If you're wandering through Montreal and searching for a cozy spot to indulge your taste buds, look no further than Caffe Bertoni. Nestled in the charming neighborhood at 1443 Rue Lambert-Closse, this café is an enchanting haven for those looking to savor authentic Italian flavors.

Step inside and you will be greeted by the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee, an inviting ambiance that feels both intimate and vibrant, and staff that treat you like family. With its chic yet comfortable seating, it's the perfect place to unwind with a book, catch up with friends, or even get some studying done. Upon entering, you can feel the passion emanating from the owner, Anthony Bertoni—the heart and soul of this establishment—who often engages with customers, sharing stories about the beans and the art of coffee making.

Caffe Bertoni excels not just in coffee but also in its selection of delicious menu offerings. Indulge in their signature Panini sandwiches, such as the mouthwatering Genoa Salami or the flavorful Cotoletta Di Pollo—each crafted with the finest fresh ingredients and bursting with authentic flavors. Don't skip out on their delightful desserts, particularly the famous Cannoli, which boasts a perfect crunch that gives way to a luscious filling, and the flaky Croissant that simply melts in your mouth.

The experience was amazing! I'm not a coffee person in general but this really put me on! The owner is extremely nice and loves to chat whenever he can. The first time I visited this place, the owner gave me a sample of an espresso and wow it was good! He then walked me through his process and the beans he used for the coffee. From what it looked like, he was super passionate about his craft, he knew coffee culture like the back of his hand. Superb place and superb staff! I highly suggest you come and try them out!

Great food and even better service! We got the chicken cutlet sandwich, 2 Crema Café’s and 2 croissants (one regular and one Nutella). Although you have to wait a bit of time for the chicken cutlet, it was absolutely worth the wait! The homemade pesto was fantastic and the bread.. a fresh sourdough - incredible! The Crema Café had a great texture (practically like a soft serve) and tasted great! The croissant’s are also made from sourdough which made for a great texture and didn’t make you feel heavy when eating - it was very light and enjoyable! I’d recommend Caffè Bertoni to everyone and would recommend to try every item that we had. P.S. Ask for them to slice fresh fior de latte cheese on your sandwich!

It is a really nice place with warm staff. I am going there to do my university works and the thing I enjoy is the quiet environment in the downtown. The quality of its services is GREAT. Very delicious lattes with fresh pastries. Overall,I strongly recommend this place to others.
