Café Constance signé Bazin is widely praised for its aesthetic, cozy, and sophisticated atmosphere, making it a popular destination for coffee lovers, remote workers, and food enthusiasts alike. Visitors frequently highlight the high quality of the menu, particularly the pistachio tartlets, avocado toast, and various brunch offerings, which are noted for their presentation and flavor. While the interior design and central location near the metro are frequently described as charming and convenient, some guests find the space smaller than expected, noting that it can become crowded and loud during peak hours. Though most reviews celebrate the warm and professional service, experiences regarding the pace and attentiveness of the staff can vary, and while it is generally considered a top-tier spot for working or casual dining, some diners suggest that the restaurant side of the business may feel different from a traditional cafe setting.
I had a very disappointing experience at this café, which unfortunately does not reflect well on Montréal's café culture, especially for students looking for a calm place to study or spend time.
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. Although the café looked nice & somewhat'fancy,' we quickly felt out of place due to the general attitude of the staff. We were a group of five, & while three people ordered normally, two of us initially chose not to order anything. A staff member (who appeared to be in a managerial or ownership role) approached us in a very rude & confrontational manner, insisting that we had to order something. The tone used made us feel uncomfortable & pressured, which immediately created a negative experience.
Because of this pressure, we ended up ordering anyway just to be able to stay & study. However, the overall service & attitude remained unpleasant throughout our visit.
Later on, we were told we could not consume small personal snacks we had brought (simple crackers), which we understood, but the way it was enforced felt unnecessarily harsh & unfriendly, especially given the already tense atmosphere.
On top of that, the drinks we ordered did not meet expectations. The chai latte, which we specifically asked about before ordering, was described as having a strong chai flavor. In reality, it tasted like a plain milk drink with very little chai presence, which felt misleading compared to what was promised.
Overall, the experience was disappointing due to the rude interactions, poor atmosphere, lack of hospitality, & overpriced, underwhelming products. Multiple similar reviews online also mention rude service & poor ambiance, (I also seen, micro-racism , straight Racism, pressure abuse, verbal aggression & much more than a'Montreal' cafe should NOT have at all..which unfortunately & obviously reflects what we experienced as well. & this do not reflect Montreal cafe i do not know who managed, that but he/she/it should be ashamed.
This café feels far from being a welcoming or comfortable place, especially for students or anyone looking for a relaxed environment to work or study. & I sincerely think of making a higher complain & calling the mapaq for the lack of salubrity & also have to involve OCP/OPC, Office of Consumer Protection, being a member myself, it is going to be a personal case believe me.
Downtown independent coffee, giving me life. I am a silent monster without some quality coffee. The latte & a cortado made me smile. 31st May 2026 last day before their break so had to grab some beans to go.

As you enter, leaving behind the festive that Places des Festivals is well known for, you find a quiet ambiance accompanied by a gentle jazz house playlist. From the aesthetic of the place & to the waiters/waitresses, everything is quite exquisite! The customer service was lovely, big thanks to Aoife & her crew! The coffee was delightful & the burger is a personal favorite. A nice tinge of spicy to keep your day going 💪
Venant assez régulièrement à Montréal, je tiens toujours à découvrir de nouveaux cafés & j'avais entendu beaucoup de bien de celui-ci. Le décor est envoûtant & chaleureux, surtout par un dimanche pluvieux d'avril. La nourriture était délicieuse & le service impeccable. Je le recommande sans hésiter.
Horrible expérience à ce café. Déjà en rentrant, le gérant ou le manager nous fixe bizarrement pour aucune raison. Nous nous sentions pas bienvenus, c'est très grave de se comporter de la sorte avec des clients... à en voir les commentaires nous comprenons mieux pourquoi. Plusieurs clients racisés ont la même expérience...
