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.

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

This is the dream corner cafe nestled in a quiet unassuming neighborhood. However, the offerings are anything but ordinary. The usual suspects of pastries don't disappoint, but the real distinctions are the savory dishes cooked from the same kitchen as the acclaimed sister restaurant Helicopter. You can taste a preview of it at Helico's abridged menu of small plates offered from morning through the afternoon, which means lunch can start as early as breakfast time. On my visit the plates du jour included potatoes with smoked egg, ratatouille with peaches, eggplant tempura with a miso cream, tomato salad with croissant croutons & kambucha dressing. Their coffee selections are also not to be overlooked, an essential accompaniment to the inevitable dessert.

Breakfast Sandwich with bacon is the best food I have ever eaten. I was recommended this cafe by a local, & he hit the nail on the head. The cashier was very kind & patient with me, & patiently helped me understand the menu as I don't speak French. She recommended me the sandwich, & I'm so glad she did! I sat to eat by the Cafe back of house entrance & was delighted to see the employees be so friendly with each other as they prepare the restaurant side for dinner service Phenomenal food, relaxing vibes 🥰
