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.
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 📚

Très bon café, j'ai goûté le latte à la citrouille & il est vraiment bien dosé. Ils proposent du lait de soja ou du lait d'avoine en plus du lait régulier.
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.
Chaque met est un réel chef d'oeuvre culinaire, unique, différent & dont tout les ingrédients ont été choisis avec soin. Nous sommes allés déjeuner avec mes deux petites. Le service était impeccable & ils nous ont même apportez quelques jouets en prime pour les occuper.
Endroit super cozy autant su côté resto que tu côté café! La nourriture était vraiment délicieuse & ils avaient une bonne sélection de vin! Peut-être un peu bruyant à cause de la plonge & du passage récurrent du staff côté café, mais sommes toute nous avons passé un bel après-midi à travailler!
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 🥰
Best cafe in the area. Food & drinks are both amazing. Maybe the one thing I would say is that I got the chai latte & didn't really taste the chai very strong, but it was still pretty good honestly.
Connected to the restaurant Hélicoptère. Delicious tasting brunch menu, even on weekdays. A bit harder to find parking around, even the paid parking... Depending on your luck. Baby changing table available.
Such a fun cafe with excellent food & friendly service. We LOVED the tartare (best ever, to tell the truth- pictured is a 1/2 portion as we shared) & the little plastic dinos & farm animals lurking around in expected & unexpected places were darned cute. We also had the duck grilled cheese. It was also very good. Good coffee too!
