Review Summary

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.

Is it worth a visit? Yes

Saw the reviews for this quaint little coffee shop online so we had to make our way down to Café Capybara. It wasn't what I was expecting.

One young lady at the front taking & making drink orders. While waiting for our drinks to be made, I walked around & although there were some cute keychains, headbands & other things you can craft; it appeared like they ran out of inventory. At the back it seemed like they were getting ready to hold a soap or keychain making lesson.

We ordered the hot matchabary & the pistachios in coconut water. I used two sugars in the matcha, which was perfectly?!!😋
A nice little spot for young kids while waiting for their parents' drinks to be made.

What a lovely place!

We showed up unannounced one evening a few weeks ago. The place was fully booked, yet Jules & Bean took the time to show us around, help our kids pick out some fun gear to decorate, & they even managed to score us a table.l eventually.

What was supposed to be a bit of window shopping turned into an hour & a half of fun, with both kids ecstatic with their creations.

Thanks for a great time!
