Taken from Italian, our name means "a well-made coffee." Here, the flavors from the terroirs are brought to life by the talent of our baristas and the expertise of our roasters. Since 2007, we have been tirelessly pursuing the perfect cup. This quest is at the heart of our craft as coffee artisans.
Café In Gamba draws praise for its beautiful, thoughtfully designed space with ample indoor and outdoor seating, a sunny terrace and artworks that give the cafe a distinctive, welcoming vibe. The coffee program is widely loved, including espresso drinks, lattes, matcha and chai, with generous portions and a high level of craft, though a few mention high prices and occasional inconsistency in service. The atmosphere is described as cozy and relaxing, ideal for studying, chatting or simply watching the world go by, and the location near Parc Laurier is frequently cited as a plus, even as some note wifi limits and occasional crowds. Overall Café In Gamba is seen as a standout spot in Montreal for quality coffee and ambiance, with repeat visitors and a sense that the cafe is worth returning to.
Magnifique lieu !
Nous sommes venus ici sur recommandation, & nous avons compris pourquoi.
Un moka pour mon ami, un cortado pour moi : deux boissons superbement exécutées, révélant un véritable savoir-faire de barista. Ici, le café n'est pas qu'une boisson, c'est un art maîtrisé. Les amateurs y trouveront leur bonheur, entre dark roast & light roast, chaque grain semblant choisi avec justesse, en accord parfait avec la boisson demandée.
L'atmosphère, elle, marque immédiatement. Des oeuvres d'art ponctuent l'espace, dialoguant avec les couleurs du lieu dans une harmonie évidente. Rien n'est laissé au hasard : on sent une main sensible, un oeil sûr, un goût affirmé.
Au plafond, les puits de lumière apportent une clarté douce & naturelle, presque enveloppante. Une lumière qui apaise, qui invite à ralentir, à rester un peu plus longtemps que prévu.
Le personnel, enfin, donne une âme au lieu. Sourires sincères, énergie chaleureuse, bonne humeur communicative, & ce, même face aux petits imprévus d'un jour de grand froid & de canalisations gelées.
Pour résumer, c'est un café où l'on se pose,
Pour parler, dessiner, laisser courir les choses.
Observer, ressentir, prendre le temps d'exister,
& surtout, savourer des cafés magnifiquement préparés.
This was my first time going here. The tall blonde barista asked me about my weekend & was so sweet, he really made my day & I needed it, thank you! The latte & raspberry danish were delicious, I'll definitely be coming back :)

Not only was the customer service bad, I got a latte & I saw the barista re-steam the milk. When I complained that the latte tasted burnt they refused to remake it.
J'ai adoré l'expérience. Le barista était très serviable, de bon conseil. L'endroit est très agréable. Je sais maintenant où revenir déguster un bon mokaccino. 😊
As a lesser known branch of one of Montreal's first fourth wave coffee shops, Cafe in Gamba features outstanding, high-quality coffee in a cozy, not-too-crowded space. The coffee is phenomenal -- it's rich, smooth, slightly nutty, & not overly acidic. The baristas are remarkably friendly (& very willing to practice French, for those who are trying to build up their French vocabulary :)), & I love the variety of indoor & outdoor seating. The front windows open into the outdoors, & there's also a lovely patio area with open benches right next to the park. Can't wait to come back!
Très bon café, baristas très gentils. Mention spécial pour les muffins qui sont dingues! Par contre j'ai repris 2 cafés avec ma copine sur les 2 dernières semaines & la caféine est vraiment intense! On en boit très régulièrement & franchement ça décoiffe ! Peut être ajuster le café choisi ? A bientôt

Spectacular space, top tier 3rd wave coffee by real baristas. (A little pricey, but at the end of the day I'de rather pay a dollar more for an amazing espresso or latte in a beautiful space)
