Globalement, Café Nocturne est perçu comme un endroit chaleureux et polyvalent, propice au travail comme à la détente autour d’un bon café et de pâtisseries maison, avec des scones et des croissants souvent très appréciés et des boissons bien réussies. Certains avis louent l’ambiance cosy et le personnel amical lorsque la prestation est fluide, mais d’autres soulignent un service parfois lent et peu accueillant, et une expérience qui peut varier selon le jour et la personne au comptoir. L’espace peut être très fréquenté par des clients travaillant sur ordinateur, ce qui complique la recherche d’une place et rend le lieu bruyant; les chaises hautes peuvent aussi manquer de confort. Le chauffage est parfois insuffisant en hiver et le wifi peut être capricieux, ce qui peut gêner les longues sessions. Malgré ces points, l’endroit garde son charme et sa réputation pour le café et les pâtisseries, et il est souvent recommandé comme une belle adresse locale pour passer du temps seul ou entre amis, dans une ambiance cosy et décontractée.
Service was bad, the barista was not welcoming at all & couldn't speak in French either. I took a tea that cost 5$ which would have been fine if it wasn't served in the smallest cup ever. The place was super cold & the chairs are far from comfortable. I like coffee shop but this place has nothing remarkable

Excellent cafe with a nice, lively atmosphere! Got a flat white which was awesome. Despite only one barista working at the time of visiting, the service was pretty good.
À cette personne qui travaillait ce Matin (fille accent française de france) je trouve cela dommage , la 1 er fois que je la vois, elle paraissait comme si on l'a dérangée, dès le moment tu rentre ,énergie négative . Je lui ai souhaitée bonne journée & elle boudé en m'ignorant. Malgré cela ,le bistro excellent, le propriétaire gentil & courtois , tout les autre barista A1
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.

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.

Not sure of her name but the girl with the glasses & curly longer hair is always unnecessarily rude (not to be confused with a quieter girl without glass & curly hair, she's very sweet this review is nothing against her). I live nearby so I come in often & did like it a lot (the other baristas are all friendly & the coffee is good) but my interactions with said barista are always unpleasant & awkward to a point where I think management should be aware. I have even come in with friends & they brought up the same issue. For clarity on the exact issue, she is never smiling or welcoming, she is cold & aloof - usually barely even greets you. She has an attitude & even talks back when you ask a question. I have been a barista myself & am understanding, sometimes you are having a bad day or you are drained BUT this has been MANY times now, in fact everytime she is working this occurs. Now I honestly don't go in if I see she's working unless I want to just quickly grad something & have the energy to just ignore her demeanor.
The barista with dark hair & glasses has an attitude problem. She was rude. I have never seen a barista treat her customers this way. They usually are friendly & simley. Bummer the place has good coffee but her hostile attitude is a turn off
Coffee (Flat white) was not good like seen on Instagram, & the milk was burnt which is shame because we came here after seeing all the good reviews.
The barista mentioned that flat white was supposed to be very liquid since the milk is thinner & latte art wasn’t possible. ( See attached image ) This isn’t true based on other coffee shops I’ve been to.
She then said we should have asked for a cappuccino since the milk was thicker. This was better but still the milk was burnt.
Giving 3 star since she remade coffee for us & the croissant was awesome, but overall won’t come again for just the coffee.
