Across reviews, Café Capybara comes across as a charming, ultra cute cafe centered on capybaras, offering a cozy vibe, a wide drinks menu with items like matcha, pistachio latte, taro, guava, coconut water based drinks, Seoul coffee, and specialties such as matcha creme brulee and dalgona style drinks, plus a back craft space and a rich array of capybara plushies and themed merchandise that many say adds to the fun. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and family friendly, with friendly staff who are often English friendly, though a few notes mention busy periods and understaffing that can make service slow, and some visits point to limited seating for casual coffee drinkers or occasional menu limitations. Overall the sentiment is that Café Capybara is a must visit for capybara lovers, a place to relax and enjoy creative drinks and crafts, with the decor and merch elevating the experience, and many expressing plans to return to try more flavors and participate in workshops.
Had a great first impression of this café yesterday afternoon!
I tried the matcha à la goyave (spent around 7-8 dollars) which was a first for me, & it did not disappoint. My friend tried the matcha crème brûlée. They offer a wide variety of drinks, some of them I have never heard before, & everything on the menu looked worth trying, I would definitely go back to try the rest.
The space is cute, you can buy plushies there & I think there are also DIY activities/workshops available in the back, but I'm not sure if it's a walk-in or you need to reserve.
The coffee shop is located right in the heart of downtown, very close to Concordia.

Such a lovely café! The atmosphere is cozy & charming, with great coffee & wonderful service. It's the perfect spot to relax & enjoy a peaceful moment.Highly recommend!🥰
Super café créatif aux couleurs des capybaras. Les cafés viennois & chocolats chauds sont très bons !
On a fait une coque d'iPhone & une étiquette pour la valise dans le Tututuspace (espace créatif à l'arrière). Le service est très bon ! Pensez à réserver votre rdv à l'avance car il y a beaucoup de monde en fin de semaine.

We came here to partake in the workshop in the back, unaware of this cafe being in the same store. Tried the pomme Verde latte. The drink itself was much better than I expected, I would love to come back & try more flavours!
