Café Castel is described as a warm, inviting spot that blends European charm with modern comfort, featuring bright spaces, big windows and tasteful décor that invite lingering. The coffee is consistently well received, with well made lattes, rich espressos and smooth cappuccinos accompanied by attractive latte art, and a pastry case with croissants, tiramisu and other sweet treats that pair nicely with drinks. The atmosphere is often noted for being cozy, quiet enough to work or study, yet lively enough to feel social, with friendly, attentive staff and occasional discounted moments that enhance the visit. The menu covers a range of sweet and savory options, and the space functions well as a cafe by day and a relaxed bar in the evening, making it a favorite stop for many in the area.
I visited this café yesterday & tried their Tiramisu cake. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with a real Tiramisu - neither in taste nor in texture. Honestly, it didn't even taste good as a regular cake. I was really disappointed, especially because a single slice cost $9.95. For that price, I expected something much better. Sadly, it was the worst Tiramisu I've ever had. Definitely not worth it.

We particularly enjoyed the refreshing Black Lemonade & the piquant Bloody Spicy Orange.
They also have a list of new beers & wines available that we are eager to try, as well as smoothies, lattes, coffee, sandwiches, salads, pastries, & cakes!
Located in downtown Montreal, it has a very unique interior design reminiscent of European alleys & a full balcony above the counter doubling as a glass rack.
The wonderful solarium-style windows offer not only constant rays but also a view of the city's core. One of the rare cafés in Montreal to be open in the evening & selling alcohol. Its comfortable atmosphere & long list of delicious items to choose from make it a great option for a quick stop or a more relaxed occasion.
Café Castle has such a relaxed, cozy vibe - the kind of place you can sit for hours without noticing the time pass. The coffee is great, the atmosphere is peaceful, & everything just feels easy. Hiba & Talia were lovely - friendly, thoughtful, & made the whole experience feel even more comfortable. It's rare to find a spot that gets both the vibe & the service just right. Will definitely be coming back.

One of my favorite cafes in the city! The staff are always warm & friendly, over time they treat you like a friend 😁
The pastries & sandwiches are fresh & delicious, & the coffee never disappoints, they have decaf coffee so you can sleep peacefully at night 😆.
I also love the big windows perfect for relaxing & watching the street.
A cozy spot I always look forward to visiting.
Très bonne expérience au Café Castel! Ce n'est pas la première fois que je venais ici, ni la dernière fois! Merci à Alex & à Laurette pour leur service ! 😁
Petit café parfait après une balade au mont royal. Les tasses sont d’une grande capacité & le cappuccino & chai tea latte était très bon. Uniquement un service au bar.
Le café servi ici est tout simplement incroyable, je reviens toujours tellement c'est wow! & croyez-moi, j'en ai essayé des cafés à Montréal! Je viens souvent avec des amis, & tout le monde dit la même chose : "Jamais goûté un café aussi bon!" Cappuccino, Mocha, Espresso, Latté... tout essayé... bien équilibré, riche en saveurs, sans être trop fort ni trop amer. Il est évident que ce café est frais & préparé avec passion & expertise, & cela se ressent dès la première tasse. Un incontournable pour les vrais amateurs de café!

I truly appreciate the atmosphere of this place - it has the charm of a small, cozy Italian café. My London Fog was delightful, though I found the food to be a bit too oily for my taste. However, my experience was somewhat overshadowed by the service. When I ordered the London Fog, I was informed that it would not be served in a cup to avoid extra cleaning, which I completely understood. The issue arose when I asked a senior staff member, kindly, if it would be possible to clean a table so I could sit with my friends. Instead of a polite response, he waved me off & said, "No, we are only two," before walking away. Thankfully, a younger staff member stepped in & assured me he would take care of it once he finished serving his current customers. While waiting, I overheard the senior staff member complaining to the younger staff about being too busy to accommodate us. The younger staff member reassured him that it wouldn't take long. I must admit, I was disappointed by the interaction. While I understand that staffing can be challenging, especially during busy hours, it seems unwise to have only two staff members available when it's clear there will be high traffic. This left the staff under significant pressure, which ultimately impacted their ability to provide basic customer service, such as keeping tables clean. I hope that, in the future, the senior staff will recognize that maturity & professionalism aren't solely defined by age, but by the way one handles situations & treats others.
J'ai fait un crochet à ce café lors de ma promenade sur le Mont Royal. L'endroit est très joli & lumineux. Parfait pour une pause café !! Par contre, je ne recommande pas pour la nourriture.
We visited this cafe in January 2024. The weather was very cold & the cafe was cozy & warm. The owner was very attentive & nice man. We came back here again in October with warm memories of a huge cake in January, & are happy to visit again. Really cozy cafe in the center of Montreal, with delicious coffee, cake & croissant. Will definitely come back again, your guests from Calgary, Germany & Ukraine ☺️
Super cute little cafe, with a great view & nice lighting. Food & drinks are always on point, & it's calm enough to study but also great for a conversation with friends. Very well located! I recommend when in downtown.
