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.

Beau petit café avec des bons classiques & des options un peu plus spéciales. Un peu cher mais les tasses sont très grosses.

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.

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

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 :)

Such a cozy & niche café shop. Great atmosphere & delicious latté. Great for studying, date nights or catching up with a friend. Definitely, will come 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.

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.

Gorgeous cafe. Friendly service. Not a fan of lukewarm lattes though. Also, ordered a decaf fairly certain it was not decaf.

I visit this cafe primarily for the ambiance & because it's close to my home.

But this space is not customer-oriented.
1) in winter, they should add a curtain at the door to keep from draft coming in.
2) service is non-existent: they treat any request or questions from customers with contempt. It's like you are such a bother to them.i.e.: I ordered a small cappuccino but when he served it, it was quite a big bowl. So I asked: is this small? He said:'it's regular size'.

But what is regular?? There are only two options on the menu: small or large. So what constitutes'regular'? So, to clarify, I asked again'is this the small one'? His colleague then broke in & said with impatience:'yea, it's small & it has two shots of espresso & it's with 1% milk.'

Un hello? It's the employee who could not answer a simple question in straight-forward manner. Why lose patience with me?

This is just one example. My interactions with the staff have always been tense. I don't feel like dealing with that on my weekend.
3) pastry line ups don't look so great. There are definitely better choices in the neighbourhood.
4) All cafes have two shots of espresso. But I should have the option to have just 1 shot of espresso. It feels like they are deciding for me. That feels quite arrogant.

That is what this space it: cozy atmosphere but arrogant attitude & mediocre food & drinks.

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.
