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.
Petit café charmant !
Je tiens à souligner l'excellent service offert par la serveuse. Cet après-midi, malgré la chaleur accablante & l'achalandage causé par le long week-end, elle a su demeurer souriante, efficace & rapide. Une belle expérience dans une ambiance agréable !
Je suis allée déjeuner là un matin de semaine. J'ai pris le déjeuner classique oeuf, saucisse, patates. C'etait tellement bon! Pour vrai, les meilleures patates que j'ai mangées. J'étais triste d'avoir terminé mon assiette.
L'atmosphère était relaxe, le café etait bon.
Je vais certainement revenir.

I love the food & coffee here but when I went tonight around 8:30 pm, I was informed the kitchen now closes at 3 pm. This is not indicated anywhere on their website so I had no way of knowing before walking all the way there. I don't know how recent this change is but you used to be able to get hot food in the evening no problem. Noctis is the only café open late in the area & their menu also stands out, so I don't understand why they would close their kitchen at 3 pm. Really disappointing, I hope they change it back.
Best coffee in town. Sergei is very gentle & care about his clients. Meilleur café en ville. Sergei est très gentil & prend très à coeur le service à ses clients.
I love this spot! They have great coffee & a wide selection of vegan almond-based desserts. The staff is nice, the place is open late, & if you're lucky, you might just catch a live show.

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! 😊
I'm so happy we have a café in verdu that is open so late! I don't like to have to go to a bar to spend time with friends so having the option to get coffee & pastries instead is really great.
They have gluten free options for the pastries & their coffee is tasty.
