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.
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 🤩 💛🥳

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.
What a perfect lunch spot. I came here for lunch & had a salad & a piece of pizza. This place was bustling. Very lively & seems to be extremely popular. They have pizza, salads & an array of choices for dessert. There is coffee & gelato as well. Really a great place for a snack or a meal. There is something for everyone.
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.
Première visite pour un anniversaire, nous avons jeté notre dévolu sur le gâteau Boston. À la caisse, on nous précise qu'il s'agit d'un des meilleurs vendeurs: génoise, crème pâtissière, crème fouettée, le tout surmonté d'une ganache au chocolat. Dans l'ensemble, une belle proposition. Toutefois, une ganache excellente mais beaucoup trop généreuse & une génoise pas assez humidifiée nuisent à la dégustation ainsi qu'à la découpe. Bel assemblage mais un dressage/proportions à revoir. Accueil sympathique, belle gamme de produits & ambiance conviviale ! À recommander !
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!
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.
