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.
Ça veut dire quoi noctis? J ai trouvé mon café moyen. Accueil correct & pâtisseries de style maison artistique attrayantes. Déco style mtl modeste traditionnel.
This café is a bit more of a walk from my place but i find myself coming back more & more because of its charm. Great selection of pastries (including gluten free options), & brunch items like sandwiches & good tea & coffee options. They've got a large selection of seats 2 including arm chair sofas in the front. They've also got a self-serve water dispenser with cups & even some books/magazines to flip through.
I got the chocolate cake slice I got was soft & moist with a slightly textured exterior & the hot chocolate was decadent & rich. On a different occasion i came with a friend & have tried both the lamb sausage sandwich & the hummus sandwhich. The hummus sandwhich was great but could have been slightly more filling with more toppings/sauce in there while the lamb sausage sandwhich was really juicy, filling & flavourful. I'm definitely looking forward to make this cozy spot a go to in the future.
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!

If I may address concerns of the last bad reviews, all made by the same group bashing the business, this is more of a cozy café rather than a restaurant with a waiter serving you..They have one, barista by profession, or two, taking your order at the cash register & rather than you picking up your order at the counter, they do the extra of bringing it to your table & cleaning after you. They are not waiters persay, but they do everything in their possibility for you to enjoy your experience at the café, after you ordered & paid at the counter. (who knows if you even left a tip for the barista/cashier to go above & beyond for your table service, let alone coffee making)… I am a waitress/bartender myself in a high volume environment & a frequent client here, & leaving such reviews is beyond comprehension…They have great coffee, great desserts that are sugar-balanced & I have personally nothing bad to say about their cuisine..they might have to check ingredients that aren't listed on the menu though. Cheers & best regards
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.
I've had the pleasure of visiting this coffee shop a few times over the past weeks, & it has become a favorite spot. The food is simply amazing. The two times I had a brunch plate it was fantastic!! (I can't remember the name of one of them but I shared a photo!) the other one is the Avocado Toast... both had that homey deliciousness taste. Portions are great. There are very nice vegetarian options, & they are also accommodating to adapt a plate for you :) The ambience is warm & inviting, perfect for everything - from grabbing a late cup of coffee to enjoying a weekend brunch - everyone here is genuinely welcoming, adding to the place's charm. It really feels like a family-owned cozy & inviting place to be. I've visited at different times of day - it's a little hectic during weekend mornings, with people gathering to read or have lively conversations,& at night a it's calm & relaxing vibe to read or work in your computer. I also love that it stays open late, which is hard to find in a coffee shop. I have to check their hours again (I believe they changed to close a biiit earlier) but if you're looking for a cozy, vibrant spot with incredible food, I can't recommend this place enough!
