Cafe Gotsoul earns praise for its chill vibe, great music, and friendly, accommodating staff that make the space welcoming. Coffee and pastries are repeatedly highlighted, with standout drinks and a varied pastry selection that pair well with the atmosphere. The interior is stylish and distinctive, echoing a record shop with vinyl, a gramophone, and a small in-house DJ setup that enhances the experience and hosts listening parties and events. Guests often feel at home, noting a nostalgic, living-room vibe and a sense of comfort during visits. Service is generally strong and professional, though a rare order slip can occur, usually resolved with a quick apology and correction. Pricing is mentioned by some as a downside for certain items, but many feel the overall value, ambiance, and music justify it. Overall, Cafe Gotsoul is a unique spot for coffee lovers and music fans, delivering a memorable vibe and experience.
I'm extremely happy with my experience. The staff was very professional, friendly, & made me feel comfortable throughout my audio appointment. Mike was especially outstanding - incredibly professional, extremely knowledgeable about audio equipment, & even impressive when it came to making great coffee. The team did an amazing job from start to finish & delivered high-quality work. Top marks all around. Amazing man.
Love this place! The music theme is super cute & they did a very good job of making the café look like a record shop (you can actually buy records). The coffee is also great, & the service is good every time. Definitely a favourite of mine.
It's been a while since I set foot in this coffee shop but every time I do, I feel like as if I'm sitting in my own living-room of nostalgia. As a 90's kid, a lot of memories come back. From the beautiful display of funky jazz, R&B & soul vinyl collection & the JVC radios that make you feel like as if you are a part of a'Spike Lee Joint' to the in house DJ playing hits that only my Aunt would play during family BBQ's, this coffee shop is basically a Time Machine back to the coolest decade! Not to mention, my latte was perfect!! Overall, Got Soul is a tasteful coffee shop that if the Beastie Boys were from Montreal, they would give it a major shout out! Giving this place a 5 star just ain't enough!

I'm always on the lookout for discovering new places, & this time, I stepped into this café-no wait, this museum! The Italian owner of the café (Mike),is a pleasant yet serious man, the furniture is original, & most interesting of all, there's music, a gramophone, speakers, vinyl records… all of which turn this place into a café-gallery-museum. As for the coffee-just imagine how good it must be when an Italian is the one making it! & don't forget to try the donuts & samosas too.
Pretty cool concept for a cafe. They said they do listening parties, which sounds fun.
Coffee & pastries passable & definitely not a highlight but the staff were friendly. Obviously the most unique thing about this cafe is the sound systems & vinyls & streetwear on sale. Great atmosphere, probably better at nights.
Wow this is an amazing place. Great coffee, great service, good snacks & amazing vibes supported by great music. Could stay here all day. Very highly recommended
Best coffee in the city, espresso is properly pulled (rare), machine is properly calibrated (rare), & staff is nice. On top the music is a vibe & major bonus points for the special Sunday mornings in the summer ;)
Great iced chai late. Great friendly baristas. Great ambiance. Great music. Best coffee shop ever.(Cool clothing too loved the y-3 hat & the'comme des GOTSOUL' shirt)
