Attention italophiles...fresh cornetti and capucini
Has anyone stopped in to Café Lili & Oli on Notre Dame in St-Henri? I had a true italo-gasm this morning.
I go once in a while, but this morning I happened to witness a delivery of fresh cornetti....
For you italo-philes, those are the croissant-like pastries stuffed with ricotta, chocolate or custard you eat for breakfast in Italy with your cappucino. They were still hot when he got them. Some place on St-Laurent apparently delivers them daily - Does anyone know who on St-Laurent is baking and delivering these little bundles of joy?
I should also mention that the kid behind the counter makes a killer coffee for a 'manga-cake' (and I mean that very affectionately...he's really a nice kid)














Could it be pâtisserie Roma? I know their croissants are quite good and the canollis are decent too.

Bravi! Sono molto molto buoni questi cornetti!
I'll continue in English - I live very close by and am looking forward to you guys serving espresso and setting up a couple of tables, for an early-morning whiff of Italia before getting down to work.
They are right next door to a Tango school...
