Café Chiado28 offers a modern industrial space with a very high ceiling that feels cozy and spacious. The atmosphere is relaxing and well suited to studying or working, with friendly and helpful staff. Coffee tends to lean toward dark roasts with strong, balanced lattes, and other drinks such as chai latte and cappuccino are available. Food and pastries are noted as tasty, including options like an egg croissant and pastel de nata, with vegetarian choices available. The cafe supports long study sessions with plenty of seating on different floors and reliable wifi, though cleanliness issues on the second floor are mentioned by some. Parking can be limited and may require city meters or navigating residential restrictions, and while the overall impression is a cute and calm spot for studying with good drinks and friendly staff, maintenance caveats are noted.
Bon service, mais souvent drabe & sans sourire. Il faudrait que le staff de café/restaurant sache une fois pour tous qu'il est essentiel de saluer chaque client qui rentre.

The atmosphere of the cafe is very nice: very cute interior, very cozy. Their natas are also very tasty! Their tea lattes, however, are very lackluster...their chaï latte is a teabag in hot milk for $6.25, which is expensive & not very tasty for a drink made without a proper tea latte mix...drinks were a bit disappointing, but everything else was quite nice 👍🏽
I love the vibes, beautiful mezzanine & decor, best natas I've had outside of Brazil, & staff is always pleasant. My daughter goes to eat lunch there often. We love it!!
Quel parfait café pour une journée tempête avec ces grandes belles devantures vitrées. Excellent café, personnels très souriants & ouverture à l'heure. Merci beaucoup.

Looking for a new cafe around the Beaubien metro & found a cafe that's still open on Dec 31 before New Year's Eve. The cafe architecture combines the modern & the industrial designs with a very high ceiling, making the cafe look cozy & spacious. The atmosphere also feels relaxing & good to do some works or study in the cafe too. The barista also friendly & helpful. The latte taste strong & delicious. I discovered later that usually, some cafes are using light coffee beans. But in here, they use a dark coffee beans, which is much more stronger & what i also prefer too. I can consider to come here again if i pass by this area in the future.
We came to Cafe Chiado this morning (Monday) because Google Maps says you open at 7:30, but at 7:45 it was still closed. No sign, no update to the opening hours, & it was -15°C outside. Two other people also showed up & left disappointed. It feels really disrespectful to customers not to update your hours if you're going to be closed.
Great atmosphere to study! Spent almost a full day there studying. Frédéric the barista was extremely nice & helpful about the vegetarian options! I will definitely go again & I 100% recommend this little café for anyone looking a cute & calm study spot with good food, great drinks & nice staff!

Most cafes I've been to in the area usually have a lot of light roasts, this place seems to lean more towards dark which is what I prefer. Great coffee & cool little spot, food is serviceable if you're in a pinch.
Très beau café, chaleureux & accueillant ! L'ambiance est parfaite pour étudier ou juste relaxer, il y a pas mal de place autant en haut qu'en bas. Le service était super sympa, le personnel souriant. J'ai pris un croissant aux oeufs, vraiment délicieux & un cappuccino bien équilibré. Endroit propre, calme & bien décoré. Franchement, un super spot à découvrir à Montréal !
Lors de ma premiere visite ...j ai adore ..tres beau decor ...service impeccable ...le café est excellent ....& le croissant suculentas...je recommande tres fortement cet endroit...
Très cool café! Je suis venue une journée de pluie intense & je me suis tout de suite sentie réconfortée. Grandes tables pour étudier pendant les finaux ainsi que petites tables. 2 étages & ambiance sympa.
Shoutout à la barista pour sa playlist d'enfer. Un petit truc: le chai latté n'est pas le meilleur (pas assez goût chai selon moi). Allez-y!!
