Review Summary

Café Nocturne is described as a cozy, charming cafe with standout coffee and pastries, especially the croissants and scones. The pastries are often baked in house with seasonal flavors and the vibe is relaxed and welcoming, making it a good spot for studying, working, or casual meet ups. Many praise friendly baristas and solid espresso drinks, with notes of great lattes, croissants, and a lively atmosphere. However, some visits are slowed by service that can feel slow or inconsistent, including reports of a lack of greeting from a particular barista and seating that fills up with people working on laptops. WiFi reliability and indoor temperature are noted as issues in some reviews, which can affect comfort during longer stays. Overall the consensus centers on high quality coffee and pastries and a welcoming ambiance, with many planning to return despite occasional service inconsistencies.

Delicious & fairly priced drinks & pastries! We had both the egg cheese croissant & the cinnamon roll & both were devine.

This used to be one of my favorite cafés in the area, great coffee & consistently good baked goods. Coming here was truly a highlight of my day. Unfortunately, I've decided not to return because of repeated negative experiences with one particular barista. I won't name anyone, but I'm confident other regulars will know who I'm referring to.
For almost eight months, I've been met with consistent rudeness: no greeting, no smile, no acknowledgment when I speak, & no indication when my order is ready. What's more upsetting is that this behavior doesn't seem to extend to everyone. It feels selective. I've always been polite & tipped, but I've never received even the smallest gesture of courtesy in return. I gave it time, hoping things would change, but she never did. It's unfortunate because the coffee really is excellent. But no coffee is worth starting my day feeling unwelcome.

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.

It is freezing cold in here in the winter please turn the heat up. Why was the thermostat only at 17 degrees in -18 weather.
That being said very cute place, love the scones!

Used to live a block away from Nocturne & this was my FAV! pastries were all baked fresh in house in the morning & were absolutely delicious! They often had cool rotating flavours for baked goods like maple bacon scones or orange cake! I love how flaky the chocolate croissants are! Their scones were also some of my favourites & often times they were MASSIVE! Their coffee roast is on the darker side but it is so so smooth & the baristas there know how to perfect every cup! They often had seasonal stops that were also homemade! Vibes inside are cozy & there are usually plenty of outlets & a good amount of large tables to work at. One thing to note, is that the wifi sometimes bugs out!

Absolutely love this coffee shop! The barista is always on point & the decor is so nice & cozy. They reserve a "no laptops" table on weekends to encourage reading, chatting, etc!!

It was freezing cold inside, even with my parka on! Couldn't stay for long. Barista was friendly, & Matcha latte was decent. The couch is super worn down & sunk in with no table to place our drinks. Really such a shame.

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!
