World’s best Italian sandwiches, cafe latte, cappuccino and especially their, surprise treat, home-made cannoli. Charming, welcoming Owners. The atmosphere felt like we were sitting in a cozy, friendly Italian kitchen. We were a group of 4 and we highly recommend Amalia’s Cafe as a down-to-earth 5-Star Plus Cafe.

If you hear a person talking about not enjoying the atmosphere, they simply do not understand where they are. It is attached to their home and the fantastic couple are proud to serve you. The drinks and gelato are great, plus you can ask if they have any food (the sandwiches are great). All this for a great price and in my opinion, a fantastic atmosphere, makes it an absolute hidden gem.

Great coffee served with italian love and passion. We dropped in on an F1 race day, fun convos.

I was a lost driver looking for an address. I was met by an extremely rude gentleman who spoke to me disrespectfully and pointed his finger at me. I explained I was a lost health care worker and he continued to be disrespectful and rude. I will never come to this place of business and will pass this story along. No compassion, no understanding, nothing nice to say at all. You know, when you re lost and trying to find your way, it doesn t feel safe or good to be met with such negative and closed minded people. Especially when you are trying to find someone who needs help. Think twice before giving this man your business.

Constantino is an amazing host, so calm and genuine. Stopped in for a cappuccino on my way home from a long day, he spun up some conversation and made my day with a tasty finish! We have a lot to learn about the moments in life we can easily miss if we get wrapped up in the rat race!

Our group of visitors from New Zealand were in despair at finding decent coffee in Canada. A search on the Garmin produced a long list of Tim Horton establishments with Cafe Amalia as an oasis of quality. Chuck and Amalia are the two most lovely friendly people you could ever hope to meet and their coffee was outstanding. Five stars, with honours
