicé & the club à la dinde no bacon, was so good & their parmesan fries are amazing, love the sauce it comes with too. Generous portions & quick service. For dessert, I recommend their brownie, one of the best i've tried so far!

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.
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!
Loved the sandwiches & desserts they have here! Large selection of desserts, gelato & coffee as well as their delicious Italian sandwiches. Would definitely come back!
OK, so I almost never write reviews & I pretty much never complain about food/service. But Nonnina messed up & I really felt the need to let them know. So I called them, mostly just to vent. Well, I must say, I'm blown away at how far they went out of their way to apologize & to try to make things right. So, not only do these guys make the very best cannolis & natas (& more!) in the city, they also really know how to take care of their customers. Go grab a calzone, or a sandwich, & a pastry today!
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.
Awesome place! Was my first time. Will come again! The food was yummy! I gave it 4 stars because it was slow. My coffee & soda took quite some time to arrive. & my sandwiches to go also took a surprising amount of time. Still, very good
I shared a lobster tail & a raspberry bombolini with my boyfriend along with a latte & it was absolutely delicious. The cream in the lobster tail was out of this world. I will for sure go back to try their sandwiches & pizza. 5/5, i recommend !
Que ce soit les pizzas à la plaque, les viennoiseries & croissants, les sandwiches & les pâtisseries & gelato ; impossible de se tromper, tout est délicieux. Cuisiné avec les meilleurs ingrédients & avec "amore" Malgré les nombreux clients, le service est irréprochable. Si vous n'êtes pas de Lachine, faites un petit détour!
This is the best place in Montreal. If you want to have a sandwich, pizza or cake, this is definitely the best place. I can vouch that the cakes are better than all other bakeries on the island of Montreal. If you go try it, you'll understand. There's a real handsome gentleman that works there, I think his name is Vinny & he's super helpful & polite. This place is very lucky to have him, every time we go he's usually the one serving us & he's very very nice. They're lucky to have him over there, but also, if you love cake, like pieces of cake or a whole cake, they have the best cakes on the island of Montreal. So I hope you're listening carefully. I said the best in Montreal so yeah, it's worth the drive. It's worth the trip. Even if you live far from there. Take a drive. Go see it. You'll want to write about it like I'm doing right now. This place is not just good. It's phenomenal. Their whole staff is really really helpful. Very very thorough & this place really there's no other place to go get cakes or pizza or sandwiches. It's for sure the best place. They also have a bunch of other stuff like panetones & they have croissants & they have a bunch of stuff. Really worth the trip to go & see. They're actually also going to be renovating sometime soon to serve you even better. This place is just really really good. So there's no reason for you to not go there & try it. So get up get out. Go try it. Take a drive. I'll leave you the address. Just put it that in your GPS & you're good to go. So go try this place out. Like I said, there's no reason you shouldn't try it. I'm a local guide 7 & I only tell the truth & I wouldn't lie. If this place wasn't good, I would tell you it's not good. Trust me this place is not only good, it's really good, so don't hesitate. Just get up, go try it out or tell a friend that lives around there to go try it for you. But whatever you do once you're as amazed as I am by the food & service you get there, write them in a little comment like I'm doing & make them happy & make them worthy of their amazing everything. So that's it guys. Don't hesitate go try this place. It's called nonnina's & it's really worth the trip. So enough said here's the address & I'll see you there. & don't forget to write a nice review when you're done because they deserve it. Here's the address 1865 Rue Notre Dame, Lachine, QC H8S 2E9
I was at a chalet & Rob brought sandwiches, pizza & cannolis & I am now a changed man. Simply phenomenal, all is clear to me now in the universe & beyond.
