Le service est exécrable. La dernière fois qu'on est allée, il n'y avait personne mais la femme au comptoir nous ignorait pendant un long moment alors on est partie.
& aujourd'hui, l'homme au comptoir était malpoli & non professionnel:
- On lui parle, il fait comme si il n'entend rien & nous ignore pour parler à des ouvriers qui font des travaux à côté de la nourriture (top!)
- On répète encore & encore car on veut savoir les parfums des crèmes glacés, c'est apparement toujours trop difficile d'afficher les noms de toutes les saveurs, il répond finalement qu'il sait pas d'un air hautain. Doit la goûter pour nous dire ce que c'est.
- 12$ pour un parfum dans une cup + un cornet, la crème glacée était trop sucrée & a terminé à la poubelle (après juste une cuillère)
Revoyez votre attitude. Vous ne savez même pas mettre de la crème glacée correctement dans une cup & encore moins communiquer avec la clientèle.
Dernière fois que je vais là-bas.
A lovely spot in Little Italy with amazing gelato, coffee, & breakfast options. The gelato is rich, creamy, & full of authentic flavor. The breakfast dishes are beautifully presented, fresh, & absolutely delicious.
The staff are friendly & attentive, & the space is clean, bright, & very inviting. This has become a regular place for our family to enjoy quality food & relaxing moments together. Highly recommended!
Café Gelato Saint-Laurent est incroyable ! Leur gelato est crémeux, savoureux & fait avec des ingrédients de qualité. La crème glacée est tout aussi exceptionnelle, avec des saveurs riches & bien équilibrées. Le service est toujours chaleureux & attentionné, on se sent vraiment bien accueilli à chaque visite. C'est devenu mon endroit préféré pour une petite douceur - je recommande à 100 % !
Nothing special, over-sweetened & incredibly expensive. Pictured is an 8$ cup of pistachio icecream. Laughable. You can walk about 5 mins in another direction & find better for less.
Their gelato & coffee is good but a bit pricey for what you get. They should really have more gelato flavours too or do some sort of rotation to keep things interesting. I gave only two stars because Ive been during the day & at night as well as during busy periods & slow periods. I noticed that service is inconsistent, & I would argue that customer service is even more important than the quality of your products. Some staff are friendly & knowledgeable while others are very rude for some reason. It happened a few times that the cashier assumed I was paying debit without even asking me how I'm paying & does not even say the price. Then she acts annoyed when I tell her I'm paying cash. The ambiance is a lot more pleasant during the day. The staff is less attentive during busier periods & nights. A lot of my friends want to try this place but to be honest it's a subpar experience each time. This place could thrive if they hired workers who know how to interact with customers properly.
Delicious spot for gelato & Italian desserts in Montreal! Café Gelato offers a great selection of creamy, flavourful gelato along with other classic Italian treats. The interior has a cozy seating area, & there's also a patio outside, perfect for enjoying your dessert on a sunny day. A lovely place to take a break & treat yourself!
