Feedback on Café Nocturne paints a picture of a cozy spot with strong coffee and pastries, especially scones and croissants, and a vibe that's good for studying or hanging out, while some reviews highlight the friendly side of the service and others point to inconsistent or slow service and occasional unfriendly experiences with staff. Seating is often hard to come by as many patrons work on laptops, and the space can feel chilly in winter or a bit noisy at times. Overall, the cafe is valued for its atmosphere, reliable drinks, and baked goods, though a few reviews warn that service and space constraints can detract from the visit.
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!

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.
The iced chai latte was disappointing - it barely had any chai flavor & tasted mostly like milk. However, the iced coffee was excellent, rich, & flavorful. There's definitely room for improvement on the food & pastry side
Literally changed my whole relationship to coffee. This place is the best! Cute space, great staff, awesome coffee! You can collect stamps & get free coffees if you're a repeat customer. They also sell coffee beans & various coffee gear. I wish they sold t shirts because I would buy one! I've tried their iced tea, their lattes & their matcha - all great!
Didn't get to try the coffee here because it was packed. But it is a nice coffee shop, great for working. Just limited seating & small so fills up fast.
Accueil & service à revoir Même pas de bonjour & la personne au comptoir est plus concentrée à parler avec un ami à elle. Première mauvaise expérience à Montréal !

I tried a new coffee place every day while I was visiting Montreal. I had an Americano at Nocturne, & it was the best coffee I had during my stay (all of the others were good, but this was the best).
