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.
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.
Je viens de découvrir cet endroit. Il m'a été présenté par mon guide touristique Thom. J'ai adoré cet endroit, quelle place extraordinaire, le décors, l'ambiance & l'accueil wow !

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.
