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.

Review Summary

Café In Gamba emerges in reviews as a cozy, stylish spot with strong coffee, tasty pastries, and a welcoming vibe that suits studying, dates, or casual meetups, with indoor and outdoor seating and a warm, breezy feel when the garage door is open. The baristas are often praised for friendliness and knowledge, the atmosphere is repeatedly described as relaxing and pleasant, and the croissants and special drinks are highlighted as must-tries. Yet several notes mention high prices and occasional service issues, including inconsistent drink sizes, moments of impatience or aloofness, limited amenities such as lack of standard sugar options and scarce power outlets, and sometimes a busy, noisy environment. Overall, the reputation centers on quality coffee and ambiance, with many expecting to return despite some flaws.

Café in Gamba est un must go pour commencer un beau dimanche ensoleillé proche du Parc Laurier. Leur café est toujours délicieux, le canapé dans l'entrée toujours aussi moelleux & leur terrasse aussi séduisante en période estivale
