Italian Cafe

I was so excited about this place, and they didn't disappoint. We had a coffee flight, and I loved it. Especially the cappuccino. The best I've ever had. I also had a mini cannolli which was delicious. Also, the person serving us was super friendly and out going. This is a nice little place to stop for amazing coffee.

Spent an absolutely lovely morning visiting the Italian Cafe and Canolli Bar We had been recommended to Carrie, to experience a “ flight” of coffee. We LOVE our coffee. What fun!
Sitting on the patio, breeze blowing, sipping the selection of brews, truly felt authentic. We can’t wait to come back and eat. We are looking forward to your Mom’s recipes and sharing with you again!
We loved chatting with you and feel like we made a new and interesting friend… we’ll be back soon
Thank you so very much Carrie xo

Awesome owners, food and patio. Perfect for a summer lunch and drink/coffee. Never disappoints and highly recommend. (Ps the ice is great too). Support your local small business and you’ll feel awesome as well!

We ordered half a dozen cannolis the first day and then we went back the next day to get a dozen more. They’re so delicious! Iced coffee is strong and very addicting! We’ll be back soon!

** Just had to thank you for singing happy birthday to me a couple of months ago! You’re amazing! We loved the cannoli cake it was delicious!

Amazing coffee flights. Owner is extremely nice. Community feel. The owner gave us fresh cookies because we had to wait for new almond milk! Very thoughtful.

Great spot in St. Catharines.a hidden gem really. Everything tastes great. Carrie goes to great lengths to create an authentic menu. Perfect for grabbing a coffee, something sweet, or even an entire meal. Check it out, you won't regret it.

The food was amazing and so was the service! The lady running the cafe made my friend and I feel like family. Definitely going again

All authentic Italian food and ingredients. Recipes passed down from generations in the famalià. All were served with the biggest and warmest smile from the owner Carrie. Creme horns are my favourite but the cannoli cake is to die for.

Excellent steak panini & veal parm panini -
Compliments to chef Nate. Carrie always serves with a smile? Your chocolate tarts & cannoli are delicious. THANKYOU and see you again.

The best cannoli outside Italy. We walked in to place a small order and got a batch with fresh cream, even though it was close to closing. This is a must visit.

This quaint café is a must visit! The customer service was stellar - we arrived right at opening time & the owner let us know that she couldn't open right at 11 today because something urgent came up, but she told us she would open in 30 mins and urged us to come back. No worries, we went to run an errand and came back and she was so glad to see us return. We ordered a coffee flight (which was so fun) and she gave us two free mini cannolis to go with it, as a thank you for understanding the later opening time. Their cannolis are so tasty, we ended up getting a full box of assorted desserts to go. We also each got a panini, veal parmesan & their steak sandwich. Both were fantastic. Freshly made to order and the bread tastes like it was freshly made too. The café was also bustling by 12pm & it seemed like a lot of people were regulars. I would 100% come back to this place, the staff were lovely & the food was 10/10.

Great local business, tasty food, and an owner that's full of passion and excitement for what she does! Doesn't get better than that)

Super cute ambience, friendly staff, and delicious gelato. I'll definitely be back again!

Love this quaint place. Looks just like the cafe’s in Italy and the smell of espresso coffee was amazing! We ordered a specialty cake for a special bday party and it was absolutely delicious! The owner/staff make you feel welcome from the minute you enter. Will definitely be going back for lunch etc

Went there for the coffee flights, shared between two people and it was just enough. I like sweet coffee so it was good for me, but if you dont like sweet coffee definitely ask for the iced coffee without the syrup. Overall really nice place:)

Ok so I have been going to the Italian Cafe for a few yrs now, before Carrie and Dan bought the place. They do Steak Paninis on Saturdays but we work Saturdays so we would always miss out. One day I popped into the Cafe and Carrie suggested that she would save 2 portions of steak (for me and the hubby) and she would make them for us on a Sunday! Well game changer! So now I just call ahead and let her know and Carrie makes them for us! Now that's an awesome owner! Thanks for the Paninis!?

I love how they use Calabrese buns for their paninis. My faves are the Italiano and the chicken parm paninis. The cannolis never disappoint either! My fave spot for a quick lunch

Great spot for that authentic Expresso experience. The staff are friendly and the shop decor is great, the patio is always a good spot. Always clean, and the food + drinks are to die for.

Great little cafe, with an authentic Italian feel. Seating was plenty both indoors and out, great atmosphere. Service was excellent, fast and the server very friendly and accommodating. The coffee products were fresh and very tasty. Tried the cannolis, made fresh that day, highly recommended. If your looking to relax and enjoy a fresh cup of coffee or treat, this is the place to go.

We loved it! Highly recommended. Great service, clean space, and pastries were excellent. Coffee flight was so good!

Based on reviews, we wandered down to the Italian Cafe today and we were not disappointed. Had some cappuccino and cannoli and ordered two of their Italian paninis to go for our picnic. Everything was fantastic! And they are so, so friendly. Highly recommended.

Very nice and welcoming feeling place. Took a date here and was not disappointed. The staff is incredibly inviting and friendly, the food was absolutely delicious (ordered a panini and a cannoli), and the coffee was so delicious I've been trying to find something to fill the void it left on my caffeine needs when it was gone.

Easily recommend this place for a nice day date or lunch break.

P.s. Try the Coffee Flight. I didn't sleep for 2 days haha.

Cozy setting. Had an espresso with a chai flavor shot and it tasted awesome! Will be back next time I'm around.

Visited the Italian Cafe for the first time today with my brother and a friend. We all enjoyed our experience! Great service with a warm smile. We ordered a latte, cafe Americano and a capuccino. The coffees were fantastic!
Also, best cannoli I have ever had! My brother ordered a tart which he said was awesome but I was too busy oohing and aahing over my cannoli to ask what kind it was, lol! Will definitely be visiting again and again!

Great atmosphere, yummy food, super nice owners. Whether you go for a snack, lunch, dessert, or something to drink, they have you covered, with a smile.

Nice little place to go for a coffee and cannoli. Was a little bit busy when we arrived, so you might have to wait a bit for your order.

Food was wonderful. Service is slow so go when you have lots of time. I will definitely go again as everything was delicious and has a lovely European feel.

My second time at the Italian Cafe. Espresso and a cannoli on the patio. Wonderful pastry and friendly staff. Going back for a sandwich.

This place is a legit Italian Cafe, the Americano served has the perfect strength for me. The pistachio cream canoli are the best I've ever had (and this Sicilian has eaten a ton of canoli all over Italy for research). My go to spot whenever I'm in St. Kitts.

This cafe was the highlight of my weekend! The family running it are just the sweetest, most friendly, fabulous people! We happen to be there for their 1 year anniversary and were able to join them for this fabulous Cannoli cake - sooo delish! The coffee flight was fantastic with a macchiato, cappuccino, good brew and a fantastic iced butter pecan latte! Atmosphere - fantastic! Coffee - to die for! I totally recommend it!

This place is a real gem of the city, you need to visit! Coffee is out of this world and so are the owners

Everything is so fresh and so delicious. The gelato takes me back to my trip to Italy. Looking forward to trying some savory dishes next.
