Review Summary

Café In Gamba is widely celebrated as a staple in the local community, known for its inviting, stylish atmosphere and high-quality coffee that consistently impresses many visitors. The space features beautiful indoor seating and a popular outdoor terrace that perfectly complements the vibrant street environment. While the majority of patrons praise the friendly staff and the consistently smooth, flavorful espresso-based drinks, a segment of customers notes that the busy environment can feel impersonal or sometimes noisy. Experiences regarding food quality and pricing vary, as do opinions on service consistency and specific menu restrictions. Despite these mixed perspectives, the location remains a favorite destination for those seeking a cozy spot to study, socialize, or enjoy a premium cup of coffee.

The space is genuinely inviting - warm, stylish, & the kind of place you want to linger. I only wish the coffee matched the atmosphere. My drink leaned far too sour, which made it hard to enjoy despite the lovely setting. Still, it's a charming spot if you're here for the vibe more than the brew.

Great flavor & always consistent, this isn't your typical coffee shop! We love coming here. It's incredibly accessible for families with children, which we always appreciate. Plus, their facilities & changing tables are lovely & clean.

J'ai découvert In Gamba Café il y a environ 15 ans, un peu par hasard, & depuis, je suis littéralement tombé en amour avec cet endroit. Ce café est devenu pour moi une véritable référence à Montréal.

L'ambiance y est unique, chaleureuse & authentique, mais ce qui fait surtout revenir, c'est la qualité exceptionnelle du café. Honnêtement, c'est probablement l'un des meilleurs cafés à Montréal. Chaque tasse est préparée avec passion & constance, ce qui devient rare aujourd'hui.

How where to start ! ITS a few Summers I walked by In Gamba on Laurier always a lot of people that looked snobbish lol one day I was starting to go at Lapin presses but then wanted to try in Gamba I never really felt a good connection but sometimes yes the cappuccino were very perfectly yummy & everything & the staff was nice .

But what happened today is not acceptable !
Don't take me & my money for granted unless you work to keep a value of you like I do for me & secondly ! ITS 5,45 & you put less on your machine hoping to Recieve a dollar of tip or more & people end paying like 6 .

This evening my 2 sugars havent Been added & change your cup if you want to give a size of espresso you are so insulting !

I don't need you you don't need me fine forget about & my face entering there

I wanted to bring you 5 cent of tip making you believe I would give you 5$ but all of you are not worth my time & energy

Good Luck keep fooling the fools not me XD

You see in life has pay 72 $ per months for who what ?

In Life sometimes the more you give the worst they react …
