Review Summary

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.

Truly a spectacular café, a jewel in fact
Fabulous food sandwiches & pastries
Friendly & down to earth staff
Exceptional music & sound distribution environment... most hi-fi enthusiasts will have a jaw-dropping experience listening at Gotsoul... as this shop is part café part vintage HiFi museum... run by Jojo Flores internationally recognized DJ & hi-fi collector & musical curator...
Drop-in play some Chess say hi to Mike or David or Jojo if he's there (he often is)
The chicken sandwich is 💎💎💎 & the scones are Out-Of-This-World

I loved the café's atmosphere, great music & amazing decor. However, when I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk, I was served one with regular milk, despite being lactose intolerant. The waitress realized her mistake when she saw me drinking it, apologized, & replaced it.

What felt off was her attitude. She dropped off the new coffee without a word & later seemed to avoid eye contact as I left. Mistakes happen, but owning them with professionalism makes all the difference.

I like trying all the great coffee that montreal has to offer, I was intrigued & found a spot just outside. I tried the cortado & flat white. For. 6$ flat white i expected a little more love. The milk was just heated there wasn't any micromousse, & when I asked about it I was told that only lattes have microfoam. I must admit it has great atmosphere, I entered to try the coffee, but I was disappointed by the coffee & by the service. polite just surprised with shortness of the There is magic to good microfoam it changes the composition of a coffe - when I took the top off it just looked like heated up milk with coffee & for that I don't need to pay 6$. I have also worked as a barista. I was surprised to have been responded like that. Anyways here's what I found maybe the barista can find it useful. "A flat white is a coffee drink consisting of espresso with microfoam (steamed milk with small, fine bubbles & a glossy or velvety consistency). It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk than a caffè latte, & a thinner layer of microfoam than a cappuccino" I didn't try the food or by vinyl, but very nicely decorated it does have great atmosphere. Congratulations for that.
