My first visit at this cafe.
Wanted to relax with a coffee before I went for diner close by. A nice & young lady greeted me with a smile even if she was close to end her day. Took a muffin home & had a great Americano decaffeinated. Both were very good. Will be back.
After two separate trips to café le den, I can confidently say they are consistent on every aspect: great drinks & warm welcome. Our first visit was quite memorable, & I was very excited to go back. On our first visit, we tried the ube matcha & their iced'cream latte' as well as a couple sandwiches. The drinks were absolutely delicious & the sandwiches were generous & fresh. we've now just tried their new pistachio latte & the marron (chestnut) matcha which were both phenomenal! This beats sooooo many coffee shops :)
I go here almost every morning, their peanut latte is one of a kind, matcha is also very good! Their chicken salad sandwich is probably one of my fave in the city & the staff is super friendly & welcoming! One of my fave coffee shops in the city hands down.

A nice, quaint café in the neighborhood-perfect for catching up with friends or grabbing a quick lunch. We ordered the cream latte & the strawberry matcha latte. The coffee & matcha were both high quality. Our only critique is that the strawberry syrup was a bit too sweet when the matcha was served hot, which slightly overpowered the matcha. Other than that, we had a great experience & appreciated the friendly service.
I can honestly say this is one of the best cafés on the West Island. I've been to tons of coffee shops, & this place really stands out. The coffee is great, the atmosphere is cozy, & the service is always friendly. Their vegan avocado sandwich is super tasty, fresh & I also loved the Earl Grey scone, the chicken panini, & the pulled pork sandwich. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious!
Cafe Le Den has become my go-to place in the neighborhood. The coffee is always freshly made, & the quality really stands out. What I also love is that the food is just as good - it's honestly rare to find a café that gets both right, but this place delivers every time.
The owner & staff are genuinely warm & welcoming. There's a cozy, home-like feeling as soon as you walk in, & it's the kind of atmosphere that keeps you coming back without even thinking about it.
If you want great coffee, great food, & a place that simply feels good to be in, this café is an easy recommendation.
Went to meet & have coffee , croissant ( the best one I've ever tasted) with some friends. Location is easy to find, there are plenty parking options . The place is simple,clean & still manages to project an' old world' charm. Unfortunately I missed the deadline ( 2: 45 PM ) to order one of their delicious sounding sandwiches from the wall menu, but we still enjoyed their pastry & excellent Cappucino.
Very friendly & accommodating service, prices are not expensive.
We surely will return soon.
As a person lived in Turin (Italy) for many years, I know what is good panini & coffee. & this cafe / sandwich shop made me decide writing a review that I rarely do.
We tried the Capo-stacked & a sandwich with Brie & apple (I was told it's a seasonal special from the staff).
The Capo features very good-quality salami (just check out my over-saturated photo to see that beautiful marbling!) & mozzarella with a perfectly balanced profile. The Brie & apple sandwich was super refreshing-ideal for these summer days.
The iced Americano was also really good. As a coffee lover, I appreciated their care in sourcing beans-it's rare to find this flavor profile around here. The cream of the cream latte could have been a bit thicker for my taste, but my wife absolutely loved it.
A bit remote / random area as a traveller, but defo worthy to drive & visit!
Some of the best coffee in the West Island. Love their little cafe with lots of seating options, natural light, gentle indoor light, & plugs. Great working spot. Will definitely make this my regular go-to.
