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.
Pretty good coffee for a non-speciality coffee shop. I had their cinammon buns once & it was not a good experience. Probably a couple days old, very dry & quite tasteless. I have heard their sandwiches are good but haven't tried any. Pretty expensive prices overall.
I am hard to impress, but Carlos surely won my heart. This officially became my go to place in downtown Montreal. The charming atmosphere, the very good quality food & the vibrating heart of the staff surely won me. Merci beaucoup & à bientôt !

THE BEST ESPRESSO I HAVE EVER HAD!!! No aftertaste, no bitter taste, rich flavor & just perfect… The pastries are fresh & delicious too, I love this place, 5 stars well deserved!!!
It's a lovely spot. Cute & cozy, it feels like Europe! Delicious coffee, yummy sandwiches, & dessert. The three-cheese pizza features bleu cheese as one of the three cheeses. That was a little strong for me on pizza-I would not recommend it. I definitely would go back.
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.

THIS PLACE NAILS IT WITH THEIR COFFEE!!! The beans are super fresh, & you can really taste the difference. Whether you're into espresso or a mocha, the flavors are always rich & with just the right kick. No harsh aftertaste, just clean, delicious coffee every time. The service is friendly & quick, & the pastries are the perfect complement to your brew. Highly recommend if you're serious about your coffee☕️❤️
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.
Very average food, got the egg croissant & ham & cheese. The croissant itself was good; but the lettuce in the sandwhich is random & didn't pair well for flavour & texture. Flat white was too milky.
