Overall, Café Noctis is described as a cozy, welcoming neighborhood cafe with a homey vibe, friendly staff, and a strong focus on coffee and pastries. The coffee is repeatedly praised as well balanced and not burnt, with notes of wood, chocolate, and nutty characters and occasional special drinks like rosewater or pistachio lattes; the pastry selection includes bagels and a variety of desserts with some gluten free options, plus vegetarian treats and house made ice cream. The atmosphere stands out as relaxing and charming, with comfortable seating and a terrace in warm weather, and occasional events such as poetry nights or live music that foster a sense of community. A few reviews mention drawbacks such as slow service at peak times, longer waits for certain items, and changes to kitchen hours that can be confusing or disappointing. Still, many say the space invites return for the warm welcome, late hours compared with nearby spots, and a vibe that feels like a home away from home.
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.

Déçue. 30 minutes d'attente pour recevoir nos plats. Portions trop petites. Supplément de 5$ pour le saumon fumé qui est tellement minuscule qu'il ne couvre pas le toast à l'avocat. La Shakshouka servie avec 2 toasts du commerce grillées & une petite mergez en supplément trop cuite.
We came in Sunday afternoon & the atmosphere was just perfect. It's like a part of Wes Anderson films. The Chai Latte was also tasty. I wish I lived this area so that I can visit here more often.
There's a huge fuzzy cat casually chilling on the chair. Very cute.
Shame that they can't make a good matcha latte. It has no flavour & isn't well balanced. I would come again only to try the coffee & because the ambiance is nice

Attended a crochet-comedy event in the Café Noctis. We were a huge gang. Was fun. Lentil soup was delicious. Thinner than I'm used to. I now want to make my lentil soup thinner. A dish that tasted like lasagna. Very tasty! Yummy fruit salad.
It was my first time at this café & I enjoyed a hot matcha latte, which was very good. The young lady working there was kind enough to help with the door as I was having a bit of trouble with getting my stroller up the first step, which was very much appreciated. She was polite & explained the sweetening options for the matcha, including honey, & maple syrup among others, which was nice.
They have plants by the window & a casual seating area at the front which was perfect for my toddler son & me. I would definitely like to come back! 😊
A Hidden Gem Worth Savoring Tucked away in an up-&-coming neighborhood, Café Noctis is the perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind with a great cup of coffee-or, in my case, a flawless Matcha Latte. From the moment you step inside, the warm, relaxed atmosphere welcomes you. The decor strikes a perfect balance between modern charm & cozy comfort, making it easy to lose track of time. One of the highlights of this café is its adorable resident cat, who adds a touch of whimsy & warmth to the experience. (Don't worry-there's no fur in your latte, just smiles all around!) Speaking of the latte, my Matcha Latte was perfection in a cup-smooth, balanced, & with just the right hint of sweetness. To pair with it, I indulged in a pistachio pastry that was absolutely delightful. Whether you're here to work, read, or simply soak in the ambiance, Café Noctis is a place you'll want to return to. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a cozy little haven that feels like a secret you almost don't want to share. 5/5 stars-highly recommended!
Adam was accommodating & helpful with our group reservation (thanks for playing our requested songs ). Yummy matcha latte & chicken sandwich. Highly recommend this cozy & spacious café.

Bel endroit tranquille pour les gens voulant travailler ou encore relaxer. Leur carte de dessert est bien remplie. J'ai trouvé le coût de boissons chaudes un peu plus cher qu'ailleurs mais le café & le thé sont de bonne qualité. Je ne recommande pas les sandwichs, que j'ai trouvé cher & la sauce rosée piquante. J'ai commandé celui au merguez qui était bon mais sans accompagnement. & on goûtait peu la seule merguez à cause de la sauce. Je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus étant donné le prix. Le sandwich au poulet, que mon amie a commandé n'était pas supposé être piquant, mais comme il avait de la sauce rosée, il l'était. Il y avait aussi des ingrédients qui n'étaient pas dans la description, comme des olives, que mon amie n'aime pas. Service adéquat & gens sympathiques.
This place is a gem! We are so happy to have discovered it today. So much so that we went back twice! We had really lovely iced drinks to start, a perfectly made matcha latté, & an iced coffee, alongside incredibly delicious & oh-SO-beautiful pastries! The atmosphere was lovely & relaxing, & the service was impeccable. We will be back again & again!
What a beautiful, calm, & heartwarming place ! My friend & I were looking for a place to get some coffee the other day when we stumbled upon this beautiful yet simple green café. The simplicity & calmness just took my heart away. The coffee that I ordered along with the chocolate crumble cake & my friend's macha latte were absolutely amazing. The sweet guy who made & served our coffee was so kind & generous. I am definitely going back there again very, very soon.
