Review Summary

Café Hélico is widely celebrated for its high-quality coffee, exceptional matcha, and delicious assortment of pastries and breakfast sandwiches, often described as some of the best in Montreal. Visitors frequently praise the friendly service, relaxing atmosphere, and pleasant terrace, making it a popular neighborhood destination. However, opinions on the space are mixed, with some patrons mourning the loss of the previous interior concept and noting concerns regarding limited seating, inconsistent portion sizes, and occasional service delays. While the overall experience is consistently viewed as high-quality, some feedback highlights a desire for better maintenance of the furniture and stricter policies regarding pets inside the establishment.

First of all, the service was great, they had answers to all my questions & were happy to help. The matcha was the best I've ever had & the quality was excellent, also they added their own syrup along with maple syrup, which made it even better. The little pastries were really good too! It's a really cute café, I highly recommend it :))

Gorgeous cafe tucked away in a hidden spot. The best Matcha Lemonade I have had in the city (order the Matchamonade). It was stunning.

J ai pris un sandwich au tofu pour dîner, il mesurait 4 pouces. La pâte de tofu grise n arrivait pas à tenir dans le petit morceau de pain dur. & le petit morceau de kimchi n était pas assez puissant pour me faire oublier le prix monstrueux de 16$ + tx & pourboire & mon estomac toujours vide. Je suis allée souvent par le passé & j aimais la qualité & le service qui justifiait le prix c est vraiment rire des clients de servir ça.
