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.

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.

Nous étions à la recherche d'un café pour un petit moment de détente. Arrivés sur place, nous étions un peu perdus, la seule indication du café est le nom écrit en petit dans la deuxième porte.

Le local est très petit mais il y a de la place disponible pour s'asseoir. Le café est bien entretenu & propre, mais les chaises sont pas mal abîmées & tachées.

J'ai commandé un matcha latté ainsi qu'un croissant aux amandes. Le service était bon, rapide & professionnel. J'ai été agréablement surpris qu'il y ait un service au table dans un petit commerce comme celui-ci.

Une fois mes articles arrivés, j'ai été impressionné par la qualité de mon matcha latte ainsi que le beau souci du détail du design, il était délicieux. Par contre, mon croissant est arrivé froid & sec, j'ai dû faire la demande pour qu'il le réchauffe. Une fois chaud, il était délicieux & gourmand.

La musique du café apporte une ambiance calme & détente, ce qui est recherché d'un café, mais tout a été chamboulé au moment où deux clients sont arrivés avec leurs chiens dans le café. Mon angoisse a augmenté & un gros inconfort s'est installé lorsque les deux chiens se sont mis à me fixer manger mon croissant à moins d'un mètre de moi.

Mon expérience était géniale jusqu'au moment où l'ambiance de tranquillité a été gâchée. Les animaux devraient être interdits à l'intérieur d'un café. À cause de cet évènement, je suis ambivalente à l'idée de revenir.

Such a cute cafe & the employees were very friendly as well. I bought the matcha latte, which tasted great! We'll definitely be back to enjoy the food next time.

Cute cafe, surprisingly fancily assembled plates. I got the arctic char weekend special, which turned out to be a salad plate, with a fun combination of flavors & textures. I also got a matcha-lemonade drink & that was also really refreshingly pleasant.
