Spotlight on Café Amore: Bringing a Taste of Italy to the Heart of Orléans BIA

Nestled in the vibrant Le Centre Plaza on St. Joseph Boulevard, Café Amore has quickly become a beloved destination for coffee lovers and foodies alike since its opening in April 2023. The brainchild of Emma Cosentino, this Italian café brings a unique blend of authentic Italian flavours, warm hospitality, and a passion for community to the Heart of Orléans BIA.

A Dream Realized

For Emma, Café Amore is the fulfillment of a 15-year dream. Growing up in an Italian household, she was surrounded by the comforting aroma of fresh-brewed espresso on the stovetop. That love and passion for coffee inspired her to create a space where others could experience the magic of Italian café culture.

“Our mission is to share and spread the love of Italian culture through our food, language, and exceptional service,” Emma says.

More Than Just Coffee

Café Amore offers a menu that captures the essence of Italy. From specialty coffee and homemade desserts to pastries, gelato, and panini, there’s something for everyone. The café also accommodates gluten-free and vegetarian diets, ensuring all guests feel welcome. Beyond the food and drinks, Café Amore hosts a variety of community events, including paint nights, book clubs, and private gatherings in their new event space.

For those looking to bring a taste of Café Amore to their special occasions, the café offers catering services for both personal and professional events.

A Growing Presence

Emma’s journey has been one of growth and serendipity. Starting with a quaint location in the plaza, Café Amore soon outgrew its space due to overwhelming community support. In November 2024, Emma expanded to a larger spot just a few doors down, allowing her to better serve her loyal customers while maintaining the café’s elegant and welcoming atmosphere.

Community at Its Core

Emma attributes much of her success to the incredible community in the Heart of Orléans BIA. “I absolutely love The Heart of Orléans BIA because of the amazing community we have, the great support of our customers, and all the local shops in the area,” she shares.

Her dedication to providing a welcoming environment and personalized service has made Café Amore a cornerstone of the Heart of Orléans BIA community.
