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.

Petit café de quartier.
Le cappuccino est super bon & les viennoiseries sont excellentes. Mention spéciale à l'employée qui m'a commandé les croissants choco-noisettes au téléphone pour mon chum. On ne voit vraiment pas ce niveau d'aide & de service partout! Je suis impressionnée (d'autant plus qu'ils sont délicieux). 💚💚Bravo ! PS: bien hâte d'y retourner pour essayer le sandwich déjeuner.
** On ne peut pas consommer sur place (pas de table) mais il semblait y avoir une terrasse pour l'été !

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 !

Espace sur place très petit pour ceux souhaitant s'asseoir, 4 places disponibles. C'est plus un concept pour emporter.

La limonade rouge & remplie de glace serait à réviser. Il y a bien mieux ailleurs. Sandwich déjeuner bon mais très simpliste. Rien d'extraordinaire. La portion de pommes de terre est bonne, mais ridiculement petite pour le prix. Bref, cet endroit fut une découverte pour laquelle nous n'y retournerons plus.
