Café Nocturne comes across as a cozy, welcoming spot with excellent coffee and pastries, a versatile space for studying, working, or catching up with friends, and a boho vibe that invites you to slow down and enjoy your drink. Reviews praise the quality drinks and friendly staff, with standout espressos and mochas and plenty of pastry variety, but there are notes about slow or unfriendly service, crowded spaces filled with laptops, limited seating, cold interiors, and wifi that struggles when busy.
Charmant petit café chaleureux avec une jolie terrasse intime. Le café y est excellent & le service attentionné. Une belle adresse à découvrir absolument.
Have been a regular here for many years, staff are friendly, kind & always make great coffee. I am always happy to spend a day working from home at this cafe & during my school years would study often from this cafe! The manager has quality in mind & the team are all absolutely lovely!
Would recommend on all fronts!

Café Nocturne is multifaceted - it can be a space for studying & deep immersion in your own work; for laughing & catching up with friends; for simply leaning back & enjoying a nice cup of coffee or tea. The scones are an absolute must-try at this café, & the Sunday pancakes are the best I've had. The staff at Nocturne are kind & prone to laughter & quickly whip up your order. Best coffee in town.
The atmosphere is inviting & cozy, the cafe vibes are strong. The incandescent lights, rustic furniture & decor, & colours are very pleasing. Their scones & coffee are also legitimate.. the scone had that authentic buttermilk taste & was of a perfect texture. Sadly our experience lacked in warm service as the barista had an unhelpful & unconcerned attitude & expression. Additionally, their wifi didn't work, & the tea is mediocre (not strong nor fragrant). Final thoughts: may or may not come back. A shame cause I liked the cafe itself, just not the service & lack of functioning internet.
Un jolie lieu avec du très bon café ! Mais par contre le service.... Si vous n'avez pas envie de servir les gens avec le sourire, il faudrait peut être penser à changer d'orientation professionnelle chère madame.
Cute Plateau destination for delicious drinks - see the hot chocolate in the photo, which was every bit tasty as it was beautiful. Very kind personnel. Only down sides: there is no food unless you go in the morning (see empty counter window), as they run out, & they only have high table seating with uncomfortable stools. There is one loveseat, but some regular tables & comfortable chairs would really make a difference. All in all, a nice café!

While the coffee is decent & the service friendly, most people don't go to a cafe strictly for the coffee. This is where I think this cafe lacks greatly; the atmosphere is small & unwelcoming. There's enough cafes in Montreal that have both that it's hard to see myself visiting again. Even in the short time I was there, I saw 3 groups of people walk in & walk out, likely sensing the same ambiance I sensed.
i absolutely adore this cafe. so cute, good coffee & amazing croissants. i think it was the largest croissant I've eaten that was actually good. it's in the perfect area close to campus & entering on the plateau. come here for your morning pastry & coffee before walking around the plateau or to mount royal on the weekends. can also work from here on week days being that it's close to campus.
Très souvent une seule personne vous préparer le café le matin, donc parfois une longue file d'attente. Le capuccino n'en est pas un, c'est un café latté, il n'y a pratiquement pas mousse de lait.

Je vais dans ce café depuis longtemps & ça devient de plus en plus impersonnel. Le service hier était déplorable, le garçon ne m'a jamais regardé, il servait 2 personnes à la fois sans communiquer quoi que ce soit. J'ai dû nettoyer une table car plusieurs étaient sales. L'employé était assis sur une chaise derrière le comptoir à visionner des trucs sur son cell. C'est triste. Ce café de quartier avait une bonne vibe avant.
Correct. Le café matcha très bon, le personnel très agréable mais compliqué de trouver une place pour travailler car beaucoup de monde. J'aime la déco très industriel, & c'est chill plus de viennoiserie en début d'après midi Pour le goûter pas top !!!

Le café est bon, la porte est terrible. J'ai envie de faire une jambette à tout ceux qui sont incapable de la retenir & de l'empêcher de faire tout ce vacarme
Quand tu cherches un bon café avec un bon croissant & de la bonne musique reposante, & que tu trouves par hasard le Café Nocturne, alors tu sais que le destin du lundi matin existe...
