Review Summary

Across the reviews Café Hélico is described as a small cozy café with excellent coffee, a solid selection of pastries, and dependable breakfast options, praised for friendly service and a calm vibe plus a sunny terrace in nice weather, but several comments note the space is tight and seating can be scarce, especially after renovations that shifted the focus toward a counter and takeout; some miss the pre renovation concept and the brighter dining area, while others appreciate the improved space and continued quality, with a few critiques about slow dine in service, small portions for the price, or the croissant arriving cold unless reheated, and a mention that dogs inside can disrupt the quiet; overall the drinks and baked goods stand out, many calling it one of the best coffee and breakfast spots in Montreal and planning to return for favorites like the sandwich dejeuner and pastries.

This was such a cute spot! We got pommes de terre, yogurt & granola maison, croissants, & mochaccinos. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend & we will be back when we visit the area again.

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 📚

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 🥰
