Review Summary

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.

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!
