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.
Reviews depict Café In Gamba as a stylish, cozy café where coffee is the main attraction, with baristas crafting drinks across the roast spectrum and notable specials like moka and matcha that many find delicious; the space itself is praised for artful decor, soft natural light, and a welcoming terrace that makes it easy to linger. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm and inviting, suitable for studying, chatting, or simply soaking in the mood, with attentive staff contributing to a friendly vibe. Some critiques mention high prices, occasional inconsistency in service, and limited food options or disappointing value, as well as practical quirks like no outlets or slower wifi during busy times. Taken together, Café In Gamba seems to be a go-to spot for coffee lovers who value both quality drinks and a visually pleasing, comfortable setting, even if the menu and service can sometimes vary.
Beautiful cafe, thoughtfully localized on a vibrant street. Good coffee, mid-to-higher range prices, but about standard for Montréal coffee shops in 2026. Delicious espresso based drinks as well as other specialty drinks (loved the matcha & a big fan of their chai latte). 90 minutes restriction on wifi makes it less than ideal for students, but ensures a good rollover to allow for a good flow throughout the day (basically meaning, you will for sure find a place to sit). One of my favourites in Montreal & I am happy to support whenever I am in the area!
Went on a Sunday afternoon, such a great spot to grab a coffee. Staff was friendly & efficient, & my latte was delicious, as per usual. Definitely recommend for both busy & non busy times
A great place to work, study, or catch up. However, we didn't find any outlets, so make sure you're fully charged. Service was generally friendly, but varied considerably between employees, suggesting a lack of consistent customer service. The grilled sandwiches were a bit disappointing in taste & quantity considering the price, so I would not recommend having lunch here. Otherwise, it's a great place to have a cup of coffee & a chat.
I stopped by café In Gamba this morning, & the vibe was really chill & welcoming, nice people around, a cozy atmosphere. I ordered a small latte, & I was pleasantly surprised by the size, it's actually quite big, which was a nice surprise! The coffee itself was really good, smooth & flavorful. I also had a croissant, perfectly crispy on the outside & soft & moist on the inside. Overall, it was a nice experience. They also sell coffee beans, mugs, & other coffee accessories.
Solid coffee. Staff are always friendly. Ample indoor seating & lovely outside terrace in the warmer months.
Can be very busy at times but still a great place to grab a quick coffee or sit & work for a couple hours.
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!
