Coffee is great, perfectly balanced & well poured. They are on the pricier side of the scale though. Service is friendly. Place is busy but spacious & well maintained.

Amazing. Tried cappuccino & flat-white, tasting excellent & service was super fast. Moreover, I ordered a big flat-white & they charged me a small one. I suggest to cover the difference but they refuse it ❤️. Recommend.
Depuis combien de temps possède ce café une belle place au park avenue! Depuis toujours 😃 J'ai goûté leur chocolat chaud qui est très bien présenté, je dois avouer que j'ai adoré ce chocolat chaud! La décoration d'intérieur est très sympa, cosy & l'espace est vert, leur plante géante en vidéo est juste magnifique ❤️ Les employés sont très gentils & très accueillants & souriants ! Fortement recommandé!
My partner & I come everyday here for our coffee dose. Excellent coffee blend, the best staff in the world, always smiling, warm & welcoming. Makes you come the next day. I know coffee & I recommend this place you won't be disappointed.

I am very disapointed that this place is allowing work on electronic devices on the weekend again. You've got to love to be surrounded by computers if you're able to find a spot to sit. Excellent coffee & service, but the amount of laptop users holding places for an hour & a half on the weekend is super underwhelming.
Cute coffee shop. When I visited (during the Christmas holidays), it was very busy, so we were lucky to find a place to sit. I had latte with oat milk.
I adore this place. Every time I'm home it's a go to. Consistent coffee...friendly staff & a great setting. Although I do miss the red velvet decor before renovations
It's so cute & cozy. I had the salted caramel latte & it was the perfect middle ground between sweet & coffee-y bitter. Also wonderful decor & seating. Lovely to work from.
Excellent coffee here. Top quality but you pay for it. I believe my small cup of cappuccino ( extra for the oat milk), with tax cost me $5.90. Pleasant, comfortable atmosphere inside & a nice terrace outside for the warmer days. If you don't mind the price & want excellent coffee, then you'll like it here.
I have been going to Caffè in Gamba for years! Since they expanded & renovated (& one of the partners started his own venture in Little Italy) their customer service has gone downhill. Today, I bumped into a neighborhood friend & was chatting. As she was leaving I went to get my coffee & was ordered by the barista to sit where she was sitting, when I had already made myself a space. I told him that they were about to leave & we had just bumped into each other. That I had come because I had work to do. He proceeded to order me to sit there again. I decided to leave instead. Ending my relationship with the establishment. Do they have great coffee? Yes. Is it a beautiful place to sit & work? Yes. Do I want to support a business that has 0 sense of customer service? Absolutely not.

While when you walk in past the pretty terrasse, the lineup, to the left, of serious geriatric students of the internet are a little imposing (unless it is there is a seat for YOU & your MAC), this place (equipped with TWO pristine & functioning bathrooms! You could use both!) is pretty much a temple to good coffee (& good cheer). The baristas are charming & charmingly precise with their drinks, & never once have I had a milky flower design on my coffee that didn't seem absolutely necessary. True, it ain't free, but the cortado (providing they are using a servicable bean) is pretty superlative. Baked goods, good for the neighborhood, but croissants often deflated & somewhat salty. That said, it is EXCEEEDLY rare to find a flaky fresh croissant, in part because they are too MORTAL a pastry. The place used to be a little monastic with...what do you call them, teleworkers? But in recent years the vibe is good, the patio upbeat & fillled with pretty people in the good times, & the proximity to the SAQ just perf.
Went here for a late afternoon snack & coffee as I always pass by & never tried it yet, wish I had sooner as it's a very cute little terrace (also have indoor seating), the cappuccino was so tasty & went well with their confectioneries~ it was quite busy but don't be shy it was still definitely worth it to us & we'll be coming back :)
Un service charmant & meilleurs cafés à Montréal. Ça vaut vraiment le détour & vous ne serez pas déçu si vous cherchez les 49th parallels, inteligentisia, Kicking horse, Kickapoo, etc.
