Café Ma Bicyclette is described as a charming canal side cafe with a welcoming vibe that appeals to cyclists, walkers and coffee lovers alike. Coffee quality gets frequent praise with notes of a best flat white, a delicious latte, a good cortado and other well prepared drinks, alongside a variety of snacks and pastries including croissants and vegan options. The location and the terrace by the canal are repeatedly highlighted, along with friendly staff and small convenient touches such as a walk through for dogs or a nearby window where dogs can be served, plus other details that add charm. Some reviewers mention slower service at times or occasional espresso that is burnt, and a few point out extras like paid plant based milk or pricier nachos, but many say the atmosphere, views and food balance these concerns. Overall the place comes across as a go-to spot for a relaxed stop on a bike ride or stroll, offering good drinks, tasty bites and an inviting setting along the canal, with favorable notes on ambiance, friendliness and dog friendly features.
A terrific café in a super location - right beside the Lachine canal/bike path & in sight of the Atwater market. I've had barista-calibre coffee there several times (today it was a soy latté) & the pastries & sandwiches are excellent too. Also a great variety of microbrasserie beers & some interesting products for sale, like macadamia milk. It's of course bicycle friendly & the terrace is dog friendly.

Very nice cafe right on the canal. I stopped here before & after kayaking for a drink & snack. The chocolate chip cookie I purchased was delicious. This is a nice cafe to stop at if you are in the area.
Petit café super sympa au bord du canal de Lachine. Terrasse ombragée très agréable. Délicieux sandwich & grand choix de boissons pour un lunch en toute simplicité.

Nice atmosphere, love the jug of water to self serve, the coffee was good quality. But please do not order an affogato - unless they make it better. The Nutella & icecream was a solid rock at the bottom of the container. The coffee did not melt it & having to carve out the frozen solid icecream+ Nutella... the espresso splashed me. Nice place but maybe fix the method of your "affogato"
Je suis passée en vélo un jour de pluie & je m'y suis arrêtée pour la première fois. Le café est très bien situé, juste à côté de la piste cyclable, mais il n'était pas très occupé ce jour-là. J'ai pris un bah mi végétalien & c'était excellent. Il y avait plusieurs autres options santé sur le menu. Le personnel était super sympathique & attentionné. J'y reviendrai à coup sûr!
The chai here is good. It is spicy & strong. I will say though that after you add the milk it dilutes. Best to ask for it with less milk or more concentrated. It's also organic & kettle brewed by the brand Say When...really nice! Indoor & outdoor seating. Paced but kind service & some alcohol & pastries here as well.
Busy summer day. The staff seemed very overwhelmed, making mistakes with lot of customers. I asked for cold brew with milk on the location, but the girl gives me in the cup to go. I had to correct her, because I wanted to take pictures. She was nonchalant & getting frustrated. Despite bad service, my cold brew was delish.
Can't just pass by this cafe if you happen to be near the Lachine Canal in spring & summer. You gotta buy whatever drink you want & take a walk along the Lachine Canal

After a long day cycling or walking on the canal, it's good to take a break & relax in this cafe. the atmosphere is good, watching the people walking around & hanging out in the park in the summer with a good music. The iced chai latte is good & overall coffee selections are also good. They also sells alcohol like cold beer that suits for the hot day.
A beautiful coffee stop to your canal adventure. It's located beautifully right on the canal The have a big terrace outside & also a nice big indoors area.
