Reviews
The food is delicious, the coffee and the atmosphere are amazing!
Super friendly staff. Great coffee. Would recommend!
A wonderful bustling coffee shop right by the Concordia campus. Offers delicious coffee and baked goods and always has the high quality Myriade is known for around the city. Really love this location and has become a regular stop when in the area.
Amazing maple latte! The best latte we had in Montreal.
Espresso was good too but I would have preferred it on a regular small cup. But the maple latte was simply fantastic.
Interesting brand too…

Went there for a coffee and perhaps would never return. The barista served us a cappuccino that I would rather had way too much milk and tasted like a hot milk shake with a tinge of coffee. Mind you it's not a pocket friendly place either.
Couple of rare good things about the place, it offers free Wi-Fi and you can just sip your coffee looking over the busy Concordia junction on Maisonneuve.

Delicious, cheap. Not much sitting room but the best place to get a warm bite and coffee to walk around the market with
They never have any of the more basic pies any more. Only the expensive ones.
I was there at 4:30 and nothing at all in the regular pie section. That is not normal or good service by any means!!!!!!!

Look at the pictures. We had strawberry shortcake and it was to die for. But I want to live so I can have more
Personal go-to. Friendly staff, good service.
Expect a line-up but moves pretty fast. The place is always packed, but we usually find seats, especially during the summer.
I always return to the halloumi toast. Chia bowl is a tasty surprise. Pancakes are good too. Breakfast sandwich is alright.
Coffee is always very well executed.

The coffee taste is strong and savory. I like that there is no acidity.
The coffee taste is good. I recommended.
Loved this place! Staff were very friendly, we had their cortado w/oat milk and it was perfect! Probably the best coffee shop I tried while in Montreal
Was refused service for a cappuccino 17 minutes prior to closing. Visited at 7:43 on Monday, Aug 21.
I own a service business and that is wholly unacceptable, especially for a coffee shop. It is the employees own prerogative if they want to clean early, so they can leave early. Rinsing a carafe and brewing a cappuccino isn’t very time consuming.
But to refuse service so early was an L :(

My friend and I got two cold brews, and though the service was amazing and the staff were really nice and polite, we were unable to drink more than a few sips due to how sour our drinks were (despite 80% of the cup being filled with ice and there not being much liquid to begin with.) Perhaps it’s personal preference, but the 7.00 for the two drinks was definitely not worth it. ☕️😔🙇🏻
My friend and I enjoyed the delicious strawberry bingsoo and matcha bingsoo. We also tried the cake and macaron. We had hoped to try the strawberry cake, but unfortunately, the last piece was taken by someone else. The Oreo cake, however, was incredibly tasty! We plan to visit again specifically to try the strawberry cake.
Decent food, just not sure if it was really worth the long lineup. The avocado toast was done very well. The panckes were tasty but could have used some more syrup. Personally I was not a fan of the coffee here, I had the cold brew and I didn't enjoy it.
Originally gave 2 stars but this place literally gave me food poisoning. I really wish I didn’t force myself to eat the food when it tasted the way it did.
To the owner’s ignorant response: tbh started feeling sick from the taste but the nauseousness eventually got worse into the night. I’m not sure what the owner’s trying to get at but I’m pretty sure normal people don’t take pictures of their throw up when they’re busy throwing up. The last time I had these symptoms was when I had food poisoning back in 2018. That feeling is hard to forget to say the least. They also suggest that I should’ve called but I fail to see how that would’ve helped, especially with this kind of poor response.
To their second response: seongyeob kim, you opened with “if you got food poisoning, why didn’t you call us?” followed by demands of proof. That kind of aggressive and apathetic response only reflect poorly on yourself as a business owner. And now you’re making it seem like you simply left a number for further discussion, which was not the case.
bingsoo is one of my fav deserts, meaning I have it often. Nothing to do with lactose intolerance and shame on you for downplaying it as such.
Won’t be responding further as it is a waste of time.
Original review from Aug 17:
Disappointed by the dine-in experience. Got the blueberry bingsoo and 2 macarons. The bingsoo tasted “stinky” in the same way milk tastes when left out on the counter for too long—a poor cost-saving measure. It was hard to get down and it was all I could taste despite it supposed to taste like blueberry. The macarons were also hard and dense. They probably didn’t let them thaw enough out of the freezer :( Heads up, they also don’t take credit. Debit or cash only.
Would not have tipped if I knew this was going to be the experience but at least the cashier was nice. TLDR; many other good bingsoo and/or Korean cafes in mtl.

