Café Castel is widely recognized for its beautiful European inspired atmosphere, featuring a bright, cozy interior with large windows that make it an ideal spot for working, studying, or relaxing. Many visitors appreciate the diverse selection of high quality coffee, flavorful pastries, and unique specialties like espresso martinis. While experiences with menu variety and service speed can occasionally fluctuate depending on how busy the café gets, the staff frequently receives praise for their kindness, helpfulness, and welcoming nature. Located conveniently in the heart of the city near campus, this spot remains a favorite destination for those seeking a charming and comfortable environment to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.
It's close to McGill campus & has a very nice place to work, with large windows that make it very bright during the summer.
Open longer than many local cafés, which is a bonus!
Cakes are delicious & usually fresh.
The only problem is when it gets crowded, with usually one or two staff who are both baristas & responsible for taking care of the place, you might end up with tables left unclean & no one taking the dishes or leftovers.
The cafe has a nice cozy vibe for studying or hanging out. I ordered a mocha latte but the price I paid for a medium, I expected a bit of a larger size. It's bit on the sweeter side but I like the consistency with the steamed milk. Service was alright, the guy who served me seemed a bit grumpy. At least they have a student discount which is nice.
Les cafés sont bons & grands. La déco & l'ambiance est agréable pour étudier avec une très belle luminosité! Seule chose la température en hiver est instable probablement à cause de la partie vitrée, j'ai eu soit trop froid ou trop chaud.
Very cozy, a bit dark, & tad out of style. Ordered a simple chai latte, stayed for over an hour was not bothered. Someone that seemed like a teacher was correcting/ writing down stuff. Idk its giving that one line in'La Boheme'.
Intrigued enough to try it again. Might be a sublime spot if Students actually dont still know about it. The real struggle of any cafe enjoyer is needing space & the place being too popular/crowded so you cant stay too long. Idk this brought back memories.
Très bel endroit. Café pas comparable à un bon café (j'ai pris un cortado). Par contre l'employée qui ne parle pas français c'est pas acceptable. Puis les contenants jetables pour consommation sur place en 2025 à Montréal, c'est pas très responsable.
Aussi, il y a pleins d'options de lait d'avoine locales & EXCELLENTES. Essayez les 3 meilleurs « barista » : earth's own, oatbox ou Natura. Ils sont 💯 & québécois!
Quelques options véganes pour les desserts & pâtisseries aussi, ça serait bien.. 🥺
*** Réponse au propriétaire: Merci pour votre réponse détaillée. Je comprends & partage votre avis quand à l'immigration & l'apprentissage du français, mais l'employée m'a littéralement dit qu'elle ne parlait pas français. Ce n'est pas comme s'il était fonctionnel ou proche de l'être. & ce grand manque de respect pour les francophones (qui vivent chez eux dans un endroit majoritairement francophone ou sinon bilingue) ne passe pas. Vous ne pouvez pas choisir un employé qui ne sait pas maîtriser suffisamment le français pour faire du service à la clientèle à Montréal. Je refuse d'encourager un commerce qui fait ça.
Quand au cortado, le lait était moussé grossièrement (pas de micro mousse) & j'ai plus eu l'impression d'avoir un macchiato. Je n'ai jamais eu ça dans un bon café. J'ai donc conclu que vous n'étiez pas un endroit spécialisé dans les bons cafés, mais c'est correct si des gens aiment ça comme ça. Pour ma part, je n'ai pas aimé mon expérience & je ne peux pas recommander cet endroit. De plus, le lait végétal est chargé 1$!! C'est abusé & discriminatoire, même. Le lait (d'avoine) pour café ne coûte pas beaucoup plus cher que du lait de vache. Certains cafés engagés & novateurs l'offrent par défaut, sans supplément. Ça c'est c'est du gros wow 5 étoiles.
Je viendrai peut-être faire un tour dans le futur voir si ça s'est amélioré. Merci
If I could give six stars, I would ...one extra for how much my taste buds danced in confusion & delight. Cafe Castle is where coffee meets therapy & croissants meet emotional support. I ordered a latte that was so good I briefly considered proposing to the barista ...not for love, but for consistent caffeine supply.
The vibe? Somewhere between'European art student' &'I own three journals but finish none.' The food? Let's just say my plate looked like it had been through a natural disaster when I was done.
If you're in Montreal & don't go to Cafe Castle, you're doing breakfast wrong.
Really nice cafe, especially for it being attached to a hotel. For some reason, by hopes were low but my expectations were for sure exceeded. The coffee was a very reasonable price, & very delicious. The croissant was also good. Service was good, nothing incredible but nothing below good. I would be willing come back here again if I return to Montreal, & I normally don't repeat coffee shops unless the quality is incredible.
