Review Summary

Café Hélico is widely appreciated for its cute atmosphere, welcoming staff, and high-quality coffee and matcha offerings. Many visitors highlight the breakfast sandwich and various pastries as standout items, while the terrace is frequently described as a lovely place to relax. Despite these positive aspects, some customers note that portions can be small relative to the price, leading to concerns about value. Additional feedback touches on the need for more diverse savory menu options, better accessibility for remote work, and consistent service quality. While the overall vibe is consistently praised as chill and pleasant, occasional inconsistencies in food preparation and mixed experiences regarding the pet-friendly policy suggest varying levels of satisfaction among the regular clientele.

Le sandwich déjeuner avec un espresso c'est un incontournable pour moi

C'est plus un comptoir qu'un resto, mais il y a des places pour d'asseoir & prendre un café relax. Service super chill & agréable.

J'ai pris un cubano & un sandwich-déjeuner. C'était bon, mais j'ai trouvé ça un peu cher pour le format des sandwichs. Aussi, le cubano aurait pu être un peu plus grillé & aplati pour bien faire fondre le fromage.

Content pareil!

My regular spot for the last month! The baristas are always so pleasant & have such great energy. The café itself has a really nice vibe, making it a great place to spend time. The coffee is excellent, & the pastries are just as good.
The only thing I'd love to see is a bit more variety in the savory options & maybe a power outlet or two, because I really enjoy hanging out here & wouldn't mind getting an hour of work done while enjoying my coffee.

This breakfast sandwich could go head-to-head with the best in the city.

Portion of bread was a bit disappointing for 12$ but overall satisfying soup, although the woman who served me didn't specify what the soup of the day was so i'll never know what was inside lol.. nice creamy green soup!

Nice spot with a great atmosphere. The portions are a bit small for the price, so it feels slightly overpriced. Overall, it's a good place, but I'd like to see better value for the money.

Best breakfast sandwich + flat white combo in hochelaga easily. It's not cheap, but totally worth it.
