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 :))

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 🥰
