Review Summary

Café Hélico comes across as a cute, cozy spot with good coffee and a solid array of pastries and breakfast options, including a tasty lunch sandwich and a croissant; the service is praised for being friendly and efficient, even in a small space, and the atmosphere is described as calm with a sunny terrace by many. The renovations and changes have left some patrons missing the old Montreal vibe, while others appreciate the brighter space; portions and prices vary, with some notes that certain items are generous and tasty while others feel a bit small for the cost. A few reviews mention isolated issues such as a croissant arriving cold or slow takeout service, and there is some debate about dogs inside, but the overall sentiment remains positive and many plan to return.

Bread pudding was FIRE Dirty chai with oat milk was sadly not good- tasted like spiced water. Pumpkin spice latte was aight. Staff was very sweet & friendly. Overall cute place with nice people, maybe breakfast options are good? Our coffees just didn't hit.

Beautiful cappuccino, light fluffy cinnamon roll & FLAVORFUL breakfast sandwich. Worth the walk for a pre-botanical garden/olympic park breakfast!

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 🥰
