Review Summary

Café Capybara has garnered a reputation as a charming and unique destination, widely celebrated for its cozy, capybara themed atmosphere that appeals to fans of the animal and those seeking a quirky aesthetic. Many visitors praise the wide selection of creative, flavorful drinks and the presence of adorable merchandise, often highlighting the added value of the on site DIY craft workshops as a major highlight. While the majority of guests appreciate the friendly and accommodating service, feedback on the experience is somewhat divided; some patrons find the pricing high for the quality of items provided, and others have noted inconsistencies in beverage preparation or limited seating availability. Despite mixed remarks regarding the menu depth and the occasional busy atmosphere, the majority of visitors leave with positive impressions, frequently recommending the space as a fun, family friendly spot for a quick caffeine fix or a creative outing in Montreal.

The drink was great (I ordered a latte), the staff was very friendly. Although the cafe looks good inside, the boxes & damaged walls ruin the atmosphere, that's the only complaint. The children's chair in form of the plant is broken. I wish the best of luck to this cafe.

It was my first time visiting this café, & I absolutely loved the capybara-themed atmosphere-it's incredibly cute & cozy! I honestly came for the theme, but the drinks were an even bigger surprise. The coffee was much better than I expected. I ordered the Black Sesame Viennois & the Oreo Taro Milk, & both were delicious. Definitely a place I'll come back to!

Not welcoming from the get go. The drinks are okay but not worth the price I paid I think it was 11$ for one drink. The spot is well decorated but it's not a sit in luckily we somehow went when there wasn't other people & got to sit. I wish they sold the tiramisu separate since that's the one thing I liked.

The drink wasn't amazing, but it was alright. The service could have been better, though. There were two staff members, & the taller one was really nice. The other one, however, had a'bad energy' vibe ,not rude, just a grumpy face & always seemed tired.

It has only one chair.

The drinks were pretty mediocre, & the service wasn't nice at all. They acted cold, didn't recommend anything, & didn't even offer the smallest smile. The variety of toys isn't very big, but they are cute.

The service was the bare minimum. My friend & I walked in 5 min before the opening, so I told the cashier not to worry because we're not going to order anything until the opening time. Then, she made us feel unwelcome by staring at us & not saying anything so we left to eat lunch next door because they have no food on their menu anyways. If you don't want clients in the store before the opening time, why are the doors unlocked?
I ordered the pistachio bonbon à la noix de coco. I thought the drinks would be good since they have chosen to focus on that. It was basically cream drowned in coconut water with big chunks of pistachio on top. I paid 8$ for a large. I really did not like it, it was barely drinkable & the pistachio chunks would clog the straw. Since I didn't want to waste my money, I asked the employee for some kind of drizzle to drown out the taste. She had difficulty understanding what I was saying & responded by saying that the drizzles I could see on the counter were not for sale. Finally, I brought the drink home & mixed it myself with chocolate syrup. My friend ordered the milk & strawberries tea, which was better than mine but too strong & too sweet. Also, the music was a bit too loud for comfortable conversation.
They have a small but cute collection of capybara merch but it's nothing compared to the wide variety you can find at Miniso, right down the street.
