Overall, Café Noctis receives praise for a warm, cozy vibe, strong coffee, tasty pastries, and a welcoming late hours atmosphere with friendly staff and an evolving space that some say breathes better after changes; at the same time a number of reviews mention a dingy feel with dirty walls and a large television that clashes with the cafe vibe, as well as occasional slow service and long waits, small portions on certain dishes, and pricing that can feel high, though several patrons note improvements over time.
I was happy to try Noctis Cafe & have a latte, only to find out that a plant-based milk latte is more expensive than an cow based milk latte. I can't have cow's milk. Very unfair to have to pay more for plant based milk. This is not customer focused. Fortunately, a few blocks away, there is Cafe Jardin on Wellington & Desmarchais, where plant based lattes are same price as cow's milk latte.
C'est mon deuxième chez moi 🦋
Un café avec une atmosphere eclectique qui s'adapte au gens du quartier, des activités interessantes comme le yoga avec qui le café collabore une fois par mois mais surtout le service & l'accueille chaleureux à chaque fois que tu franchis la porte d'entrée! Bon café & belle ambiance à quoi tu t'attends de plus allez vas-y! Tu vas adorer ❤?❤?❤?
Le staff est super sympa avec du excellent cafe & mon coup de coeur les biscotti pistachio woow jai du me retenir de pas en manger 4 hahahha aller essaye
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.

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.

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.
