Café Le Moineau Masqué is described as a cozy neighborhood spot with excellent coffee, tasty pastries, and a calm atmosphere that makes it good for working or just lingering with a drink. The place is praised for a pleasant terrace and a small garden, creating a neighborhood feel and a gem off the main streets between Rue Rachel and Avenue Du Mont Royal. The interior is described as modern and cozy, with the outside terrace offering greenery and a bird mural that adds character. The cafe offers fresh fruit juice and a variety of pastries, and the coffee is generally well balanced and enjoyable. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly and patient, especially for language practice, though a few reviews mention occasional cold service or a loud barista. Consistency among baristas varies, but the overall vibe remains welcoming, making it a reliable spot to sit, work, or socialize. A practical note is the use of plastic cups in some visits, which sparked mixed reactions, though an owner explanation helps address the concern and some hope remains for future glass service.
Le personnel est chaleureux & souriant. Le service est rapide & efficace. L'ambiance est sympathique & les boissons chaudes sont bonnes. Le chocolat chaud est proposé en version vegan (lait végétal) si voulu!

First time going there, I'm in love with the place. As a daily coffee drinker it was definitely one of the best coffees I had in my life. The barista was very friendly, I also tried their chocolate croissant it was melting like butter. I felt comfortable there Even though it was small space & some of the tables are shared. I totally recommend it.

Ce tout petit café est très charmant, surtout grâce à sa terrasse entourée d'arbres en été. Je m'y rends de temps en temps car j'aime ce coin calme du Plateau. J'adore leur moca ainsi que leur sandwich végé. Le service n'est pas le plus chaleureux, mais entre Français, on se comprend :)
Went here this morning for coffee. One of the best I've had in the Plateau. The guy listened to our order & made it perfectly! Very friendly service, great atmosphere too

Très joli petit café de quartier mais malheureusement victime de son succès. Les cafés sont savoureux mais la pauvre employée ne pouvait fournir à la forte demande de la clientèle donc beaucoup d'attente pour une commande à emportée.
Prix correct & terrasse sympa.
Cependant j'ai eu le sentiment d'être mise dehors 10min avant la fermeture, je n'avais pas fini mon verre & on me l'a retiré.Le fait que tout le monde soit sur un ordi donne aussi un côté malaisant... on ose pas parler de peur de déranger.
Edit: Tbqh i fear i spoke too soon. Changing my 1 star to 5 stars. I still don’t like the croissants but realistically they have the best coffee in the neighborhood (even tho they don’t offer psl :( …) I will always come here
*** Original review from Winter 2023
Wasn’t a fan of the coffee but it was decent. Service was fine. The basis of this 1 star review is the abominable creation they tried to pass off as a croissant. It was soft like wonder-bread or a pastry you can buy from the dollar store. Horrible. My girlfriend was devastated. If they invested in better croissants, it would be a much better spot. xo

Très bon café !
Très bon service!
Personnellement je n aime pas entrer dans un café & voir tout le monde branché sur ordi ou téléphone...pour l ambiance plutôt froid & pas invitant...