I ordered a latte and it was lukewarm, very disappointed, the flavour was good but being cold ruined the experience. Also ordered a cookie and it was good but also cold like it came out of the fridge. Won't be going to this location again.
Amazing place for great coffee, breakfast and even a beverage of your choice. The service was great we went back twice. Mediterranean Toast was fantastic. Near McGill college. Also take out, lunch and dinner menus available with a full bar.
"Go to" café in the neighborhood. Their coffee is great and they have a nice terrace to chill outside. They also serve sandwiches, that are quite good, if you're hungry (just one selection).
Great corner coffee shop. Backery is very tasty. Strongly recommended.
🏠 The Caffe Pigeon in Maisonneuve, Montreal is an absolute gem! 😍 The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot to unwind, and the outdoor seating area adds a delightful touch to the experience. 🌳
☕️ Speaking of the coffee, I ordered the latte caramel, and it was nothing short of AMAZING! 🤩 The perfect blend of rich coffee and luscious caramel flavors left my taste buds dancing with joy. 💃🕺
👌 The attention to detail in their coffee preparation was evident, and the baristas clearly know their craft. The latte art on top was a beautiful touch! ☕️🎨
🧁 The assortment of pastries and treats complemented the coffee perfectly. 🍰🍪 It was hard to resist indulging in some, and I'm glad I did because they were scrumptious! 😋
👍 The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 🤗 It's a place where you can relax and enjoy your coffee without feeling rushed. I had an excellent experience at Caffe Pigeon and will definitely be returning for more of their delightful coffee creations and cozy vibes! ☕️🕊️ If you're a coffee lover, this place is a must-visit in Montreal! 🌟

Chai latte was okay but made out of a packaged concentrate, very strong and spicy though! Sandwiches are prepacked and a bit expensive. Maybe a good option if you're short on time and need something grab and go?
That being said the staff was super kind, and the space really inviting, they had chargers you could take and it seems like a great place to study!

Was visiting Montreal over a weekend and came here every day. Delicious coffee with very kind staff, a lovely lady named June served us all three days and put a smile on our faces each time.
Friendly staff, beautifully made coffee, lovely ambiance. Music tastes for the background music shift from jazz to indie/alternative but always refined and good taste.
Just, yunno, decent coffee shop stuff.

I stopped for an iced mocha and picked up a molasses cookie that called my name. Both were just what I needed at the moment. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Coffee is ok, but on the lower end for a specialty coffee place. Staff speak English and are nice, which is good because my French is est muy plutôt terriblé 😅😭.
Also they have Jenga for weird people who actually live in a city and have friends. 🥲

This is my fav cafe in southwest. The coffees made by a manual espresso machine are absolutely top notch. Go for a flat white or cappuccino, you won’t regret it. Cocktails are also great.
Cute cafe. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. They have one of those industrial juice machines too to make fresh squeezed oj 😍 I got the breakfast sandwich and a cortado to go (want to go back for that avocado toast … wow that was piled high and delicious). Really enjoyed the bfast sandwich tho! Nice brioche bun, good ratio with the ingredients , very tasty. Cortado was also great!
We are noticed that the food needed ti be prepare for 20 mons but actually we waited for our breakfast for 40 mins, and the meal is just sandwiches. How come need to be waited for so long? Service were great, but not worth to spend $50 for a breakfast. Coffee is the highlight, IT IS EXCELLENT!
Nice place. Great staff. They have food and vinyl record equipment. Nice ambiance.
I like this coffee shop, if you want to have a great taste of coffee, I suggest you to come here

Definitely recommend the place. The Persian fog tea and the saffron cake were mind blowing. The grilled vegetable sandwich, broad bean koukou and the lentil soup were also good. Very vegetarian friendly place. The line for ordering was really long and had to wait over 20min to just order food. However the food itself was super quick. Beautiful cafe and the decor was really pretty
My first visit at this café was excellent. The interior decor is very colorful and intricate. It is very welcoming and intimate feeling. Once I order my food, it was brought out promptly and it was delicious. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I'm in Montréal.
Amazing coffee and such kind service! I went back twice today and was greeted with a smile each time. Awesome vibe, can't wait to try the food as well it all looked super fresh and delish
Try the new passion fruit iced tea!!! you won't regret it

I love the pies from Rockaberry and always order takeout to celebrate a special occasion. Their pie slices are generous and all are delicious. My favorite is caramel fudge and blueberry crumble cheesecake.
Friendly staff! Great coffee and lots of different choices!
Incredible coffee with milk alternatives. It was no Problem to get a Cappuccino with oatmilk. The cafe is small with seating in- and outside, they are also selling merchandise and their own coffee beans.
Bingsoo is similar to ice cream, but it’s made with frozen milk that’s grated and you have the option to choose your topping from the various selections that they have available on the menu.
First time trying bingsoo and I went with 2 flavors. Tiramisu and brownie, both equally delicious and sweet, perfect to enjoy in the summer.
Service was really helpful & friendly. There is limited seating inside and it was pretty full when I went, but there is seating available outside.

