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 and he's super helpful and polite. This place is very lucky to have him, every time we go he's usually the one serving us and he's very very nice. I also have to mention Santino who serves you even before you ask him, he's that fast and efficient, a pro, they're lucky to have him over there as well, 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 and 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 and they have croissants and they have a bunch of stuff. Really worth the trip to go and 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 and 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 and 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 and I only tell the truth and 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 and service you get there, write them in a little comment like I'm doing and make them happy and make them worthy of their amazing everything. So that's it guys. Don't hesitate go try this place. It's called nonnina's and it's really worth the trip. So enough said here's the address and I'll see you there. And don't forget to write a nice review when you're done because they deserve it. Here's the address 1865 Rue Notre Dame,...
Read moreIf 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 and 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 and the open air doors are closed), or wait by the side counter for your pager to buzz.
The fresh sandwiches are huge and delicious.
I had the fresh porcetta sandwich, which kind of resembled a shawarma, with red onions and white sauce in the bottom and topped with a mixture of thinly sliced pork and shredded lettuce. My wife ordered a Turkey Club and 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...
Read moreI went to buy a cake for my son’s birthday.. I was the next person in the line. I standed in of the cake vitrine and chose a cake. So they came and took the cake away, so I chose another one; they came and took the cake away again. I didn’t understand what was going on. The owner/manager came trying to explain. So I said it didn’t matter, after all there were plenty of other cakes, I could choose another one. Apparently they reserve the cakes for clients. I just don’t understand if it’s reserved why they keep it there exposed to others clients. Anyways I just wanted to buy a cake, there were plenty of them. I didn’t complain or make a big deal. The manager/owner accused me of being rude in front of all his clients!!! That person is insane! I left and I realized that he was the one being rude, he almost through me out of his store!! Wowww. You need some client service training! You are successful now, but there will always be...
