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.View more

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!View more

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.View more

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!View more

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!!View more

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.View more

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.View more

Amazing coffee, coffee flavour was amazingly balanced with milk. Foam was Smooth & milk was perfect temperature.View more

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 sideView more

They stopped selling the coffee bag I've been buying for the last 3 years. Cafe Nocturne, I'm sad to say that you lost a loyal regular client.View more

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!View more

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.View more
Andrew
Loved this place! They had an iced coffee slush that was startlingly good. We had to go out of our way to come back the next day for another round.View more

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).View more
Liv
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.View more

Back in Montreal & this place is still an absolute gem. It's small & crowded but still very friendly. As of now (July 2024) they're sourcing coffee from Balance Torréfacteur, which I've discovered is a superb roaster & it's local (to Montreal). I got a cortado, & it was perfection. Taste, body, temperature, proper volume too. It doesn't get better.View more
Alison
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.View more
Lillian
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 offView more

Since moving to the Plateau, this has become my favourite go to place for coffee. I usually come in with my dog & sometimes several times a day to grab a coffee & one of their delicious pastries. I'm always greeted with a smile & feel at home everytime I come. Such a great staff (past & present) but don't know everyone by name to give them the praise they deserve, shout out to Frank & Teomi for being there since I first started coming & always happy to see me & my little dog. Keep up the great work Andre & your great team. 🙏 Hopefully I can convince you to open where I'll be moving lolView more
Henry
The best coffee experience in Montreal. I was not so much into prior I discovered this hidden gem. Their pastries are out of this world & the staff are the best!!!! Shout-out to Frank for always being in such a great moodView more