Good coffee and breakfast spot in a local neighborhood. Busy spot so be ready to wait for table but it is worth the wait. Many healthy options available as well as sweet cookies and pastries.
Love this spot. I’m here pretty much almost everyday. Nice staff, good ambiance, amazing food. I’m the inventor of the pancakes with 2 fried eggs + fried chicken dish.
Very friendly staff and lots of variety for a quick bite. Great coffee as well!
Such a cute Cafe and sooo good coffees. I have tried their latte and mocha, both are amazing and worth keep going back to. Their coffee art is also on point!
The staff is very friendly and makes great coffee. I understand that there was a recent management change and it shows in both the overall vibe and coffee quality.
Great place for desserts and coffee! We tried the injeolmi bingsoo and had the grapefruit ade : both delicious and refreshing! They play kpop and the decoration is really cute. One downside is the small space, so when it gets busy, you have to takeout. They also do not take credit cards, so bring your debit or cash.
Great tasting cappuccino. Cafe is small but more seating area outside. I would definitely come back to try their other locations.
Everything is so iconic in this cafe. The flavours, the atmosphere, the service. The staffs were so nice and respectful. And every Persian item in the menu that we ordered, was literally its best version. I definitely recommend this place and we’ll be back in the future.
cute little cafe and the food is delicious! Everything is so fresh and tasty! This is my favourite go-to place but this time I ordered online and it is still an excellent experience. I should also talk about their unique and different packaging. Recommend it!
Very good coffee!!!
A nice cafe where to eat well in a nice atmosphere and good music!

I loved this place. Their bagel lives up to Montreal's reputation. They are so good. They actually were the best bagel that we had in the city.
Their maple coffee is a must. I am even craving it now. It has a rich flavor. I wish we had more places like that in the States.
The service was great too. They get the food out quick.

Owner is super sweet, coffee is great. I took the J'ice since it's super hot today and for those who are fans of Tims Ice Cap, it beats it hands down! The taste of the drink is way less sugary and has more flavor🤩 definitely my go to now🙌
The crowd in front of the café caught my attention. So I decided to go in and tried matcha latté. It was good. Next time, to try its shaved ice.
(A suggestion, will be great if credit card is accepted, especially because price is Starbucks-like.)

The food is good. I love the pudding because its cool and soft rice flavor gives me appetite. Besides,the egg and bread are flavorful . However, I have to remove one star because the meal experience is quite poor. The place is congested around the noon and you need to wait inside for a while.
This place can be packed, especially on weekends but it is for a reason. Whether you are dining in or taking out the selection and food offerings are amazing. They were also so friendly and accommodating when making adjustments to the order. I will absolutely be back.
Conveniently located. Best (and sweetest) mocha. Friendly service.
Very cute cozy café on the most busiest street. The café is very easy to access by metro (Lionel Groulx).
Food menu isn't big but enough to enjoy for lunch or brunch (salads and sandwiches). They have a good variety of drinks ( hot or cold). I order a housed smoke salmon salad and it was good. The portion isn't very big (I think it will be only enough for someone who doesn't eat a lot). They also have a little counter of pastries.
The café itself is every small and very crowded. The only thing that is negative was you have to find a seat by yourself. Sometime you don't know if you could have a seat right away by waiting for someone to finish there meal or coffee.

This is one of the best cafe in Guy Concordia area. The place is super cozy and warm, the wifi is great, and the staffs are wonderful. My favorite is Javaccina, its really delicious!
There are some notes (very little note, tho):
1. Sometimes different staffs makes different quality of the same drinks,
2. The toilet kind a far
3. I hope they minimize the usage of plastic, such as change the plastic straw to paper straw

Great place! Great service! The person at the counter suggested their best seller pie and it was awesome. The apple crumb cheese pie was delicious. At the end, we had a chat to thank them for their service and they offered us a glass of cold water and a smile before we left.
Best pie I’ve ever had!! Highly recommend coming here. Staff are so nice and helped me choose what type of pie to get. The strawberry rhubarb pie is amazing!
It’s a quiet Coffeeshop which is great compared to all the coffeeshops around it. The coffee tastes good but I especially liked the mocha they have. I also tried the chocolatine which they freshly bake every morning. It’s delicious! The place is clean, they have wifi and the staff is friendly. It’s recommended if you would like to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee and read a book or study!
It's a cute little place for authentic bingsoo (Korean shaved ice cream). Good Korean music being played in the background.
There was a little miscommunication where the staff made the wrong flavors of bingsoo, but they were so accomodating to make us new ones with the right flavors.

