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.

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.

I think I am not going back to this place. Despite being a nice place, where I have been multiple times, certain things are too much'their way' or' no way'. I wish they would have regular sugar instead of only that brown thing we need to put twice the amount & it doesn't taste the same. I wish they would have regular soft drinks & typical pastry, not only' a la vegane style. What kept me wishing to go there again is the nice ambiance with the street environment, the seating place outside connected with the interior when the garage door is open. Today it was sunny, 26 deg C outside, the garage door was closed & I inquired if they could open as to me that is the greatest feature of this place, but the young attendant said that the door would remain closed for the confort of the employees, that didn't want to work with the external heat coming inside. Well, I will look for another place where we can still enjoy life as it is meant to be.

This café offers a pleasant ambiance with beautiful outdoor seating under pergolas. However, my espresso lungo was served in a big cup & it lacked the expected richness. My wife's iced matcha latte fell flat.

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!

I recently visited Café In Gamba & had a wonderful time! We ordered a latte & a matcha, both of which were delicious & well-prepared. We also tried their biscotti, brownie, & a vegan panini-all of which were absolutely delightful & added to the overall experience.

The service was fast, & the staff were polite, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The café itself is beautifully decorated, with a cozy & inviting atmosphere. There's plenty of seating, & the place was spotless, which is always a plus.

That said, I did notice that the tables attached to the benches are quite small-perfect for one person but a bit tight for two, especially if you're ordering food along with your drinks. It might be a bit challenging to fit everything comfortably.

Despite this minor issue, I absolutely loved my visit & will definitely be returning. I can imagine this place being even more enjoyable during the summer months, as they have a garage door that lets in plenty of fresh air, creating a lovely open & breezy vibe. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing coffee break & some tasty treats!
