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.

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.

Such a cute café with great coffee & amazing pastries. I think it looked better before the renovation, & I miss the restaurant next door that used to be part of Helico. It was beautiful & great for working or meeting friends in the morning.

im litterally grieving the old concept. its nothing like the photos anymore. It's cold, there are no more places to sit. It feels like it's just became the back of Helico restaurant. It's like where you should line up for the bathroom, with a little coffee counter as an extra. & you also cant ask to sit in the restaurant if the (2) seats are taken. Either you use the bathroom or you order a coffee & get out !

Today I tried this one, it was okey. The pumpkin late was very sugary & you barely have a taste of the pumpkin spices, they told me there is no sugar free option on that coffee ☕️💀 It's calm but the tables are kinda wobbly & there are a lot of movement from the kitchen to the tables, I don't recommend this to work or study 📚