One of my favourite places in Montréal! The atmosphere is so cozy and comforting. It feels as if you were at your aunt's house and about to be served a nice cup of tea and some fresh homemade cake.
The service can be quite slow but everything tastes fresh and delicious so the wait is worth it. Just don't go there if you are in a rush; this place is meant to be enjoyed leisurely.
I recommend the Persian Fog (hot black tea with milk, saffron syrup and pistachio) and the saffron rose cake for a chef's kiss treat! If you are looking for breakfast or lunch their avocado sandwich is also good and the portion is decent.

Mushroom bread, avocado bread.
Vibe and food is great
Always busy not many sitting places. If you want private brunch not optimal. But great food and outside sits are great during summer. Always can takeout and have a little picnic around. There are a few picnic tables nearby!

It is estimated that many friends have been to this shop, only 50 meters away from the art museum. Perfect for friends to meet and talk. Even one person can certainly go! Different from the overall North America and northern Europe simple style here, the interior decoration is strong Middle Eastern flavor, but people feel very comfortable, feel like I went to the Middle East friends home furnishings. Especially winter gives you warm feeling.
👌 Although it says coffee shop, their tea is relatively good (personal opinion) Persian fog and ginger tea are both good and they also have saffron tea. It also has Iranian sandwiches and some specialty desserts. And their service staff is very warm.
🫣 warm reminder:restaurant estimates will be a lot of people over the weekend, so enjoy the quiet friends is expected to be wrong peak travel. And if it's convenient, you can put the dinnerware on the counter in their work room.

Been coming here for years and I was never disappointed! Favorite brownie bingsoo in town (also the only place who has it 😂)
But recently started to take a liking to their macarons as well 👀 i don’t know how but they’re soft and crunchy at the same time, not too sweet, just perfect 😮💨
It’s true that they don’t take credit cards so just prepare cash or use debit card (it’s not that hard 🤨)
10/10 would recommend ✌🏻

The morning staff is amazing. Quick, efficient, friendly - I never worry about mistakes in my order or being late to work with them.
I recently discovered this perfect little cafe.
At first, walking by I just considered it another overpriced cafe in the metro but I was definitely wrong. The coffee is great with many options and the desserts are really good too. The most important part is the kindness of the staff and the ambiance it brings to the place when people are stepping in for their morning coffee. You feel just at home and it makes it worth the starbucks prices. Great job to the staff!

I had heard about this famous Montreal cake shop but had not had a chance to visit before. Their Monkland location is not that big, but is cozy enough to promote a pleasant dessert experience. The staff was very kind the whole time we were there. I’ve had their strawberry shortcake before at my friend’s birthday party last summer.
I remember the cake was yummy and went very well with the summery outdoor theme. Rockaberry’s specialties are their dome-shaped cake and extensive selection. It was difficult to choose what to have for dessert since every cake looked delicious! Finally, we decide on their chocolate noisette cake with a side of cappuccino. The coffee was average, but just one piece of cake was a perfect way to wind down the day with chocolatey, hazelnut flavor. This coming summer, maybe I’ll have their strawberry cake again, but in the meantime I’ll be struggling through Montreal’s snowy, slushy and long winter.

Recently visited Café Cantinova had a tuna sandwich and it was so delicious that had to go back for the same sandwich to taste it again, the place is reopened, and new management kept the place very clean, well maintained & very nicely decorated. Also if you are a music lover you will love this place, you find music equipment displaying, turntable vinyl etc., if you are interested you can buy the product on the spot.
5 star for the quality of the coffee itself. Loved the coffee and the ambiance.
Remote work experience 💯
Great internet and access to plugs 🔌 for everyone. It felt like a cozy, clean and quiet safe space to work for a while with a nice coffee :)

If you looking for cool place to hang out with friends or reading in downtown, then this cafe is one of the best options. They have cool vibe, great coffee and the collassions, the price also pretty good.
However, if you planning to do some work with ur laptop and need charging station, i believe this is not really an option as there is no charging socket, also i found that so many customers coming and out so its kind a not a place for working or studying but again its great place for coffee!

