Café Noctis comes across as a warm, easygoing spot that instantly makes guests feel welcome, with a cozy vibe, strong coffee and friendly staff. The space offers comfy seating, a charming terrace in warm weather, and a range of pastries and drinks including rosewater lattes and pistachio treats that draw fans of distinctive flavors. The cafe also acts as a community hub with poetry nights, live music and weekend brunch, adding to its neighborhood cafe atmosphere. Some feedback highlights occasional downsides such as pricey coffee for the quality, slow service at times, small portions on certain dishes, and changes to kitchen hours that can catch diners off guard, yet the overall experience remains described as charming and relaxing with a calm ambiance. Many reviewers praise the decor, the quiet corners for reading or working, gluten free pastry options, and the friendly, attentive staff, making Café Noctis a go to spot for desserts, coffee and social gatherings.
Coming back they made changes. Its more open with the kitchen & makes it breathe more. The employee was much better this time around & the coffee also tasted better.------
First review:
First visit was a 3/5 The bagel was nice! I would go back & buy one. Same for baklava* /snacks.Nice spot, nice area 3.5/5Employee was nice, however he was bummed out that I didn't like the option he wanted me to try. Then joked about me paying having to pay for the initial drink that I wanted after I said I didn't really like whatever he offered me tk try --- which slightly annoyed me ---- besides that he was nice.
I did say' the sweetness level was perfect tho' & then the one after was bitter. So that kind of sucked I wish I had kept the one I didnt like as much because it was made with love, second one not so much.Again bagel was good, wait time for the bagel was long considering no one else ordered at the time of me placing my order :)))
Honestly, hands down the best cafe I had in Wellington Street. I've walked past it a few times but finally popped in this morning, & I'm so glad I did. The coffee was spot on not burnt like some other places nearby & the staff were genuinely friendly. It's got a really cozy vibe too. Definitely my new go-to spot. Highly recommend!

Visiting Noctis cafe is unforgettable experience of authentic & artisanal cuisine & atmosphere in general. The place changed a lot since opening, they DIY everything , changing all the time in deep search of best solution to create cosy home-like space, where you can rest, recover & feel comfortable like at home. Friendly baristas, desserts that are vegetarian, healthy & never boring. Also i want to put a fat accent on the coffee. Own roast &'one grain' strategy created mathematically achieved flavour that brings wood, chocolate, smoky & nutty notes but kept vibe of classic second wave coffee. That's definitely something that you should try when you visit! Shutout & appreciation to the Noctis cafe 🫶🏻
Nous sommes allés essayer votre café aujourd'hui & personnellement c'était le pire breuvage que jai bu. Je n'ai pas fini mon thé chaï & mes deux amis n'ont pas finit leur café qui avait un goût de brûler.
I love this place! I hope they last for a long time here! I only have had drinks here ( which were great), but it's not just about the drinks or food. The seating, the staff, the'feel' is really nice.
22$ pour une mini soupe, bagel avec fromage à la crème qui n'avait presque pas du fromage à la crème & un thé à la menthe qui n'était pas très bon. Service boff. Première & dernière fois. Trop de places qui sont près pour revenir. Très déçue.
A super warm, easygoing café that instantly makes you feel welcome. Great coffee, kind people, & a cozy vibe that makes you want to linger just a bit longer.

I love the idea of a coffee shop that stays open later! There are games & comfy chairs inside the cafe where people can gather. In summer, the outdoor terrace is open late & is such a lovely spot. However, the coffee here is really overpriced considering it is not very good. Additionally, the service is unusually slow for a coffee shop.
Un beau trésor du beau quartier verdun. Des pâtisseries qui sortent du lot, toutes délicates à déguster. Un très beau décor qui rend l'expérience très agréable. Un propriétaire dévoué à son commerce & ses clients. Nourriture excellente!
Super chill Persian-inspired cafe on Wellington.
They have poetry/Spoken Word shows on Fridays & it's doing it's best to establish itself as a neighbourhood cafe & I really hope they succeed. They serve brunch on weekends which include items like bagels & cream cheese but also muhammara, baked eggs in a garlicky tomato sauce with pita bread. This is one of the few places where I've seen rosewater lattes which I love sipping on everytime I'm here. Since we just came out of autumn & are heading into winter, you also of course have pumpkin & pistachio lattes as well. They make smoothies with Medjool dates & a lot of the pastries here are based on almonds & pistachios. There are a few plush seats in the front & the terrace opens out onto the street during the summer, with Spanish guitar, or Arabic & Persian folk music on the sound system. Service is super chill & friendly. I love speanding time here & just catching up on reading, writing when the inspiration hits.
