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.

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.

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.

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.