Small coffee shop with good coffee. Homey feeling cafe with under 10 tables. Roaster is 49th parallel. Choice of mild or "old school" roast. "Old school" was strong with chocolate notes? Croissants were okay, soft inside, nothing special. Cute but a little busy if you want to study or chat in quiet. Cortado was $4ish.
The lady making muffins and sandwiches was named Wendy and she was doing everything by herself and was damn good and fast at it too so kudos to that star employee, she deserves a raise, I love the coffee and treats made by Wendy and the staff.
Lovely staff, fast service and great coffee. Azram is always pleasant, courteous and remembers customers orders and names. The rest of the staff is very polite and efficient as well. This is my go-to place for coffee when heading to work. Highly recommend!
Fast service but latte was not done very well. Thought the roast they used tasted very dark and strong, so great if you like that. Personally I like mild to medium roast so this was not to my liking.
The best cafe in Montreal I would have to say! The place is always busy because it's very popular but the line goes quick and they have lots of options to pick from for pastries and croissants. I had the Chai latte and 2 croissants and it was absolutely delicious. I will be back when I come to Montreal again. Great little patio outside for seating and indoor seating options as well.
A very beautiful and a very authentic cafe.
Very cute for a first date and a casual meet and greet. Not at all expensive.
The food and the drinks are to die for.
The persian Tea's are very awesome and traditional. Will definitely come back the next time I am in town.

I always order from them, never disappointed with their quality of cake
or pies, yuum! Having my favourite Chocolate Banana cake on a friday night watching good netflix is “the” thing! Monkland location is quite small compare to other locations, there is only few small spots to sit down but its small and cozy, either for a cute date or nice brunch with a friend! Definitely recommend this place.

This place is my favourite korean dessert place to-go. I am Korean myself, but the things I eat here reminds me of when I was living in Korea. The cakes are so freaking delicious, they have matcha, sweet potatoe, strawberry, blueberry, oreo cakes and so on. If you go there, they sell their cakes by pieces, if you want to order the whole cake, you will have to preorder 2 days in advance
You should definitely try their macarons and their korean shaved-ice dessert with all kinds of toppings. Must-try guys
On their IG they show some pictures of their cake and macarons artwork and yes. they have a dog named Momo, they called their cafe by his name he is adorable!

Pretty good, but I wish they'd focus on being quick (by nature of the location, every customer is trying to get on a train in 4 or 8 minutes). It seems really inefficient that the cashier has to stop taking orders to make breakfast sandwhiches.
We weren’t sure at first about coming here for a quick coffee at around lunchtime on Saturday, but it’s a great thing we followed the neon “espresso” sign in their window. Staff is super friendly and welcoming and the butter croissant…extremely buttery! After speaking with the friendly people here, I’ll likely try to come back again but later in the day for a cocktail, because if they’re anything close to the great coffees we’ll be well-served. Take a look at the attached picture of their menu for a preview. Cheers,
Wonderful staff & good coffee.
The staff I dealt with is Azram. She is very pleasant and took the time to explain to me the types of coffees they have and told me she can make me any type of coffee the way I like it. To be honest I didn't feel like having a coffee. I just stopped to check it out for next tome as I always pass by since Lionel Groulx is my metro station. But because she was so pleasant and patient in dealing with me, I decided to get a Latte. Azram and I ended up having a good chat about various things but she was quick to notice customers if they came in and to tend to them. This to me is an example of a great customer service.
I will be returning for sure.

best coffee roasters, they know how to pull a good shot and the staff is really knowledgeable.
Great bean reccomendations. they're freshly roasted and are amazing when ground up and brewed.
wouldn't stop buying from them.

Highly recommend 100% fantastic.
I always walked passed this cafe, on my way to work, and back home. Never wanted to stop, because the metros convenience stores and cafes are usually over priced.
To my amazement, there was a very kind lady at the till. I grabbed my selection, and ordered my drink. Surprisingly it was way cheaper than I expected, and it tasted better than any other cafes in the metro or around the city. I highly recommend.

I wanted to try a Tapas restaurant and after seeing pictures of the food on Instagram i knew I had to try Cordova. The place unfortunately was not what i expected. I was expected a more cozy, bigger place with actual tables but there was only a couple tiny tables and a couple high stools.
The food was amazing (everything is on the salty side). You need to try the cured meats, cheeses, tomato bread and you definitely have to try the shishito peppers. I ordered a couple cocktails that were delicious as well.
Only thing that bothered me is that everything came out extremely fast. I would suggest you go there for lunch more than to have a romantic date on a Saturday night.
The bill was higher than expected (160$). It was a bit of a shock considering that we barely stayed half hour. The place has a lot of potential but should definitely move to a bigger location. It would make a bigger killing if it was more comfortable and less rushed.
Overall, you should try to joint if you wanna have a light lunch or if you’re in a rush. The tapas are top.
