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.

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 ;)
Very unique café with good drinks! They actually host several events, like disco nights or card games, so I'd definitely recommend contacting them in advance to plan your visit for an even better experience. The only downside might be the prices - I wanted to get a matcha latte, but 7.50 CAD (I think pre-tax) was just too much for me, so I ended up having a good seltzer instead.
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)
What an amazing place!
Just enjoyed a great coffee & pastry & when Mike heard I was in town to see Kraftwerk, he dropped the needle on some classics for me.
Go & experience this unique space … you will not be disappointed!
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.

Great atmosphere, bad coffee, rude barista. EDIT: We probably were there for less than 20 minutes, & we ordered two lattes (one normal, one pistachio) & the pistachio lemon biscotti. & we did not bring a beverage from another place.
Petit café très agréable & calme avec une décoration très soignée dans le thème. Le service fut impeccable avec d'excellentes suggestions pour les enfants & les cafés étaient parfaits! Un joli petit endroit pour se prendre un bon café dans le quartier.
